What My First Job Taught Me About Blogging

Hi Gordon, I realize it's a bit of a broad sweeping statement, but if you'll indulge me for just a moment. When you get hired for and work a more traditional kind of job at a more traditional kind of company, particularly a very large company, there is a very good chance that you play a very specific kind of role. As an accountant, you're not all that involved in marketing. As a human resources specialist, you're not driving the delivery trucks. While there are exceptions, to be sure, this is generally the case. But, it is not at all the case when you decide to strike it out on your own and turn your blog into a full-blown business in its own right. Suddenly, you'll find yourself wearing many hats. As much as you might enjoy the activity of writing captivating blog posts, just blogging isn't enough on its own. You've got advertising, marketing, outreach, analytics, accounting, logistics, competitive analysis, design, branding, and all the rest of it. To this end, even if your first job (or your most recent job) doesn't seem like it has anything to do with blogging, it probably does. There are lessons to be learned, so long as you're willing to look for them. Click Here To Continue Read The Blog Post I hope you enjoy the rest of the post.  Have a great weekend. John
