The Blog About Moe Arora And His Journey In The Music Business
Welcome to MakingTheMogul.com. It looks like you're new here. Please make sure to subscribe to my RSS feed and join me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!
One of my favourite sites online, Alltop.com, is known as a digital magazine rack for nearly any topic you can think of.
That’s the quickest way of explaining what it is, but for a more detailed explanation, read this post I wrote a while ago, or just watch this video:
As you are well aware, MakingTheMogul.com focuses on the business side of the music business; getting into the business, issues surrounding it, lessons learned, etc - and it’s offered through my personal perspective as I continue in my journey.
Thing is, I don’t update as much as I should.
I acknowledge that.
I’ve actually been speaking to a few fellow bloggers recently about that and have requested their own personal tips and suggestions on updating regularly. It’s not easy when you have a 24/7 work schedule. A REAL 24/7 work schedule, not a pretend schedule that’s primarily spent doing nothing (read: sh*t talkers).
Anyhow, I have a new goal I want to share with you: next week (October 13th -17th), I am committed to posting at least one new post per day. And yes, I said “at least”, so I may post more than once a day, but I might not. One post per day seems like a good goal for me. (I’m going to attempt to post often this week as well)
This might not seem like a big deal to some, but remember that this isn’t a news or gossip blog, so I don’t have to update daily. (I’m going to get a few phone calls and messages about that last comment, guaranteed)
I admit, I take advantage of that leniency though. I figure I’ll treat this like an exercise or diet plan -let others know about my plan and then stick to it so that I don’t break my word.
So there; I told you.
On that note, there’s certain things that I feel like sharing online, but they don’t really fit with the theme of MakingTheMogul. For that reason, I also have a “sidebar” blog, called moe’s art, where I just post up random things I find funny or post-worthy.
And as always, you can find me on Twitter.
Living in the Information Age is no easy task.
There is so much information out there, and with how resourceful sites like Google and Wikipedia are, it’s not about what you know; it’s about how fast you can get to know it.
You simply can’t afford to not know what’s going on. Being informed is having power; having access.
Forget about waiting for opportunity to knock on your door. When you have the right information, you have the master key to open any door you want.
That’s why it’s vital to stay informed of what’s going on and having easy access to that information.
My father is the type who wakes up early, grabs the morning paper, and reads the entire thing front to back; regardless of whether it’s of interest to him or not.
That’s a great trait, but that’s not me.
I’ll still read the world news and current events, but overall, I’m the type who wants to know about certain topics of interest and wants to see a whole lot of it laid out in front of me.
Subscribing to RSS feeds are usually pretty good for that, but the main problem I have with that is finding enough sites whose feeds I can subscribe to, so that I can get my fix.
And what if I don’t have enough time to filter through the entire net for new ones? I don’t want to miss out on anything.
Luckily, I keep my ear tuned into the tech world and heard about a site called Alltop.com that answers that problem.
Alltop is a site that collects all the top stories from all the top sites on the net and groups them together into organized categories. But it’s not just the top sites that are displayed. They also feature other sites that show promise and would be of interest to people who need more than they find on the better known sites.
Think of it like Amazon’s “If You Like This, You Might Like…” feature.
So, for example; if you’re looking for tips and articles to help you grow your blog, you’d go to blogging.alltop.com;or if you’re into new technology and gadgets, you’d go to gadgets.alltop.com.
Each of the categories or “alltopics” have a full and quick overview of all the recent headlines from the top sites in each category, plus a few promising upcomers.
I’ve been using the site since it first launched and have found it to be a really useful tool.
Like I said, I’m the kind of guy who wants a laid out summary of everything that’s going on and when I see something that catches my interest, I look more into it. That’s why I was pleased to find out about Alltop a few months back; it suits me perfectly.
Now if I can just find an assistant/intern who can offer me the same kind of service with work projects.
I’d highly recommend checking out Alltop.com and browsing through the categories to find what piques your interest. I have a couple of them bookmarked for daily reads.
As a matter of fact, MakingTheMogul.com was added to music.alltop.com and smallbusiness.alltop.com last night
