Steve Mills - Online Entrepreuership with the SPOKE system

Vibrant and alive and full of purpose

I have spent the last few weeks locked into a battle between me and some troublesome code. I am getting the online directory up online for the revamped Livingnow.com.au website, and it has been giving me a few issues. But through perseverance I can see the light at the end of the development tunnel, and can now start to focus on getting some new interesting projects on the go, including a new social bookmarking site, and another cracking idea for a new form of social network which is in collaboration with the excellent Seamus Ennis.

I have also been thinking over the past week (through a code induced haze) that this site is going to be a central asset to the success of these and other projects, as I want to use it as a central hub to introduce people that I meet on my real life and digital travels to all of my projects. The development of a personal brand is one of the most important things that we as blog reading, digital literate people can do.

If you are in anyway half serious about getting your work out there or if (more importantly I think) that you have new and original ideas then get yourself a personal blog. Make it the focus point of all of your online efforts, a hub where people can find out about you and your work. Put it all up there, your social media profiles, your writing, links to your work, links to things you are selling. Give people handles that they can grab onto you and connect with you.

On Rebel Zen, Seamus and I  are always talking about letting your “real self” shine through, and that is where you should be headed with your macro and micro blogging efforts. Show us more of the real you, and you will make your online efforts vibrant and alive and full of purpose.

The Digital Integration of Steve Mills

Hi all and welcome to another bi-annual 180 degree turn of direction here on Steven-Mils.com

This blog is going to slowly evolve from what it is currently ( a half arsed internet business blog that gets updated twice a month if it is lucky) to a regularly updated notebook of my thoughts, a showcase of my writing and music, and a central reference point for all of my online projects.

Basically what you are going to get on here is the following :

• My daily musings on what I find interesting.
• Links to my new music and writing projects on the web.
• Longer writing pieces about music, art, social media, information, quantum physics and other science, sociology, evolution, the nature of reality, human society, the universe and just plain weirdness.

Why such diverse and wide ranging topics you might ask? In addition to being topics that I have a huge interest in, I am endeavoring to throw out a large “Datanet”, that is to attract as much organic search engine traffic as I can. If you come here via a Google search, Welcome! The strategy must have worked, so please have a look around while you are hear, and not just be another “bounce”.
Oh and just to give you a small idea of where else this may all be going, here is a link to something I used to have on here that was quite popular.
Proof that Google is God. The scary thing is they make a very good point.

Also, If you want to read about personal development and other issues of the self, please go over to the excellent Rebel Zen to read my and the ever fantastic Seamus Anthony Ennis’ writing over there. It’s well worth the click I assure you.
