“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don’t mind, and those that mind, don’t matter.” ~Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)

So, you are committed to writing daily, perhaps you already are writing daily.  Where do you write?  I’m not asking about the physical location where you invoke the muse; I am talking about where you are going to be making your writing visible to the online world.  Here is what I have learned so far – from my own experience and from my coaches:

1. You need a blog – almost certainly a WordPress blog – and you should be posting blog entries to this at least three times per week – five would be better in the beginning.
2. After you have gotten into the swing of posting blog entries, then you also need to be micro-blogging on Twitter.  To ignore this tool, as I did for so long, is foolish.
3. After you have gotten into doing these two writing platforms consistently, then you need to add posting comments on other blogs, writing to Facebook, working with LinkedIn and eventually YouTube.  I haven’t decided which of these that I am going to add next, but we will all know shortly and you follow my lead.  (I promise to be an example – either a good one or a bad one, but I will for sure be an example!)

Your Masterpiece

All along of course, you should be writing on your manuscript, your masterpiece, the first baby of your imagination and expertise that you will release to the world.  You don’t know what that is yet – fine.  Then start to write down some of the things that you love to do – even pay to do now – probably there is a great place to master and write about in that.  For me, I started by writing down all of the things that I speak about in my seminars and that gave me a great place to look for potential products – information products, books etc. – that I could create and release.

What am I working on Today?

• I am making a blog post.
• I am finishing reading Richard Branson’s book “Losing my Virginity” to see what business skills and beliefs I can model from this exceptional achiever.
• I will make a few micro-blog post – tweets – about my day.
• I will work on my manuscript for my goal setting product that I intend to be the first things that I release to the online world.
• I will be working on some consulting proposals for the fall.

Till next time…Happy Writing!
