Politically Correct – One Writer’s Paradigm

Posted by: admin on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Whether I’m blogging, social networking, or writing my next great novel… you’ll find I’m rarely Politically Correct. I find it amusing that so many people get side tracked from their life goals, trying to appease the multitudes. They’re not ALL going to read your work. In fact, no matter how hard you try to please them all, you’ll probably get no more than 5% of the relevant niche marketing share, no matter how hard you try. Any given niche holds a basic value, that value spreads itself among the mass media and holds on for dear life, attempting to maintain equitable top end interest without looking for any place else to spread their wings.

In English, you’ll get more by holding a tighter niche than you will by attempting to reach everyone.

In Katie Hines’ writer blog “Walking on Water” she prolifically comes across knowing all about writers, how to make a buck marketing as a writer and sharing her infinite knowledge of writing information for readers who write. Nothing difficult to understand there. She’s got it down, writes it well, and presents it to a basket full of writers who search for “writers”. Her paradigm may be small, but they frequent her website and hang out by providing interactive links and leaving messages.

That’s one blog… But what about other blogs? How can other people narrow their scope and focus in on a specific niche market?

Auntie Flamingo focuses on the broader aspect of Children’s poetry, writing and other stuff, to include a nexus of variety, scoping out the clutter to fixate on the  crux of options available to her marketing niche. So, the point of her blog is children’s poetry, and the opportunities for reading, because she markets books.

I didn’t find a reference to political interests in either of them, thus the politically correct positioning of their interests, allowing them to by-pass current political values and progress reports, to identify a less corrupt stature. However, I did find quantifiers for their interests and values within their writing styles that gave their efforts greater basking warmth without the politically correct paradigm of impending universal power.

Writers won’t admit it (we’d be crazy to admit we use the tricks), but words allow us to design our own destiny by alliterating implication.

Children v. Family

You know the schedule. Nights are for stories, reading to the kidlets and family time. We position our graphic designs to implicate a night time scenario and stand on the grounds that we’re family oriented to capture a specific audience. Use the word “children” often enough in your website to capture the search engines and lock onto the focus of children’s literature and you’ve got an infinite number of hits from the capsule crowd looking for new children’s stories to read to their young ones. Beat the family drum and you’ll hear mommies and daddies crooning to their babies in 3/4 time.  The waltz brings out the best in baby dreams and sleep patterns and parents everywhere will learn the dance.

Pages of Parenthood strikes a slightly different pose on the writing issue. Designed as a “note stop” for parents looking for a clue, Brenna Verhoeff  takes you through the trappings of youth and orients you in the political pitfalls and frailties of raising babies in an imperfect world. She adds insights from her own upbringing and insightful opinions on life in today’s world as a working single mom. Her views on pregnancy and re-parenting come through loud and clear, with a crashing resound of the mommy tiger perspective when her little ones are at risk. She cares, and it shows. Her audience isn’t writers, so much as it is readers. She believes she has something to say and doesn’t hesitate to share her passion on any topic.

Whether you choose to stray into the political realm or avoid the pitfalls of political doom, the reality is,  you must have an opinion on something, be passionate enough to share your opinion and realistic enough to capture an audience in your chosen niche. A burning radical perspective will give you a different niche, but the captured reader will continue to return because they like your style, your presentation, or your language. You can risk the farm on your political stance if you know there’s more than one who believes as you believe that a position is wrong, or needs to be voiced. Creating your own voice can become your position for blogging a paradigm uniquely your own and making it the niche you fill on the internet.

Politically correct, probably not. But who says you have to be?
