As you might have noticed via my Twitter avatar I am doing Movember (http:/movember.com) with a team of guys. Movember is not only a fun excuse to grow a moustache for an entire month, it is also a cause creating awareness around men’s cancer and raising donations for LiveStrong (http://www.livestrong.com/ ) .

But, I want you guys to have some fun as well so here is what I’ve come up with.

1.) If you go to my donation page here: http://us.movember.com/mospace/237597

2.) And give just $1 then you are entered into a contest to win this t-shirt: http://www.palmercash.com/p-83-mens-moustache-man-t-shirt.aspx

* On November 27th at 12:00am Central Standard Time is when this contest closes.
* On Monday November 30th I’ll announce the winner.
* Yes, you can enter multiple times, each dollar you donate is another entry. (So a $5 donation is 5 entries, etc.)

[NOTE: In the donation process be sure to leave your name and Twitter username in step five “Leave a Message” of donating so I can contact you if you win.]

Let’s do this!!

Content isn't the Point

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:22:00 -0700

I am sure you've heard it say a number of times that "content is king." This is just as true as it has ever been in communicating, connecting and building presence online. But often it is easy to think that the content is the point, that just cranking out blog posts, seeing web traffic growth and growing your personal (or organizational) awareness is where it ends. That is very wrong.

Content for content sake or just for presence sake is a tremendous waste of time. It is part of the problem so many bloggers and individuals communicating through social media have when they are trying to "monetize" their website, blog, podcast etc. Making money from just the presence of content is the most competitive market on earth, even TV Shows are FREE now through sites like hulu.

So, why is content still king then? Because of the opportunities it can bring if properly leveraged and for the people you can connect to if you follow up. Content gives you presence online, if it is good content it will attract people and as they trust you they will make themselves known. That is when the game starts. Following up with those who have made themselves known, providing opportunities for them to buy, commit, contribute or go deeper is essential.Gary Vaynerchuk would call content the start and the followup and chasing down of opportunities it can bring "the hustle."

If you are having trouble with just the content part it is extremely likely that content is the only point for you. Like a personal blog about thoughts you think. Eventually we aren't even interesting to ourselves if we aren't going for something. But if we are intentionally looking to place our selves into the midst of a conversation, if we are seeking opportunity beyond the content, and we have in mind how we are going to "hustle" to close the gap, then content starts to become very natural.
