I want attention! Wait, no, I want respect! Wait, no, I want attention!

Posted Aug.04, 2011 under random

This is the cry of the Romanian blogger. For years he’s been begging for attention from the companies, and now that he has it, he does not know how to cope with it and how to deliver. Now he has made up his mind he does not want attention (press releases, party invites, product testing and placement), but respect.

The problem with respect is that 90% of them got where they are by just having a blog, without having something to say.

So, my question is simple: respect for what? What have you done? Do you have something important/relevant to say?

Don’t forget why you became successful

Posted Jun.08, 2011 under random

So you’ve become more successful that you thought possible. People recognize your skills and put you up on the good list. But you forgot how you got there. And for months now your blog had that traffic because you wrote good articles some years ago. But how long will those visitors keep coming back?

Not getting it

Posted Dec.30, 2010 under random

Four years ago, Razvan Varabiescu, head of an online agency, contacted me for an advertising campaign on blogs.

About online business in Romania

Posted Dec.17, 2009 under random

In Romania, we are used to people shouting as hard as they can about their success. They do this, they do that, they just opened a new interactive agency, they’ve just rolled a new amazing campaign…

Most of it is PR bullshit.

And the people who do stuff do not brag about it too much. Just a few lines in a blog post. Or a short minute at a beer. I don’t like to step into the light and talk too much about how i did this and that. I like to do. Those who want to know, they know. Those who care about the Romanian blogosphere know who i am and what i (can) do. The rest are just bystanders.

IFA, here i come!

Posted Aug.27, 2009 under random

I will be attending IFA in Berlin again.

On the 4th I will be at the Bloggers Forum in salon4/5, wearing a brown “no one cares about your blog” t-shirt. I hope it will be better than last year, because that one sucked. And I hope more time to play with gadgets.
