I’ve decided that I’m kind of at a crossroads with this blog and would like to arrive at a decision in the next few weeks.
I have MANY interests (food, technology, health, environmental issues, photography, project management, sports, fashion, self-reliance, social media, fitness and many, many other passions) and my thinking is to decide how I would like to showcase all of these (IF that is even possible) in a blog that truly communicates my “brand” and yet allows me to drill down into specific detail without watering down all of the content or remain fixated on one area over another. It’s kind of struggle, actually.
Of late, I’ve been really focusing on building relationships (on&offline) and getting the word out for my latest project: MyAchillesRupture.com and this has immense meaning in my life. I’ve been REALLY loving Twitter lately and finding tremendous value with that tool. I think the dialogue happening due to Twitter and the processing of various content streams has really prompted me to adjust my own strategy.
I’d love your feedback in the form of comments here, PM on Twitter, email (josuediaz11[at] [gmail] dot [com]).
I don’t take this decision lightly and want to truly display what I find useful, entertaining and how I can add value through further brand building of my own personal brand.
Thank you
Josue,
No matter the topic, I enjoy reading your perspective. You could continue to balance the topics in one place (purposefully rotating a 1-2 topics a week), break up your topics into separate blogs (like Seth Simonds and Jamey Bennett do… Jamey’s sites are stand-alone by topic, and then he has a central blog that is a stream of all the blogs combined : http://www.wittenberghall.com/ ), or keep this blog for personal items and http://MyAchillesRupture.com for injury recovery focus / support.
Things like Tag Clouds (which you have) help people to find similar posts.
Another option would be to find a blog format that enables you to have sections, much like a newspaper. This way, you can highlight various interests while keeping them somewhat separated from each other.
Excited to see what you come up with!
Thanks for the helpful comment Sarah! I do appreciate it. I will take what you’ve mentioned and use that in support of a particular direction.
