An Unconventional Path to Blog Identity: Nonconformity
After I first started struggling through my blog identity crisis an old coworker of mine @robpederson, sent me a tweet:
“@joebuddejr This might help with your blog identity crisis http://tinyurl.com/d8p8s3“
Obviously, I’ll try anything to figure out this blogging identity crisis…
After arriving at the link the title of the site caught my eye, “The Art of Nonconformity: Unconventional Strategies for Life, Work and Travel” a blog written by Chris Guillebeau.
In his manifesto, a very well crafted e-book, Chris explains how you can change your life to become a full time blogger. He says we will learn the following things:
- How I Became a Full-Time Writer in 279 Days
- The Complete Revenue Estimate for my Personal Site in 2009
- The World Domination Strategy for Establishing Your Brand
- Avoiding the Vampires who Want You to Fail
- Why Adsense (and most other Web Advertising) Sucks
- How to Stay Off the Digg Home Page and Still Get All the Traffic You Need
Now, sure some of these topics apply to my blog, but at this point, I am not a full time blogger – shocking I know. Anyways, the valuable thing in this book is to understand the questions he asked himself to write this. So reading it, I have been asking myself, what questions has he asked to get the results he desired.
The power of introspection is at work. I sure hope I can find my blog’s identity through this e-book!
