Since its launch over four years ago, Tumblr has watched its growth rates soar. According to the Greylock Partners, Tumblr generates 13 billion pageviews each month. What’s more, the company is closing in on 30 million blogs, and has seen over 45 million posts added to the site today alone. Recently, Tumblr announced that it reached 10 billion posts since its inception.Nielsen earlier this month helped shed even more light on Tumblr’s growth, saying that the company “is an emerging player in social media.” In the past year alone, Nielsen says, Tumblr has nearly tripled its “audience.”

I’m starting to really like some of the things Tumblr can do for creating content, and community while building your blog, and brand…..right out of the box.

The “Ask Me” feature and user generated content tools (simply by enabling Submissions) are really great ways to get people bonded with your blog, and invested in your content and community, and don’t really require any additional premium plugins as well. 

And the inherent social nature of Tumblr is a pretty powerful way of getting your message out to the market……..and potentially far more quickly than a more traditional blog.

If you are working on using The Content Community Continuum in your business…..Tumblr is a great platform to take a look at, especially if your budget is low and your tech experience limited. 

(i’m using it for a new project, really for the first time on a larger level…..and really enjoying some of the advantages that are fun, easy to use and great for connecting with others in your extended community, and pretty quickly to boot!)

WARNING: The #1 Reason People WILL Unsubscribe From Your List That the “Guru’s” Will Never Tell You

If you said “Bed English” you’d be right.

No one wants to get email messages from someone who’s English is Bed.

In some ways, Bed English is the biggest blight on your blog, your brand, and your business that there is.

And to be honest with you, while I’ve never been one to be good with constructive critisizm (which I clearly can’t even spell, let alone hear) – I have a ZERO tolerance for bed english in my own inbox, so I look at unsubscribes like this one as an opportunity to grow and get better – and to take my own game up a notch or two.

Whatever happened to the band, Bed English anyway?

Weren’t they sort of like one of those new wave invasion bands in the mid 80′s, sort like a Flock of Seagulls with better haircuts?

Probably all working at BAD, Bath and Beyond these days.

Lots of Rockstars move on to retail after the ride is up.

Which in the context of my last two weeks of work, doesn’t sound like such a bad option after all.

An Attitude of Gratitude

This is such a great innovative, inspiring and AWESOME idea on so many levels……I absolutely love it.

Regardless of who we are, where we’ve been and where we want to end up, being genuinely GRATEFUL for what we’ve got is often the easiest way to understand that sometimes, life sort of gives you what you need to get where you’re going, even if it’s not abundantly evident in the moment.

I say that being a toe tapping, line hating, disruption loathing, impatient and often immature enemy of the unexpected.

But spending the last 15 minutes reading the eloquence of equanimity – and an attitude of authentic gratitude, I feel transformed into an ambassador of patience and understanding…;-)
