There’s No Place Like Home, Or Is There?
It’s Day 19 of the 30 Day Video Challenge and I find myself expressing thoughts and sharing sides of myself that I wouldn’t normally show publicly….
But here we go.
Recently, I’ve been thinking about home and what I want in a home… Murray and I spent the last two years together traveling the world and we’ve been completely location-independent since October 2012. We made this choice partly because we love to travel and partly because Murray has to spend as much time out of the country as he can spend in the country…
So over the last 7 months we’ve lived in Thailand, Bali, Los Angeles, Phoenix and New Orleans.
Come August we’re getting married… and we won’t have any restrictions on being in the country or out of the country…
And that’s let us think about finally having a home base together… somewhere to launch from…
And we’re trying to figure out where we want that place to be. What’s meaningful to us — everything from sun to food to people…
So I thought I’d put it out there and see where you live and why you choose it… get some thoughts and inspiration as we figure out, “Where to next?”
What to Blog About
After one of my students asked me “When choosing what topics to blog about, do you consider what your peers are blogging about or what inspires you?,” I typed “what to blog about” into the Google Keyword tool and discovered that over 20 million people/month are searching for this phrase in the United States alone…
Blogging has become a part of doing business and even a part of living in the year 2013.
But so many people get hung up on what to say, so they stop before they’ve really gotten started.
There’s nothing worse than staring at a blank screen. And nothing more fulfilling than firing up your computer and having that blog post flow right out of you because you know exactly what to write about — or exactly what to say when you push record on that video camera.
In this video, I let you know the 3 key considerations for figuring out that content marketing strategy:
1. What you want to become known for
2. What topics relate to the products and services you’re offering
3. What your target audience wants to know and may even be searching for.
