So yes the title and picture for this blog post are of great significants. Today the wheels are turning in the office. I have some great ideas for DRN yet have another project in the works as well. Both of these are major projects and I am racking my brain at how to get them both done without having one cut into the other and or hurt the final goal. I have never been one for multi tasking, in fact I am somewhat obsessive compulsive with some topics which leads to a little ADD when dealing with them, in other words I can dwell on one part so much that the other parts never get completed. Then after everything I am left with a project that is ether half done and never public or one that is public but did not have 100% put into it, both of which are bad things to end up with. I am sure its just a matter of scheduling and time management but to follow is what I would like to start doing with DRN,
First I would love to keep doing videos 3 days per week but as I explained in my last video on the subject, I just don’t think that is realistic. Next I would love to start writing for the website again, the problem here is I am not a good writer but I am not sure if that helps or hurts the goal as doing something is always better than doing nothing. Basically with the plan I want to put in place it would include keeping the 3 day per week video schedule, writing news for the website again as well as posting daily links to original stories as I did yesterday.
I do know that one HUGE thing I spend time on during the day is on social networks and keeping a close eye on stats, I probably check stats 4 times per hours and on a normal day in the office probably spend 6 hours on the social networks. I absolutely love communicating with people in this hobby but I think managing my time on the networks would go a long way to helping with a little extra time to grow DRN into the power house that it COULD be in the reptile world.
I have screwed with the schedule so many times over the past year its not even funny. In the online free media world doing this would normally be the death of an idea, I have learned that people want to know exactly when and where they can see you and if that changes to much they just move away. The fact that DRN is still building a very string following speak volumes, trust me I have taken notice at how dedicated some of you guys are and it is that dedication that pushes me further and further off the edge of sanity and makes me want to really do something with this.
While I would love nothing more than to create a thriving business with DRN I must be very careful and keep in mind that this all started as a hobby for me, the production of shows and reptiles was like putting 2 loves together to create the ultimate orgasm if you will. I always had dreams but never imagined things would grow this big. Just in the past year things have started exploding, DRN is not the money pit that it once was and is actually slowly but surly bringing in money now.
I am really hoping some day DRN, you and myself can make a lasting impression on the reptile community and help pave the way for a prosperous and fun filled future for the members of the community.
