Ok... so, I think I'm starting to get use to this whole blog thing. My experience so far has seemed beneficial. Although, I really don't know how many people actually read my last blog, which coincidentally could be the most meaningful and important blog that I will ever write. In order to fully indulge myself in "the art of blog" or "toab" (as I will refer to it) i felt it neccessary to take a few key steps in the education process, of which is imperative in attempting any new form of art (atleast the ones i've attempted).
#1: research and read several interesting blogs- my experience in taob has been, for lack of better words, really neat. The most educational (in this sense) and promising blog that I have read is written by a guy named Hogan aka dc*b, you may have heard of him. These blogs are funny, creative, inspiring, sometimes about nothing yet seemingly purposeful. Something i learned: you can get people to buy something by getting them to read your blog.
#2: don't inerupt the creative flow- I started taob earlier today, had to leave (when dutty calls) came back and found that I now have no creative juices flowing. Although I do have a space heater across the room that everytime I see it out of the corner of my eye, I think its a person.
#3: know your audience- ok, earth to Jamie, i'm back in the flow (and a little warmer i might add... these heaters are great!) Who might be reading this? Who are you... reader, is your name. What kind of a person might want to know what i'm thinking, a new revelation from God, what's happening in the life of jamiebonife.com, or just simply didn't want to give up ten bucks so they visit the site everyday and just keep playing my songs over and over again. Hmmm. I honestly don't know. This may be a problem in taob.
#4: always keep thesaurus.com open- some may ask, why. But to truly engage, inspire, and penetrate the hearts of the people in this world of web, this torrent of typing, this macrocosmos of multimedia, this universe of untold intelligence called internet and... "taob", you must, and I will say it again YOU MUST not use words like, cool, like, omg, lol, ily, qq, ttyl, or any other dumb word. Please.
well... this is it. Yes, it would've made sense to have five points. But that's why i'm an artist and not a book keeper for a masonry contracting business. So long, and please dont forget that taob serves a purpose today and that is to keep you entertained during this Holiday season. From all that I have learned in my journey of taob I have one final thought: you can use a blog to get people to buy things.
