I think the key here is:

1. Even though you may be focusing your efforts on reaching an audience within on niche each platform will acquire slightly different groups all within that same niche.

2. Brand is about consistency. If you can keep you thoughts, information, instructions etc. all continuous across all platforms so that when someone follows your profile through twitter to your blog to your Google+ profile they will find a stream of constant information all resounding each other.

3. While you will be sharing very similar information you will be exposed to slightly different information from each platform. To be comprehensively informed and continue growth as an expert you must utilize all opportunities.

I’ve always been wary of spreading too thin, but you make a great point. I’ve been zeroing on Twitter alone, and thinking about it, I really should focus my efforts on publishing on all fronts.

Owning your TRAFFIC is the key to success, and analytics pave the path for creating loyal consumers. But even more important, are the analytics derived from a social “community”, and we haven’t even barely touched the surface on understanding social graphs. Keep in touch!

Your insights convey a motivating message especially with the personal branding opportunities the digital age provides: Owning the Means of Production.

Page 24 of Seth Godin’s book, Linchpin: “Today the means of production = a laptop computer with Internet connectivity. Three thousand dollars buys a worker an entire factory.”

Today, individuals have the opportunity to be media companies. Look at the media brand and community created and nurtured here at The Future Buzz. And, your future plans to propel this media brand and community to a new level are way cool.

Owning your domain, creating compelling content, and building community are available on a broad scale. If we create work that helps others, people will find it and share it on their favorite platforms (current / future).

Isn’t it exciting and motivating to be part of all this!
