By now, I should have moved this to a domain, www.nicholasreicher.com. I’m sure all of you have figured that out!
There’s a lot of stuff that Michael Hyatt recommends to do this. I stored his article on WordPress to Evernote (another Michael Hyatt Recommendation). And I may even start writing my blog on Scrivener (ANOTHER Michael Hyatt recommendation).
I’m using Bluehost (a Michael Hyatt recommendation) which is $71.40 up front for a year.
WordPress was offering about the same pricing, but a lower up front cost for the year. My calculations show that 2.95 a month times 12 is $35.40 – but I wanted some of the features that Bluehost was offering. I’m glad I did, because I’ve been doing a LOT with WordPress I couldn’t do on the .com website!
on Michael Hyatt.com (it’s a different link than above), Michael explains some simple tweaks for a blog that you’ll need to do. Some of them I’ve done, others are coming.
- Get a great photo shoot. Michael says this inspires confidence – I’m showing my face to the people. Be afraid.
- Commission a professional logo. Branding. Great. Nicholas Reicher®. But it communicates professionalism. And when a studio is debating spending a minimum payment of $12,000 on a script, it’s a no-brainer.
- Update your blog header. I dunno, I like my blog header!
this from Michael Hyatt… - Get an official email, so it’s not something cheesy like moehoward@aol.com, but more brand oriented, like moe@moehoward.com.
- Dress up your social media pages. It’s important to align your branding and messaging across all of the social media channels that you use. That means a consistent use of head shots, logos, and color schemes.
There you go. Big changes MAYBE coming!
