You may have deduced from my lack of posts over the past few weeks that I had nothing to say.
That would be wrong.
Rather, I’ve simply been afraid of saying it.
Well, after spending most of the day laying on the couch nursing a headache (the caffeine-laced “Headache Relief” pills and a glass of water finally knocked it out), I’m cranky enough to start spilling it.
By way of re-introduction, please know that I write about what I know, what I’ve experienced. If you’re looking for the typical “you’re here to serve, and give before you receive” marketing blog, go read Seth Godin. He’s a better writer anyway. If you’re looking for the “seven easy steps to building your marketing empire,” go read one of the IM gurus like Rich Schefren or, better yet, John Reese when he gets around to actually writing something. Although a bit of all that stuff is part of my experience, I’m not here for that.
This site is generally about Internet Marketing and other stuff and how it relates to my life. In other words, it’s about me. But not really.
Speaking of that, if the whole “Matt Gordon: The Official Website” thing didn’t strike you as at least a little bit icky, this site may not be for you, either. It was a dig at all the pompous, self-centered sites (especially blogs) I see around the Internet these days, but nobody got the joke. Probably my fault, but I think it’s sad that everyone seems to swallow that much arrogance without even blinking these days.
So, yeah, you got it: this isn’t your standard “sit around drinking steamed milk or whatever that crap is” marketing blog. I’d like to think it’s a bit more authentic than that. I’ll do my best to keep it that way. Enjoy the ride!
Or don’t.
I’ll be back soon with a post that’s actually about something. See you then.
