GREAT ADAPTATIONS

Where’s your entry point?

The blogosphere invites you, but how do you get there?

(I hear you knockin’, but you can’t come in!)

What is this place, anyway?

The blogosphere is the great creative force through which you can organize anything. It’s talk-friendly / art-friendly / idea-friendly / money-friendly / community-friendly / and friend-friendly.

So you go forth and try to find your way through the first learning curves. Once you’ve done that, you’ll get to climb up onto that first plateau where you, personally, can communicate. You can also make money. The options and choices on this plateau are staggering in number. It’s exciting, totally creative, and open to anyone.

Where’s your entry point? That’s the big question.

Remember that kid’s game Chutes and Ladders? Well, that’s what it seemed like to me a while back when I was trying to get the most basic understanding of what people are doing online and in the evolving blogosphere. I could see a lot of excitement, sure, and it really did look like there was a way to make a decent living, but what a morass! And which direction to take?

Watch out for that morass.

It held me up for years, keeping me from finding my own community online. I couldn’t even begin the experiment. Maybe I’m easily “confoundable,” but I don’t think I’m alone in being totally confused by the whole online world.

Just think about finding your own entry point. I can tell you that this is a tremendous time to be entering the learning curves of online income. It’s changed drastically, but you can still apply what you already know. It’s changed in all the best ways, in my honest opinion. And we have some very friendly people working hard to explain the whole machine.

Where’s your entry point?

How do you find it? The answer depends on some personal issues, actually. If you are ready to take on the whole machine so you can start making a decent living as soon as possible, you want to enter at what I call the Fast Track and learn quickly and efficiently. If you’re still just looking around, happy with your day job, just exploring, you have time to peruse more of the philosophy of this socio-cultural-impact-beast.

Still groping?

If you are groping in the dark like I was in 2004, then you’d benefit from my series called “Before You Begin.” This e-mail series takes you from the ground floor of the Internet, through a solid look at all the aspects involved in being successful at online communicating. From there you have several good choices to continue your learning journey. All you need to do is go up to the top of the column on the right, and subscribe. I send the series to my subscribers by e-mail.

Are you The Writer in The Blog?

I’ m betting you are, and all you need is a foothold on how the whole industry works. It’s changed dramatically in the last few months, finally emerging from what was a confusing jumble of different worlds, into its own valid industry of communication. Now that it is a bit more grown up, it’s easier to talk about, and much more relevant to a lot more people. All that’s needed is adventurous souls willing to take on some learning curves, and ready to share it with each other. Are you game?

Where’s your entry point? Can you already answer that question?

To your outrageous success,

Suzanna
