Rep'n fringe biz, culture, insights, politrix & indie hustle... Like most I’m sure, the idea of it seemed a little strange. Nope. There’s no need for another one.
y the power of words, and what the right combination of words and ideas can do. The change, that can be instigated when well thought out concepts are put out there for the public to consume. 24-hour news channels, newspapers, even news sites, don’t just report the news anymore. They spin and twist their own views in with the news of the day. “Should I start a news blog”? There’s enough news blogs out there. So, maybe I should start a gossip blog, with the juicy dirt of the day about some movie or rock star? Nope, but I did read an article about blogging that helped me decide what to blog or write about. The article said that you should blog about subjects that are near and dear to you. The article went on to suggest that I niche’ my blog subject matter, so that I could build a loyal and viral following inside that niche. That’s when it hit me; I love talking too, helping build, and advising innovative business people, with innovative business ideas. I love when someone comes up with a new twist on an old idea, and is looking to parlay that twist into a new independent or “below the radar” business. The type of business does not matter as much as the cutting edge way it’s being developed nurtured and marketed to the masses. Eureka!!! That’s what I’ll blog about. Now, what about a name for my blog? THE OFFICIAL POST, is the name, and let me tell you about our game. T.O.P. (get it?) will give a voice to independent musicians/artists and record labels who aren’t noticed by larger more established mainstream publications. We talk to and shine a spotlight on small mom and pop home based businesses and on the ever-growing Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) trend and we will expose micro businesses before the national, international notoriety, and the money. We research and embrace all forms of business. For the new music business, we will develop our own charting system to let the public know who is making noise in their respective genre and for small businesses; we are developing an “small business power list”, to show who is making moves in their chosen fields. There will be some lifestyle pieces. There will be some discussion of the political topics of the day, and there will be other special interest pieces mixed in, but we will keep much of our focus on our core, and continue to be a light for the smart innovative and “just under the radar” business and artistic minds out there. We at T.O.P. are, for the moment, focusing on the digital version of this movement. Our founder is a great believer in the “Do It Yourself” (DIY) philosophy that is taking over so many industries and subcultures. There are no printing presses or massive staffs or any of the trappings of traditional print media. (Not a slight, just a fact)
There will be interviews, with up and coming record producers, artist, comedians, models and modeling agencies, real estate brokers, club owners, etc. There will be in-depth interviews with up and coming moguls. Independent minded moguls who believe in using what is readily available to them to create interest in their respective brands. Please read our interview with Khali, an independent rapper who is hard at work, building his following. His skill is only matched by his hunger to feed the masses his brand of music. Next to be interviewed will be an up and coming Little Rock based record producer, a Louisiana based music mogul in the making, and a list of the hottest independent artists/labels in the social media sphere. Come aboard for a unique experience. Don’t come late to the movement. Contact:
