Reasons to Subscribe to ZAC

Consider this a shameless post to get you to subscribe to my blog. Many people aren’t even aware that one can subscribe to blogs. Like a newspaper? Yep, but free! And if you do keep on reading, you might decide that behind the shamelessness, the creative promiscuity and the provocations that shame doesn’t really enter into the equation of this project.

Why You Should Subscribe To My Blog

First things first, I write every single day. Consistency is crucial as many blogs are not taken seriously enough by their authors. They are hobbies and passions for all of us, but simply put, some of them too often let our blogs hang for days, even weeks, without an update. There are many reasons for this of course. Life gets in the way.

But for me, this blog is my life. It is one of the main motivators in my life. It is why I get up in the morning and it usually is the first and last thing I tend to every single day. I have a day job, and one that I am committed to. But if I could write all day every day, I would. As of now, that is not possible and for now, is probably isn’t desirable. I still need structure and space to involve myself in other activities. I believe I have found a way to effectively create compelling content from those other activities. In one form or another, everything comes back to the blog.

To explain a bit more, I have always been a writer. Always wanted to be a writer. I studied writing in high school and college. When I graduated, I surveyed the landscape and considered the prospects of writing for a living, and in a word, I was scared. I didn’t think I could do it. Too much struggle. Not enough chance for success.

This blog, and the ones I started and administered before it, saved my life. Really. After writing for ten years, I left it behind me and ventured into a completely different career. Mostly it was fear and cowardice. This blog is my apology. To myself.

What You’ll Get By Subscribing To My Blog

You will get a peek into one individuals life. One out of 5 billion. Whether you learn anything or not, whether you will be entertained, is not for me to say. Worse comes to worse, you can always unsubscribe. But there is something to be said to connecting with another person in this world, even someone we don’t personally know and might not ever meet. My blog is the tool with which I use most often to connect, on a deep level, with the people around me. It is where I investigate myself, my interests, my fears, failures and successes.

It is also where I talk about social media and the effects of this massively powerful set of tools and philosophies. I talk about my work consulting for businesses and brands. I talk about the difficulties that social media presents to companies. I believe there is wisdom in a targeted, unabashed look at the realities on the ground.

It is true I am building a business and that I use this blog partially as a marketing tool. That is the decision I have made, and I am OK with that. You may not be. I respect that. But I feel that I write often enough about more general ideas and feelings that there is something for everyone here.

There is something to be said to watching one person’s development and evolution. It puts in perspective all the general information we receive all day, every day. This blog is my story. It certainly is presumptuous of me to think you’d even be interested. One of the things that I have been exploring on this blog is my value. Like any other modern human being, I constantly question my value. I constantly question my goodness. I am so keenly aware of my faults, my failures, the things I don’t have, the things I want.

So if you are looking for an honest look into one person’s life. Here is your chance. I would love you to subscribe here. I don’t make money off this blog, I don’t have ads here so I don’t get anything directly from a higher number of subscribers. Indirectly, I gain the knowledge that more people are interested in me, in my life. That although I am but one person, I still have the ability and the desire to connect with my fellow human beings.

So here is what you do if you want to subscribe:
