Picture of me trying to carry the Porter's loadI dunno why i'm so enthu about my blog these few days... i guess the standard trend is that people are very enthusiastic about their blog during the initial stages and the posting rate goes down dramatically after. I guess it understandable for such things to happen... afterall this reflects the consumerism world that we're in afterall.
Due to successful marketing campaigns and advertisements, people convince themselves that a product / service is good and worth investing either your time / money in it. As most psychology / marketing students might know, during the initial stages right after the purchase / subscription, the consumer will experience post-decisional cognitive dissonance. To reduce this dissonance, what they do is to believe that the purchase is good / correct. This increases the rate at which the consumer utilizes the product / service during the intial stages. I guess its the same for the blogging then. Once you start, post-decisional cognitive dissonance sits in and you start to blog frequently. Over time, when the cognitive dissonance is slowly reduced, the blogging frequency also falls... I wonder whether my theory is correct.
Right, so far, the stuff i've blogged is still not related to the title of the blog. So what am I trying to get at? I've received some feedback that my blog is boring. Despite the fact that i had a disclaimer in my first entry that my blog might be boring, i've decided that i should take the initiative to ensure that my blog is kept interesting. Since my blog is for the sake of communicating with my friends, if my blog was uninteresting, i will not have any viewers. That means that I'm not communicating with anyone and that leads to me not achieving my aim of communicating. As such, i guess I have make my blog interesting.
Ok, let us try to understand why some blogs are interesting / attractive:
1) It contains provocative ideas (i.e. political, religious, sexual)
2) It contains pictures of pretty girls / (sexually) appealing pictures
3) The author is important to the readers (either as a friend, partner, leader, etc)
4) The blog presents opportunity for self gain for the reader (i.e. stock tips, research purposes, etc)
Anyway, i realize this is very similar to the SMUX portal situation. How to get more people to talk on the portal? Similarly, how to make sure my friends read and thus we can communicate? hmmm...
Now, let me see... which of the above methods should I adopt? I guess i'll work on all 4. I make sure i make controversial statements in my blog posts (i suspect some people dun believe that i'll ever make such statements since i'm so politically correct... haha). I should make sure i have appealing pictures (probably not sexually). Here and there i might give stock tips (but please dun believe me) and last but not least, i will hope that you guys think that i'm important enuff a friend.
I'll start today's post by posting more pictures of my recently concluded Island Peak / EBC Expedition. I really like these photos.
