Quick win v Long term success
Another great post from Seth Godin
“Many bloggers seem to be on a perpetual hunt for the front page of Digg. Sure, it brings you hordes of eyeballs, but then they turn around and leave. What’s the point of that, really?
I think that are plenty of tips you can follow to optimize your offering for this fickle mass group. But it’s still a crap shoot. Doesn’t it make more sense to incrementally earn the attention of a smaller, less glitzy but far more valuable group of people who actually engage with you? And the best part is, your odds of success are a lot better.”
This is exactly what type of blog I see this as, one where I have a small amount of loyal followers, that I can try and add value to their lives by sharing my successes, failures and findings in my own life. Self promotion is great for a quick hit in traffic, however word of mouth seems to get the type of people I think this site is aimed at.
