The First Habit 2 Success

Consistency

     "To be consistent, or not to be consistent, THAT is the question".

      The answer is always, always, always be consistent.  One of the traits that I love about a good blogger is I can always expect to hear from them on a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly basis.  Although I normally like to get fresh content from a blogger not later than weekly, if I'm really interested in a particular blog, AND the information the writer is presenting is interesting enough I will hang around for 30 days to hear what the writer has to say.

      Now, another lesson for another day is "What is a blog and how should I use it"?  Right now I'm going to assume you know what a blog is and how to use one.  First and and foremost it is important to establish a timeframe where your readers can expect the new information from you.  One successful internet personality who I anxiously await to hear from is a Vlogger Named Ray William Johnson.

      Ray William Johnson is one of the most viewed channels on the YouTube search engine.  Is he a thought leader?  Is he the foremost expert in his field?  Does he even have a degree in what has made him successful?  The answer is a big fat NO.  He isn't anything special.  He's just a regular dude who stands in front of a corner filled with comic book pages, and he talks about the top 3 most popular internet videos fro the week. But he does it with humor.

      For those of you who love mathematical formulas that has been tried and tested throughout the ages here it is:

Funny = Money

     So Ray William Johnson has the gift of making people laugh in sort of a respectful edgy way.  His humor can be off color, but overall he keeps the vulgar to a minimum.  Now, your asking "Chris why all of this preparation, you haven't talked about why he's consistent yet".  You are right.  So here is it.

      Ray's show follows a pattern.  He does three things in nearly every video.
          1. Starts off with a funny video and makes some jokes about it
          2. Makes jokes about the second video he reviews and then moves onto the third.
          3. After making jokes on the third he usually ties the jokes of the third to one of the previous jokes he made from one of the first two.
          4. Always ends his show with the same phrase

      I love watching his v log because i know the pattern he used and I can expect to see the content published every monday and thursday.   To finish that point, Ray has well over a million subscribers!

     So remember BE CONSISTENT!
