Why this blog is just so darn awesome
I’ve made some mistakes, as I mentioned yesterday. However, there have been some awesome moments this blog has seen. This blog itself is awesome.
For one thing, how many blogs have you seen that matches this theme? That’s what I thought. Nothin’, baby! Look, this blog is its own. It’s not better or worse. It’s different. Your blog is different. That’s how it should be. Don’t go copying off of others. Be your own brand. Your own style. Embrace that.
Three Mistakes I’ve Made With This Blog
We all f up at some point. I’ll tell you how bad it was managing this blog.
1. Not having a plan
I started this blog without a real plan for it. I didn’t even know how to describe it. I remember one time this guy asked me “what do you do?” and I was all excited when I said “I write on my blog” and he’s like, “cool, what do you write about?”
Crap.
See, back then it was Dante’s Opinion. So, everything I wrote about was centered around my opinion. So, I felt like some sort of self righteous, arrogant, stereotypical blogger dude when I said “I write about my opinion on stuff. It’s called Dante’s Opinion so it’s my opinion on whatever topics”
Yuck. I didn’t even have like, a genre to express my opinion on. I was ready to talk about anything. Sports. Politics (idiot). Culture. All of that and more. I just jumped in without really thinking about it all.
When you compare it to what you see today, you realize what I’m saying. Like, today there’s a blog and I got sexy logos and a newsletter and all of these things. There’s research involved with the name of the blog and “optimism” and all of that. Like, there was ACTUAL PLANNING going on. Building a strategy and stuff like that. Having a vision and sticking with it. Those previous years was me gradually coming to the realization of what I wanted to do with this space.
What I Do Memes Describing Me
You ever run across those “What I Do” memes? If you don’t know, these memes give viewpoints of a profession or type of person from various “people” like society, family, friends, and more. These memes represent my various titles in life. Enjoy.
I’d say that was pretty accurate. The last two were not the best but I loved the first four.
Repost: What Am I Optimistic About?
Dante’s Optimism is the 3rd name change for this blog. It’s called Dante’s Optimism, but do you have any idea what I’m optimistic about?
I post nice stuff like good news, inspirational quotes, and all of that. But, is that something I really care about? Do I believe in that?
Well, yeah, to some degree. But, they don’t always match what I personally feel. What is optimism? Hey, Merriam-Webster, help me out.
