Turn That Computer Off And Get Out Into Your Community

by Steve Remington

There are ways to promote your blog and who you are when that computer is turned off. Unplug that thing and head out into the community. Go to shows, events, and just talk to people. Hand them a business card with contact information and your website link.

Another idea, is to submit editorials to local newspapers and talk about something that concerns you in what you are doing. Make sure to leave your name and drop your blog title. For instance, if I felt there was a lot of negative light being shed on the sport of hunting and I had an opinion, I could submit an editorial to my local newspaper and educate readers on the facts about hunting. Then at the end make sure to have them say:

Steve Remington
President/CEO
Skinny Moose Media

Try not to over do this. Maybe submitting an editorial once every month or every 2 months will do.

But show up to events, submit articles to local newspapers who are dying to get a story, take pictures, meet new people, and have a good time doing it. There is so much more you can do than sitting down at your computer each day and typing in a hunting or fishing tip, or telling how you caught that big fish back in the 60’s.

What else can you do offline? Can you think of anything?

How about go do an interview with a local resident. Maybe interview someone who owns a local gun shop or someone who is a Game Warden. Talk about the issues that matter. Snap a picture of you and them shaking hands. Why not bring your friend along to film it? Upload that puppy to YouTube and then embed it into your blog?

Let’s see… what else?
