A new model is brought to your attention on what should be going through your head while building your blog. In short, it’s the ESC model but its similar to how supercars are built in the non-technical aspects. We’re not building blogs that are good enough for tomorrow. We’re building a blog like a supercar and if we aren’t we should be. So how is a supercar built?
Models are to be used merely as what they are called. You use them when and where you want to and can adjust them to how you see the model fit. Is the model perfect? No. Will be the model a good ground to start on? Yes. I’ve compared this model to igniting yourself to build your blog like a supercar. Here we go!
Origin of the ESC Model
Excel, Sublime, and Charge are three words that came right to my head when I was thinking about really wanting my upcoming blog launch to create a bang. A bang being lots of buzz that is little at first, but through time it gets bigger and is very well respected and always looked up to.
Yes, we should always be striving to stand out from the crowd, especially in a crowded niche. Even if we are not in a crowded niche, you should set out to create a trend, be unique, and always over-deliver.
The ESC model comes from my mind and I want to pass it onto yours. It’s merely a way to get thinking and focused on how to start building your blog that will keep people talking about it from today and tomorrow and the day after that, etc.
Yes, blogging could seem as a fad for time sake, but when the time comes to change or transform you’ll be ready to expand and adapt with the same principles set in place.
Excel
Definition: to surpass others or do extremely well
In other words, put in time and effort all the time. Just because you experience some sort of celebration, such as a traffic spike, don’t feel you should relax or slow down.
Why are you slacking or falling behind?
If you want your blog to excel you have to consistently put in the hard work or “sweat equity” like any other blogger or founder has done. Admire someone? Push to get to their level and don’t expect to wake up the next morning already there.
Supercars weren’t brought to their success overnight and in order to maintain that success they have to continue to do extremely well. You can start by excelling through dedication and effectively using the time you do have. When you start excelling everyday, people will talk about you, and you will be noticed. But, you have to show your hard work.
Sublime
Definition: elevated or lofty in thought
You’ve got your blog. It’s sitting there and you may have already created a community that you call yours.
But, why should this community continue to come and maybe tell others about your blog?
Here is where you need to begin thinking in a sublime way that still matches your blog’s purpose, your voice, and your niche. Andrew Henderson talked about how we should “corner the market” and go off the beaten path. This meaning that bloggers in a crowded niche such as “Make Money Online” or “Blogging Tips & Advice” need to be thinking of how they are going be different and create more attraction.
To begin this elevated or lofty in thought action, brainstorming is a good start.
These should be the same questions that you ask yourself with your blog
How do you think supercars got the “super”? Their creators and designers begin to think in a sublime way and they continue to stand out from the crowd. Now, specifically supercars are not in an overcrowded niche, but what would happen if they did not have any elevated or lofty thoughts? What makes one buy a Ferrari vs a Lamborghini or a Porshce that’s looking for a supercar?
Charge
(Also the Wrap-Up)
Definition: to load the mind
It’s your duty to complete the puzzle
Consider this the final piece to the puzzle or the model. Now, what I’ve just said won’t matter if you don’t have the charge. I could have put this first to highlight the importance, but the importance lies in that in order to make everything I just said work this charge needs to be present in you.
Loading your mind with new thoughts, different approaches, and wanting to surpass or do extremely well will get yourself building a better blog for today and tomorrow. Remember think like you’re building a supercar, more specifically your supercar.
What do you think about this analogy and these three words?
