Is There Room For Another Internet Marketing Blog?

I had an interesting email earlier in the week and it is not the first of it’s kind that I have received. It came from Johnn (no website listed) and this is what he asked:

My question, if you have the time and inclination, is – is there room  for yet another online marketing blog?

I do online marketing at work, and while on vacation this week I decided I’d love to do a blog or website about what I’ve learned, and to use the site to explore topics about what I don’t know (which means I could be writing for a lonnnnggg time, lol).

I stumbled onto your blog, and from there I lost a day chainsmoking linkbait. Wow – there are so many people blogging and selling online marketing. It seems like such a crowded topic.

I had hoped my blog/site would one day replace my day job. :)

But, is there room for yet another online marketing blog?

What are your thoughts?

It would seem that this is indeed an important question for many people because I had another one asking a very similar question today. This one came from Brooks Van Norman and this is what he asked me:

I want to become an authority like you and Yaro…but so does everyone else it seems.  I’m humbled by how much good content there is out there and also how
many people seem to be doing the same thing….

You started in 9/07… and today there are probably 1,000’s of others doing something similar.

Am I too late to a party with standing room only?  What’s going to separate newcomers from the rock stars like you and Yaro? Any room left at the top?

The short answer is YES! Absolutely!

There Is ALWAYS Room for One More (Or a Million More)

Is this the ONLY blog about Internet Marketing that you read? I highly doubt it! Do you find that with other blogs of a similar topics that the subject area overlaps somewhat? Sure it does! Why then, do you read lots of different content sources on the same topic?

Because each one offers a different and unique perspective!

I write in my style of writing that only I can write because I am the only person on the planet that is me. Nobody else can write this blog. My writing will resonate with some people, it will turn off some people, it will leave others with indifference and of course there are loads of in-between’s. And so it is for every single one of you out there.

You have your own unique voice, a way of writing that only you can write because you are the only person in the world who is you. And what you write will find its way into the hearts of the people who resonate with you. And like me, there will be people who don’t like you, who don’t like what you have to say or the way you say it. And that’s ok too because that’s the way the world works!

Every Perspective Is Unique

If you watch a movie with a friend, you are both seeing the same movie but is your experience of that movie the same? Think about it…. No it’s not. Try this exercise. Go to Amazon, find the best seller list, pick a topic you like and pick a book with many customer reviews. Are there 5 star ratings? Are there 1 star ratings too? Are there 2, 3 & 4 star ratings? How can this be?

How can the exact same book be received so differently? Because we each filter what we read / watch / feel / experience through our own unique perspective, and this perspective is absolutely unique to each and every one of us. So just because somebody else is writing about a topic that you want to write about, that doesn’t exclude you because you can write about that topic in the way that only you can, because you are you and you’re not me, or Yaro, or anybody else!

This Extends to Any Blog, Any Market, Any Business, Any Concept

There is always room for one more blog on Internet Marketing or any market because you offer a unique perspective. There is always room for just one more busines, one more flower shop, one more utility company and so on. There is always room for one more book on a topic, or one more movie, or <insert anything you could possibly think of>.

There is ALWAYS room for more, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. If you have been holding back on doing something because you think it has already been done before, then recognise your own uniqueness and go ahead anyway!

In the words of Forrest Gump, “that’s all I have to say about that!”.
