I’ve got too many blogs.
Best practice says I ought to post on a regular schedule in one place. Sticking to a topic my subscribers will appreciate and build my expert status and marketing niche.
Good ideas. I teach that myself. I have never been too good at practicing what I preach
On a good day, I’ll say I’m a renaissance man, a generalist with a lot of ideas to share on a variety of topics. Then, I’ll sit down and get busy with a project and decide it need to be put with a certain type of post on a separate web site.
I think if I was put up 3 posts on each of my blogs and kept up with the social media correspondence that results from sharing things, I’d need about 150 hours a week and still would miss some things.
But the real truth is… I get bored easily.
Social Media to the Rescue
I love how we have current technologies are allowing me to post small pieces of content, dozens of times each day. I’m gong to keep sharing news, tips, quotes and ideas I find with my social media network.
However, blogging is still the biggest of the social media platforms and I’ve got a two or thing I think are worth putting out there.
I must admit that the TODO list for blogging has gotten out of hand. This morning, I found a site that had a nifty slider to highlight posts.. with empty posts. A project I started six months ago. Several thousand people saw an error page as a post of another blog.
I could go on.. but I’m embarrassed just thinking about it.
So I’ve fixed up a few, put in a TON of redirection links so that people looking for my posts longer than 140 characters can find me and tried to put most of my plans for near term future writing to point here.
This blog is a little barren, it’s just me. You can read more about Profitable Social Media on the home page of this site
Check back tomorrow for a post with substance.. and let me know how I’m doing with a comment below, a tweet or message on any of the 30,327 sites I’m using when I’m not here.
Yes makes sence to talk it out on here =) Helpful too since you are not the only one like this grin.

Thanks Shane
I started out wanting to post that I had move all my blog posts to one place. by the time I posted, I had hardly mention that aspect.
Kind of a “Hello World” for the new sub blog of Profitable Social Media 🙂 .. second time I’ve done that in a year
Oh, can I ever relate. I just began sorting through my various pages, courses, etc., from my eclectic pile of interests and expertise.
I realized that all my work and various niches boiled down to personal development. But the niches are the challenge. Spiritual, marketing, sales, etc. Now I can see the interrelationship of them all, I have to figure out how to best consolidate some of them.
From YourInnerWizard.com to YourInnerMarketer, to TomJustin.com and beyond. Whew, just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap!
Thanks for the prompting though, it’s perfect timing.
Take care,
Tom

I think that once we know about targeting and niches, we tend to overthink “sticking to the niche”
Some successful marketers get very focused and for a while do well that way. In the long run, they are faced with the same dilemma. we all like variety and it’s spice.
Right now, I’m with you.. Time to refocus and work on priorities.. At least for the next 15 minutes 🙂
