Today I wanted to give you an update on the first idea I decided to launch from this blog (incubator). I say incubator because the act of writing here has furthered my effort to come up with ideas to launch.
But I can't do it all. So, for now, I write here when I can. Allowing Tim's Strategy to be the focus. If Tim's Strategy can become a valuable tool for job seekers, I'd love to take another idea and do the same.
Isn't that what entrepreneurs dream of? Multiple ideas that find favor with the market?
What are you doing with your ideas?
I think the best ideas grow organically. Lots of people telling lots of other people about what they found. And then you build on the idea so it adds even more value. Mix in social media and you get something special. Potentially.
So here's an update on Tim's Strategy. After 10 months of writing, building tools, networking and sharing ideas, here are the stats:
Blog average page views per day ~ 600
Website average page views per day ~ 200
Linkedin group members ~ 814
Blog feed sign-ups ~ 436
Blog e-mail update sign-ups ~ 194
Twitter followers ~ 674
Successful? Well, it's a start!
Here's today's post from Tim's Strategy. You might enjoy it if you are wondering whether Twitter is for you . . .
Now, of course, those are just numbers up above. Only one way to measure success. What I love the most is the helping power of this idea. People are out of work. Need help. And it turns out that my ideas, delivered from the perspective of a hiring manager and a former job seeker, are really helping people.
That feels great. And while I try to do some promotion of Tim's Strategy, most of my growth is coming from word of mouth. People sharing something that helped them. With others in need.
What's coming next from Tim's Strategy? A brand new website! I am very excited to take this idea to the next level and provide some real substantial value to job seekers.
But it has been a lot of work. Pulling your idea out of the bottom drawer, blowing the dust off and introducing it to the world is not easy. But, boy does it feel good!
Have an idea you'd like to share? Let me know. Happy to provide a blank canvas where you can introduce YOUR ideas to the world. If interested, comment below. I'll walk you through it!
