So what do you think about this blog?
The truth is that I’m actively running 2 other blogs, and 2 other that are dormant. I just wonder if it makes sense to carry on. (I’m on a bad mood day).
Not sure if I ever told you something about me. Here we go (copy paste from an e-mail I’ve sent Mr. Motorcycle a while ago:
“I do have a couple of business blogs - I discovered them to be an excellent self branding tool for my professional life (besides founding my PR company, I’m also a marketing manager at a big IT company here in Romania). Here are the links for my business blogs (maybe you want to know more about me: www.energybyte.com/blog and www.entrepreneur-interviews.com).
Beside my 2 jobs (marketing stuff and PR stuff), the 2 business blogs, I do have 2 Hondas, for which I’ve made 2 sites: www.cbf600s.com and www.honda-cb750.org and started the Honda Motorcycle Blog a while ago. The Honda Motorcycle blog never got any attention from my side, I hardly wrote anything before April.
Probably being some kind of internet junkie, combined with the pleasure of reading stories about rides and seeing pictures, I’ve decided that I want to be in this small but friendly group of motorcycle bloggers (having the Honda sites for a while already put me in contact with bikers, so I knew the feeling) and to do that, I needed to jumpstart the blog. Also, I’ve always had a bad time remembering the bikers blogs that I wanted to read from time to time. My business blogs have been selected in various tops since I’ve started them, so I knew making a Top on an uncharted niche would be nice (and help my ego as well) .”
The sad part is that I never have time to ride as much as I want. And I’m just wondering if the Honda Motorcycles blog really makes me happier.
It doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks about your blog as long as you enjoy writing it. Sure, it’s nice to have participation from others, and you seem to be getting that now.
For whatever it’s worth, even though my first bike was a Honda, I have no interest in them anymore. I’m 100% Harley-Davidson. Yet, here I am reading and commenting on your Honda blog. The interviews you’ve been doing are great, and there are plenty of bloggers out there who you haven’t talked to yet. It’s up to you how far you want to take it.
As far as not having “time to ride” goes, that’s a statement I just can’t relate to. Forgive me, but in America the word I equate to that is “bullshit.” I believe if you’re really passionate about riding, you’ll make time to ride. That’s just what bikers do.
In my humble opinion.
Cristian,
I read your blog. I have it in my google reader. When you update, I read it. I enjoy the interactivity of reading others blogs, and writing my own blog. I don’t have much tome to read books and such, but I really enjoy the blog world, and you are part of it now. If it is not what you want to do, that is your choice. If you keep it up, I know you’ve made enough friends out there who will continue to read and support yours.
Keep the shiny side up!
Your blog is your blog. It’s up to you weather or not you want to continue. I for one am enjoying your interviews.
I love to ride and really enjoy blogging. There are times when I can’t blog as much as I like, but I have learned to enjoy it when I can and not get stressed out when I can’t. I only recently found your blog, but enjoy what you post. The interviews are a nice touch.
