I decided to submit my blog to BloggersCompete.com so I could enter blogging competitions. I was really excited to read the confirmation email from the owner of BloggerCompete, my blog was accepted! Accepting a blog like mine is rare, since they usually feature technology and marketing blogs. I am grateful, thank you.
The contest I'm entering in is called "5 ways ______ is like ______."
Here are the official rules:
"Replace the first blank with anything you want and replace the second blank with either blogging or something related to blogging/entrepreneurship/SEO/SEM/internet marketing/affiliate marketing."
"Winner will be determined on a point system. A score will be given out of 50 for the quality of the post and that will result in points. For example a 40/50 will result in 40 points. Each Facebook like, tweet and +1 gives you a point each. Every comment on your post gives you 1 point each. The entry with the highest number of points will win this contest."
I've chosen to write about my methods of becoming a blogger using strategic planning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5 ways strategic planning is like blogging.
1. The intent (plan) of any good blogging site is to communicate a specific topic.
2. The writer for the “Jackie” blog designs the daily/weekly post in a strategic manor to meet the objective (plan).
3. The various articles and photos are purposefully chosen to accentuate the communication plan for the specific topic.
4. The writer for the “Jackie” blog strategically researches the Interwebs to document objective facts that can be utilized to support and produce subjective opinions; which result in open communication via comments and feedback from the blog site fan-base.
5. The writer’s intent (plan) for this social media blogging site is to communicate satire and humor for the purpose of entertainment.
Professional Bloggers must never take negative comments seriously. Blogging is mainly for fun and to be entertaining. If one is able to write a successful blog, generate thousands if not millions of views and possibly make some money off of it - that's something to be proud of; especially if the character blog is filled with satire, sarcasm and everything humorous - it's for the lulz, as they say. The next step of my blog would be some kind of web series portraying my character "Jackie", I hope to achieve that goal one day. Becoming a YouTube personality is very difficult, as online viewers are extremely fickle. Online celebritdom is fleeting to say the least, but establishing a website or blog is a medium to promote an individual brand strategy.

Sincerely,
The Creater of Jackie At The Mall
