Do you ever feel like the content you create is just adding to the noise that is the internet? After all, there are about 59 million blog posts put up somewhere on the web each month. I write one of them if I feel like I have something to say. Which means that my content is really about 1/59,000,000th of blog posts for any given month. In decimal form, it is on the verge of beyond not relevant. It is represented by an atom on a rock on the tire of a car in a parking lot of a big box store on Black Friday.
It is not surprising to think that perhaps no one knows it is there.
Like any good blogger I like to know that my stuff is being read. So it surprised me when I received an email that said not only that somebody read my blog, but that somebody thought it was pretty cool. Granted, this wasn’t an Academy Award or Nobel Peace Prize, but I am pretty sure those aren’t geared towards blogs anyways.
So when I learned that I was in the top 100 Business coach websites and blogs for business professionals, I felt pretty amazing. Suddenly I was no longer an atom on a rock on a tire. I was the equivalent of a nail on a tire. People respond when they have a nail on a tire. Of course, in this regard the response is much more positive than the resulting flat tire.
If you are interested, check out feedspot.com for the Top 100 Business Coach Websites and Blogs For Business Professionals. Be careful, that is a rabbit hole that you can easily kill a day with. There are a lot of great bloggers on there.
The best part is that many of the winning blogs are part of huge companies that probably have a team or writers. Those writers probably passed English class with a lot of gold stars. It turns out my team of writers is made up of me, the actual person that would be your business coach. I did not get many gold stars in English class. So if you like my blog and what I have to say, you will probably like me and what I have to say to you. Teams of writers in larger companies tend to cloud that personality test. That doesn’t mean their blogs are no good, some actually have some solid content.
What it means is that since I do well competing with fancy writer people and I am not a fancy writer, this may work for you as well. It tells you whether you feel you have the chops to write a blog for your business or not, you probably should. You never know who is reading.
Congratulations to the other Top 100 bloggers. The fact that you made content and got it found alone is almost worth an award in itself.
So my request for you is to blog. Write content that you feel the world is better knowing. Get that 59 million number up to 59 million and 1.
