Lately I haven’t been blogging. I’ve been reading books.
If you blog and haven’t read Seth Godin’s blog, go there now. It’s a must read. I’m currently reading Seth’s book, All Marketers Are Liars: The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World. The premise of the book is about telling authentic stories. Companies that are able to tell an authentic story usually succeed.
What story are blogs really supposed to tell?
Most blogs fail because people fail to find their voice. I don’t exactly know what that means but I do know that right now the internet is full of blogs. You might even say it’s blogged down with blogs. There’s so many people out there with a story, positive or negative, to tell. I walked into Starbucks yesterday and I noticed 2 people blogging. How do I know? They told me when I asked them.
How are blogs supposed to tell an authentic story?
It seems like the best blogs or at least the blogs with the heaviest traffic/readership have an author(s) that spends all day blogging and commenting. I mean all day. Before the sun rises till Linda Cohn hosts Sportscenter. The blogging world is doomed when bloggers start blogging about other bloggers blogging about other bloggers.
How do I know that my blog is authentic?
This is how I know my blog is authentic. My blogging efforts usually begin when I sit down at my computer with a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal or oatmeal and ends when the aforementioned cereal or oatmeal is in my belly. If I have something to say, I say it. If I don’t have something to say, I read other blogs. There are enough blogs that start with a B and end with a S. I just don’t want to be one of them.
