Social media and the world of blogging has given everyone a voice… Some have a voice that is sent out to the masses and some have a voice that is heard by few and some have a voice that is really only known to their Mum (Hi Mum if you’re reading this post).
Some people make it big and others – well they hope to make it big.
I’m in the hoping category right now!
I read an article on Mamamia the other day by Rosie Waterland (I am convinced that I’m a fraud. Anyone else? ) and I thought to myself… “Rosie you’re amazing – I wish I could write like you. I wish that I could get the traction that you do with your posts. I wish that I could be published on Mamamia. I wish that someone was paying me for my posts.’
I watch people like Carrie Bickmore on ‘The Project’ and I think about how reading the news was my dream job when I was in high school… and then life happened; I went to uni, met the man that I was going to marry, married him seven years later and now have a baby – and I think ‘will I ever make it to reading the news?’
And then I saw that Beth from BabyMac, Kerri from Life and Other Crises and Mrs Woog (who just recently came out at Kayte) from Woogsworld all feature in a weekly segment called ‘The Debrief’ on ‘The Daily Edition’.
Maybe I could ‘make it’ via that avenue?
But I still need to be more popular on this blog first…
I blog, I facebook, I tweet, I instagram – I’m connected… I think that I am resonating with a target audience (I hope that I am resonating with a target audience).
Heck, I hope that I’m more popular that Scotty and Nige from 104.7 here in Canberra. Those guys are truly rubbish!
I keep telling myself that these women I aspire to be like are older than me – give or take 10-20 years, so I just have to be patient … right? And then there is Rosie – who I think is younger than me and I think, ‘Ive got to get my bum into gear.’
Are you enjoying this blog? Are you sharing it on social media? Do you blog? How do people find you?
