The Last Photo

I went to a funeral last Friday: my cousin, 46 years old. Sad, very sad. In the viewing room the family set up a collage of photos throughout his life. In the bottom right hand corner was a photo of my Great Grandmother. I have never before seen a photo of her and I had also never heard her name spoken out loud. There it was, the photo of the person who gave birth to my Grandfather. If not for her in this world I would not be standing in this funeral home.

This photo got me thinking about the last time a photo will be shown of you. Is this your last death? When will the memory of you fade away to the point that nobody puts out a photo of you anymore?

How Do You Get To Be Known?

I have been involved in lots of SEO conversations lately. I find the topic to be boring & interesting??? I come from the marketing philosophy of earn your audience.

Below is the list of "The How & Why” of my blog.

Be interesting, very interesting.

Be a constant creator, daily.

Know whom you are creating for.

Know why you are creating (for yourself, for reaction, as a resource…understand the why of what you do).

It’s a short list, but true. I love creating content, daily. I hope you enjoy it.

So what about you? How do you get to be known?
