Stop Trying To Niche Me

My life is not a set niche why should my blog be any different?

Stop trying to niche me, I am Multifaceted. Target's sales come from many different kinds of products. Kroger sells more than groceries. Even libraries provide the public with more than just books.

You have to grow, expand and change things to stay up-to-date on what interests people.

I allowed myself to feel pressured into the series, even though I genuinely did not want to write so many posts on one subject, one after another. At the time of this post I have been unsuccessful with completing the series. Simply because someone has a lot of knowledge about something does not mean they want to write about it. Again and again.

What I wanted to do was write a post or two and be done with it. As a whole I hated the process and that series is still sitting there mocking me with its half written posts. Like an unmailed anniversary card sitting in a box, at the top of my closet, with all it's brother and sister cards and letters, I forgot to mail in time.

    The goal of any good screenwriter, or any writer really, is to grab the reader's attention and keep it until the end. Your goal for your blog should be exactly the same.

    Finally, I thought that the way the book was formatted was excellent. It really gave you a good idea of the different steps in the process, although I feel like that if it was a little shorter it would be better. I say this because even though the author explained herself in a great and detailed way, it was very long. Sometimes when I was reading, I got a little bored and wanted to move to the next event in the…

    Target is the third biggest discount retailer in the US behind the largest retailer and major rival Walmart. According to Sides, Walmart outperforms target because it is an international organization, which operates in places like Mexico, Europe, and Canada while Target is restricted to the US. The second aspect that Walmart beats Target in the retail industry is that Walmart has established a presence in the grocery sector, which is far much better and bigger than the one run by Target.

This aspect gives Walmart the advantage of operating more hypermarkets as compared to Target Corporation.…

    Managing for competitive advantage was a struggle for the Target Company. They could not keep up with or stay ahead of the competition. Target’s competition excited customers with great discounts, new “hot off of the shelf” items, and free shipping. Bright colored websites and creativity interested the customers and made them feel like their money was being well spent. Because of the lagging in this area in the stores, the competition such as Amazon managed to persuade Target customers to take advantage of the online sales. Target did not realize how much the worldwide web was on the move as fast as it was.…

    The creation and use of social media has, for better or worse, become one of the defining characteristics of Generation-Z, or the Millennials.

Those are significant numbers, and those numbers correlate to a larger shift in the way we communicate with each other and in the way we participate and create our culture and our entertainment. Users are now far more capable to participate in the creation and production of things than they used to be.…
