Web Visibility Question? Ask Tinu

I don’t know this guy Soren per­son­ally, and I’ve never been to his blog before today. In the inter­est of dis­clo­sure, I will NOT make ANY money by telling you about this post. He prob­a­bly will, but I’m too tired today to turn this into money for me. 

He made an excel­lent post about out­sourc­ing, and I’ll be frank, there’s an affil­i­ate link in his post, for a prod­uct I think is a must-have. If I had got­ten any sleep Thurs­day night before watch­ing the twins (dur­ing my mas­ter­mind call!) I would prob­a­bly have gone and signed up as an affil­i­ate myself. 

The sales page linked from his page alone is that good of a les­son. But this post isn’t about that.

The rea­son I’m telling you about the post, even if you don’t even click on the link to the sales page is that Out­sourc­ing Saved My Ass. And by exten­sion, my busi­ness. (Yes, I have that much junk in my trunk. lol. This is why peo­ple need sleep. Silli­ness like this.)

Every busi­ness owner’s mind drifts to the reces­sion at some point.

Last week, we were talk­ing about one of the rea­sons busi­ness blog­ging growth is slow­ing.

Part of the rea­son growth is slow­ing is that the instant fame model of blog­ging is prov­ing to be hol­low. You can’t be an instant suc­cess blog­ger. It just doesn’t happen. 

It may look like this blog­ger was an overnight suc­cess or that com­pany got instant social media atten­tion. But there’s always a huge amount of work cou­pled with a huge amount of work behind it.

And yet. There is a way that busi­ness blog­ging can greatly enhance your vis­i­bil­ity day after day, if you’re will­ing to forgo the Hyper-Viral model.
