I hear from so many new/not so new Active Rainers who tell me how nervous they are about posting a blog article. Why? I mean....I get it, it's scary to put your ideas out into the blog-o-sphere....but everyone has started at sometime. And Active Rain is such a friendly environment that you are going to get encouragement, not ridicule. And the Google Juice....holy cow (really....is a holy thing)...can you truly afford not to move your business forward via the Google Juice? I can't!
I started blogging in January of 2009.....and no one much noticed, at first. So....I got a few comments and they were just points back then. What am I saying? Don't worry...no one is going to notice your first blogs anyway.....just kidding. If it really worries you....then start all your blogs with "I'm still pretty new to this" and the meanies, like Alan May.....you really have to watch out for him :)....will leave you alone.
Just kidding again...Alan is a peach, a doll, a mensh!
I'm trying to give you encouragement here....stop thinking! Just write! It gets easier....does this blog post seem "well-thought out" or "clever"? I rest my case. Stop over-thinking, and write. Need some suggestions to get past the hump?
* What did you do today?
* Post a picture for Wordless Wednesday or Silent Sunday
* Ask a question
* Post a listing
* Support the Lakers (ok, ok....your favorite team)
Just start writing! You can always delete it if Alan gets too mean....JUST KIDDING!
