Hello Millennial Boomers! I hope you’ve had a happy day. Mine was great considering all day yesterday I thought it was Thursday. I sent out my Thursday emails and everything. Only found out I had it wrong when I sat down to emails this morning and realized it was still Thursday. I’m not really sure if that was an actual ‘Senior Moment’, or a lapse in focus from too many emails. Either way, I made it through the day with all my emails and started planning for tomorrow.
Now that I have the bones in place, I need to flesh out this blog. That’s where you come in. I need help making this a fun place to spend a bit of time. I will learn about adding pages and cool formatting and such. But first, I would like to know what you’d find interesting.
Here’s my ideas:
Share random stories that highlight the fun and folly of getting older in a younger world. work, family, friends, finances, health
Discuss age-related topics in a respectful, uplifting way.
Share old-timey pictures of fun stuff people don’t do anymore.
Links to stuff that is interesting – your ideas here.
The truth is, I could ramble on and on about nothing for a looong time. In fact, I might do that sometimes. But I also have to ask myself, “What would Oprah do?” I’m not exactly sure because I don’t really follow Oprah, but I think she would tell me to do what I love, celebrate who I am, focus on where I want to be and get going.
With that sentiment, I am going to continue like it’s Thursday and focus on this blog until I get it right!
Leave your ideas in the comments please!
Love it! All of it 😀 I also get struck with a case of “it’s the wrong day” from time to time…!
All of your ideas sound good to me. I say just continue to wing it and write about whatever you are feeling in the moment. Personally, I like the surprise of not knowing what the topic will be.
Yep, all of the above.
Obviously the main theme of the blog is to discuss what it is like being a Baby Boomer in a Millennial world, so that should be the main topic. The other stuff can be used to add variety and keep the blog entertaining.
Have a main theme and take your audience along for the journey. Have fun and share what you are learning along the way. If you find something interesting, then others will find it interesting.
Stick to your main theme but also allow some flexibility and room for play and spontaneity. Just try to have some sort of structure and don’t get totally off topic or be super random. Awesome you are getting your audience involved and asking their input. You are the driver, however. It can be extremely difficult to try to read people’s minds and determine what will make people happy. People always seem to connect with someone genuinely trying to find their way, though.
You can also create a blog roll and tag certain types of posts if you find a certain “recipe” that works
