So, I resigned from my job on Friday and that's really the first time I've ever done that when I wasn't going straight into another job. My boss and I "didn't see eye to eye" as they say, so I felt it was time to move on. The good news for you is that there may be more blog postings than my usual 1 every other year. Of course that doesn't count the Congo Letters blog I did, which was quite a lot of output actually, and had 160 views in the last month (who are these people?).
For the past several days, I've been thinking of what I'll do next and taking a mental inventory of my opportunities and assets.
Last night, while I was shaving my feet, I realized that I have 440 followers on Twitter. That's right - 440! If I could get each of these "followers" to send me $1, I'd have $440 - not really a life-changing amount but almost enough for a fun night out. The real trick would be to get each follower to send me $1,000 - $440,000 is some real money - that's what you really call "monetizing your social media." The key question: how could I persuade these people to send me that kind of money? Ultimately, I think that even if I were able to crack that nut, I'd feel bad 'cause there's really nothing I could do to really earn it from them. I wouldn't feel right about it.
I'll leave it on the list with "High" difficulty and "High" opportunity.
