The title of this post no doubt gives you the impression that what follows is an explanation, however detailed, of what I intend to do with bryonsheffield.com. It is, in fact, not.

Instead, I will offer a recent Twitter conversation with @JustinKownacki as a hint into what I “might” do with this site. If you don’t know who Justin Kownacki is, jump out of a window or into traffic. Now.

OK, don’t do that. That is really dramatic and extremely wasteful. Unless you suck. In that case, go ahead and do it anyway. Either way, if you give a shit about internet marketing in general or blogging and social media in particular, Justin is worth paying attention to.

Without further adieu, the [brief] conversation:

So, there you go. Clear, huh? Good. The point is, I don’t really have any idea what I want to do with this domain. I could talk about all or none of: family, search engine optimization, video games, raising four boys (including twins), soccer, golf, social media, fantasy sports, entrepreneurship, education, and the list goes on. They are all things with which I have experience and varying levels of passion.

I just don’t know. And not knowing, for me, is enough to keep me silent here. Because if I do something, I aim to do it to the absolute best of my ability. And at present, I just don’t feel the driving motivation that brings me to my best. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I need to at least feel like I am aiming for perfect. Right now my aim sucks.

If you happen upon this and would like to leave a suggestion, please feel free. Or just leave a comment and tell me what you are thinking. Or let me know if there is something I can do to help you. While this site might not give you any idea about what I do (eventually, it will, I think), you can always find and connect with me on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Those social “outposts” should make it pretty clear what my professional focus is and what some of my personal interests are.

Of course, you are always welcome to check back here periodically to determine if I’ve gotten off my lazy ass and made something of myself, digitally speaking, of course.

EDIT: Based on Justin’s continued support, I’ve put together a quick poll to give you an idea of some of the things I *could* blog about. Use this if it helps. Of course, you are still welcome to freestyle in the comments. I’m paying attention.

NOTE: The site ViperChill, mentioned in Justin’s first comment, is the personal blog of Glen Allsopp and covers his approach to online marketing, specifically viral marketing. If these things interest you, you will be well served to check out ViperChill. Glen’s approach kicks ass.
