I
love critics. Want to know why? I don’t have to try and change their
mind. Critics are going to criticize and
that is just the way the world works. If
critics will be critics no matter what, then I can move on down the road and
appeal to those who already follow me, like me and want more of what I do.
Seth
Godin has helped me immensely with this idea.
Here is his direct quote:
“Unsubscribers and critics are a gift. They save you the job of working out who your
target audience is. Not everyone is
going to love your widget, program or writing content.” And, I might
add, neither will they like your church, song choice, clothes, shoes, spices on
your enchiladas, and your lasagna recipe.
I
do not have as a stated goal to “win the world over to like my blogs.” If I did, I’d write a little bit of this philosophy,
that ideology and yet another slant or philosophy in every post and in the end
would never reach anyone.
I am all about finding my
niche and the people who appreciate that niche.
It is to that group of individuals to whom I write.
Sorry
to lose the rest of you.
Now,
what is your hook? Find your tribe and
make it work.
