Dena tagged me - by asking me 5 questions someone had asked her, and which she answered on her blog.
Having just decided today to embark on a ‘November Social Media Challenge’ to boost traffic to my brand new Infopreneur Blog, I thought this would make a nice beginning… so here are my answers:
1. How long have you been blogging?
Off and on since 2003. More regularly from 2005.
2. What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
The growing popularity of blogs in 2004.
3. Are You trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
Both. I have a lot of fun doing what I do online. Incidentally, it also makes me a lot of money!
4. Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.
- the interaction with wonderful folks around the globe
- the flexibility of working on stuff whenever you find time
- the freedom to explore interests and satisfy curiosity without feeling self-conscious or worrying about what others will think
5. Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world.
- trying to fit in all that I want to do into the limited time available
- technology glitches (they still happen)
- email… both overload and its growing unreliability and delivery problems
Ok, those are short answers to Dena’s 5 questions. But it doesn’t end there.
I now should post a comment on Dena’s blog. She will come by, see my responses and maybe comment on them.
In addition, I get to pick 5 other bloggers and invite them to join in by answering these same questions… and then tagging a few other bloggers in their turn.
To fit the theme of the ‘Social Media Challenge’ I posted on Twitter - and here are the folks I’m tagging…
1. Te-ge Bramhall runs the Stumble Upon Comments blog.
2. Alice Seba who is an Internet marketing sweetie
3. Caroline Middlebrook whom I hope will find this right up her alley, as she taught me a lot about the need for a blog commenting strategy.
4. Justin Kownacki, another ‘Twitter friend’ who has a refreshingly interesting voice to his blog.
5. Marina Martin because I think she’ll enjoy answering these 5 questions! And she volunteered too on Twitter.
TAG… you’re it, folks!
Don’t forget to comment on my blog - so I can drop by and check your answers. And thanks for taking the time!
