Day 19: Warning! Potential boring post ahead!

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Okay dear readers this may be a bit of a boring post for you since I’m not going to talk about any hot current news, or divulge some scintillating detail from my sex life, or even how I glam myself up for a night on the town. I’m just going to share with you my joy in learning how to make my content look good and be easier to read. Its damn helpful for the internet and for business so you might actually appreciate my findings (if you didn’t already google them yourself and you are already a turbo expert at it) I really enjoy learning how to make my stuff look pretty.
So I today I googled “bullet list html” to get myself some code for making lovely little bulleted lists on my pages. Why bullet lists? Let me explain:
Why Bullet Lists Are Hot

  • They look nice and neat
  • They outline statements in an easy to digest way
  • I like circles :)

Isn’t that nice? If you are interested here is the page for the code.

Alright…I am hella busy with all my internetting projects so I’ll get back to work. Again thank you for the feedback here, on youtube, facebook, and flickr! Love hearing from you!

Day 15: You Know WHAT to Talk About but HOW Do You Talk About IT?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

I hope this isn’t a dry blog site. Generally I have too much personality for that. MY problem however involves how I dispense all the interesting info I got stuffed in my brain in a timely manner.

Today I uploaded two videos about beauty and it took me about 10 takes for each one of them! Total NEWB! Thing is I wanted to get it right AND I wanted to make sure youtube didn’t reject them again due to length (I’m a talker when I get going). The time limit thing is really rather smart of youtube cause 30 seconds on the web is like 1 hour in real life. So I get to make it snappy. Getting my videos under 10 minutes is a welcome challenge though.

As I recorded I also wanted to make sure I was actually sharing relevant information in an interesting way. Storytelling is no problem for me. Sharing amusing anecdotes about my life? Piece of new york cheese cake (with cherries)! Providing valuable information in a nicely structured manner that is UNDER 10 minutes? Uh….workin on it.

What really helps is working and being with a guy who’s fantastic at business. Successful business men are all about THE POINT and whether or not it matters to them. THE POINT must be delivered quickly cause they have IMPORTANT things to do – like running a company, securing an investment, etc. etc.
THE POINT must also interest them. Otherwise, they got a whole host of better things to do that will make them money, power, that sort of thing. Their time is precious so they carefully invest it only in things that will RETURN that investment.

The Businessman mentality I’ve noticed applies to just about everyone that jumps on the web. We are all RICH with our access to information. Our ATTENTION however is very precious, and so is our time. So me getting to THE POINT and GETTING YOUR ATTENTION in 10 minutes or less is a very cool learning experience indeed.

Speaking of time…I gotta run…late night dinner with a hot biz guy :)
