Why 09/09/09 09:09

by jmadmin on September 9, 2009

The number 1 question everyone is asking me is why I launched on 09/09/09 09:09am EST

There really are 2 reasons that I am doing this.

#1 it’s a very cool date! Why not start today?  And since this date only comes along every 100 years, I thought I would take advantage of this opportunity to launch today!

You may not have realized this, but September has 9 letters in it, and today is Wednesday which also has 9 letters in it, and if that weren’t weird enough… today is the 252nd day of the year and if you add those numbers together they also equal 9.  Spooky.

#2 I want this blog to serve as an example of the concepts that I will be writing about. In my first video I spoke about strategy before tactics.  I strategically launched this blog today because I personally wanted a memorable date.  However I could have launch on any date. The key is taking action! You don’t need a special date to start, just make a plan and take action!

I want to let you know why there isn’t much content on this site. I purposely wanted to create a completely new site to illustrate that you can literally start from scratch at anytime and have a successful blog. I want to show how a blog can evolve, just take action!

I also want to hear from you. Let’s start a discussion.  Please answer one of the following questions in a comment below this post.

  1. If you have a blog, when and why did you start it and what advice can you give to a person considering starting a blog
  2. If you don’t have a blog yet, what’s holding you back?

That’s if for now, but I’ll be back tomorrow.   See you then.

Welcome to JoselinMane.com.

My goal with this blog is to create a place for strategic thinking in a tactical world. What that means is, here you will learn how to best leverage the right people & technologies to achieve your business goals in the fastest way possible.

You see, we are living in a world where there seems to be an overwhelming amount of new social media tools and technologies.  And although having options is great, having too many options can be really daunting.  The fact that the tools are not being implemented has nothing to do with cost as most of the tools are free. I think the reason they are not being used is because there still quite a bit of misunderstanding on how to be best leverage them.

So the first step is to identify the best social media tools & technologies to use relative to your business goals, and then the next step is to learn how to best optimize them.  A key to speeding up the implementation of any of these tools is to know It who the right people are and if there are any online communities that you can reach out to if you need additional assistance.

There are tools like Twitter, FaceBook, WordPress, Firefox, and many many others that have become industry standards.

Unfortunately even though there are plenty of technology sites that focus on the technical aspects of these tools there are few site sites that talk about the business benefits to leveraging them.

I will not only, go over why your business should be leveraging these standard social media tools and technologies but most importantly how to use them and how to best optimize them for your business. You will see that once you get going these tools are not as complicated as they may seem at first, and can provide results in a very short period of time.

I will let you know about new tools as they become available.  I will test them and research the best way to optimize them. Then finally I will share my findings with you here.

I will also be interviewing Social Media Mavens & CEO’s of Technologies so that you get the best practices directly from the people that created the social media tools & technologies that I highlight here.

The key word here is leverage. How can you best leverage these tools for maximum results

My first gift to you, as I will be providing many, is a form called Tools for Blog Success.   It is a tool that I have created and give to my clients who want to start their own blog.  So, if you want to start a blog it will give you a blueprint on how to do so, or if you already have a blog, it will help you define your goals and improve on what you are already doing.

I hope you enjoy this blog I have created for you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. I would love to hear your thoughts. Please comment below. Thanks
