Faking It Doesn’t Really Work

ghostblogging

99 out of 100 times the best posts that I read in the morning are not the ones that I write. In light of that fact I’ve often considered it an important part of this blog here to share with the readers the blog posts that are, quite simply, worth a read.

This morning I had sat down to b-log-it and my mind was rather blank. I had a stash of queued items but I didn’t feel it was the right time to make those go live. I could easily “fake” it and publish one anyways, but my desire is to be authentic (and strategic) in everything that I do.

Thankfully, I read Michael Hyatt‘s recent blog post on Ghost Blogging and Twittering and I realized that this post not only spoke to me right now but it was also a far-better read for your monday morning GooReader than anything I’m going to publish this early AM.

So, head over there and read something good. Come back later and we’ll have a few decent blog bits for your enjoyment. ;)

    Nice one.

    What about faking it for the fun of it. Like something obviously fake like pretending to be a visitor from another planet blogging in order to interact because doing it physically would be impossible?

    I know a few aliens with that problem.
    doh
    there are no aliens
    caught out
    lol

    Yeah, I don't get why someone would want to fake it. I write because it's helpful for me and I think it might be helpful for someone else. If I don't have something to write about, I don't write. I try to follow a "routine" of 2-3 posts per week, but If I don't have something, I'm definitely not going to try to put something up there just to fulfill my ration for the week….

    :) good stuff man.

    hey, just an aside… you have two drafts… which one is which?

    ;)

    Oops! I didn't realize I had two drafts there. There was one version which was “the finished' version except for any pictures. But to be honest, I couldn't contain myself and went ahead and published it on mine! So you can probably delete those two, and I'll try to submit something else and hold off on it while you evaluate it. Cheers.

    Ah.

    Well, I will delete it then. I'm not so much interested in duplicating content. Let me know next time… that could have been bad.
