I'm Not Going to Discuss Social Media

I'm not going to discuss social media in this post. What can be said has been said a thousand times over by every person who fancies themselves an expert in the field. I won't talk about marketing either. Anything you really need to know about either subject, you can just Google or watch on Youtube.

Here is what I will say. If you need an expert, find out who the experts are. Look at their work.

Are they doing for themselves what they claim they can do for you?

Are you, as a client, getting a one-size-fits-all solution?

Are you being sold a product rather than a tailored solution?

Are you paying for expertise or outsourcing? A big clue is, are they showing you how to fish, or giving you the fish?

Do they help you understand what you're getting into? There's always "more to it than that".

Do they make any attempt to dissuade you? You might be expecting something that can't be delivered by what they offer.

Most importantly, if you don't understand what's going on, take your time. Make sure you understand the basics of what you are doing. A sure way to lose money on an investment is to not know what you're doing. Ask your expert to explain it to you as many times as you need to understand what you are getting in return for your money.

Finally, don't rule out putting some skin in the game. Some things simply cannot be outsourced, especially if your business is complex and technical.

That's all I'm saying.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...

2024 NaPodPoMo Ep 5 - Let’s Be Real About CRO

In this episode of National Podcast Post Month, I'm taking a closer look at the recent announcements from Crypto.com and their potential impact on the price of CRO. While there's been a lot of excitement about the new developments, I'm not convinced that they will translate into a significant price increase. I'll be discussing the following topics: The recent AMA with Kris Marszalek The launch of the ZK EVM chain The popularity of the Crypto.com debit card The importance of market volatility The role of FOMO in driving up prices I'll also be sharing my thoughts on why I don't think the price of CRO will jump to a dollar anytime soon.
