I bought my domain a full seven months before launching this blog. You see, I had a slight dilemma to solve before putting pen to paper, digitally speaking.
At first I thought I should pick a topic to blog about and create a niche for myself. The trouble with that arose when I thought about how many other, more well-established (ok, established… at all) blogs were already out there on almost every topic imaginable.
I did a few searches on topics I thought I could create enough content to blog about, and quickly came to the conclusion that my assumption was completely correct, there were tons of blogs already created.
So then I started thinking that the blog should be about me. This topic had a few attractions.
- I was really interested in me
- I would always have something to write about without the limits of a “niche”
- Did I mention the blog would be about me?
- I’m a pretty interesting person, so the blog would surely be entertaining
It was settled. Screw a “niche”. The blog would be about me, me and more me.
That, naturally, brought up the easiest of easy questions to answer…. Who Am I?
Well.. I am…
Hm.
I’m……
Hmm…
I’m a girl – slightly shorter than average – whose world tends to revolve around music, family and friends, traveling, digital marketing, sleeping in and devouring books like the world is running out of paper.
About that whole music and digital marketing thing… see, the funny thing was, is that those were the topics I originally wanted to write about in this very blog.
It seems I’ve come full circle.
Officially, this blog is about music and digital marketing. More specifically, how digital marketing has influenced music, and how the industry is (or isn’t) adapting to the new landscape. Unofficially it will feature many posts about music and digital marketing, and a few more about random topics.
Please a comment and introduce yourself. I’d like to get to know my readers!

Welcome to the blogging world, Katie!
Welcome to the blogging world, Katie!
congrats on your launch! bon voyage on your blogging journey. adding you to my blog roll…
Glad to have you as a reader, Kevin. I'm sure many of the topics we've discussed previously will be making headlines here.
Hey, John! Hope you're doing well in London. It's a shame my trip in August didn't work out… I was looking forward to seeing you and crew!
Perhaps I'm letting my true colors show after moving from the private to the public blogging arena
.
Thank for the congrats, and I'm looking forward to seeing you next month! I'm thinking another lunch may be due.
Thanks, Jay.
Thanks for your well wishes, Jason. I'm beginning to think it's something in the water with you Charlotte people. @wuori is fond of calling me Miss Katie Emo, and now you mention Candi D. Katie… hm!
Please link me to your podcast when it launches, I'd love to subscribe!
I didn't really even consider blogspot when I began the process of launching this blog, to be honest. I figured that if I was going to launch one, I should go “all out”. Plus I don't really like their formatting options. I'm still playing around with this one so expect some possible re-designs.
Hi K M. Im looking forward to “listening” more.
Podgy man in London here

Love it. “I was really interested in me”
I read it as Candi D. Katie at first.
On the music topic. I am getting ready to launch a personal podcast and have been reaching out to bands I like to ask them for permission to use their tracks. So far, the first few have all said sure and a dozen or so groups volunteered their stuff through Twitter. Very happy to see the good response.
Good luck with the blog KatieMo.
Yay! Another WordPress blog, I think this really is the hint that I suppose to switch from blogspot, meanwhile, I am writing myself a brand new blog on the rival site… hmmm… one way or the other, I am glad to see tweeps and friends to expand their view away from twitter and f.book!
Well, I guess my blog reading list will continue to grow! at long as my time will allow!
