Time for a bit of a brain dump

-

 So I've been focusing on my business and I'm trying to get my social media game on point. One thing that almost everyone talks about is content pillars. Content pillars are topics or themes that a brand regularly posts about on social media. These things represent a brand's value and some of what the brand is all about. Some people say you should have 5 content pillars, some say 4, some say 3, whatever. I have not been able to land on content pillars that resonate with me and that I can seem to stick with. So this little brain dump will be me exploring content pillars. 

One of the themes that I did hit on is uniqueness.  I want the products that I sell to be unique and different. The people who would buy my products are looking for something unique and different. They don't want the same old thing mass produced in China. So how could I turn the theme of uniqueness into some social media posts. Well, I could talk about being different and that's okay. I could talk about not following the crowd but going your own way. I could talk about using things in a unique way. So not everything has to tie back to my products, though, it can just be something I post about regularly. Maybe one day a week post about uniqueness. It's easy enough to find unique things happening all over the place. I could make it kind too. Okay, so the first pillar will be uniqueness. 

Now, what can the second pillar be? So one of the pillars I guess can be my products. I want to post about them and so why not make that one of my pillars. Okay, that's pretty easy. 

Okay, one more. I could go for motivational stuff, or funny stuff. Or something I enjoy outside of my work. Like reading! I'm reading a bunch of books recently, and plan to keep that up, so why not talk about the books I'm reading. That would be a great one. I have read some great books and some crappy ones. Always a good topic and people love to talk about their reading. 

Okay, I've got my three pillars: 

Uniqueness

Product

Reading

I will use these topics to post regularly on my social media pages. I love it. I'm off now to make some posts.

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
