Consistency Is the Rule of the Day

When I began this week of study, I stated that one of the changes that I would make is that I would blog daily. The reason for this change is because I wanted to see if that would drive more views to my site and maybe some communication. Baby steps for me.

Well, already I failed my attempt to blog daily. That is crazy because I write daily. I post on Facebook daily. I have no idea why blogging daily is such a challenge. But, water under the bridge, I am here today, and what is my topic? None other than...

Consistency 

Keeping in mind that I am studying Internet Marketing. I am looking at how to use online and offline strategies for marketing. I am getting a lot out of this class because I am able to apply it to what I do with Pink Zebra. BUT...

I am finding that I am not sure that Pink Zebra is what I really want to Blog about. I am finding that my blogs, and vlogs, should be my writings. I remember stating when I first began my classes in  2010 (or maybe it was 2011 when I got this realization),  that the product that I am really marketing is myself as a writer. 

But through this class I am able to see if I am really reaching anyone or if I am just speaking words into the wind. I really hope that I am blessing someone. I really hope that even in my school blogs that I am helping someone in the area of the direct sales projects. 

As for me, consistency is very important, I have found, because with so many voices vying to be heard on the Internet, I realize now that I must be consistent in speaking. The minute I slow down, the minute that I back away, the minute that I get silent, I am replaced. I have seen this as I have stepped away from Facebook several times. BUT...

I have also learned that when stepping away from Facebook, there should be a purpose for it. Sort of like redefining oneself. METAMORPHOSIS is what I once called it. That moment when I go into a shell as one thing but emerge as another. It is my growth process. 

In this period of growth, where I am being called upon to find my voice, to not be as silent as I can be, I find that the message is to be consistent. Consistent in speaking to the public. Consistent in sharing. 

I already know what my next lesson will be. It will have to do with the delivery of the message. It will have to do with the presentation which plays a big part in engaging the public. For that lesson, I have been looking a lot at YouTube. I have been paying attention to the personality of the video. So much I have to learn. To be consistent and not be camera shy. 

Im getting there. One day at a time. This week I simply need to focus on consistency.
