Yesterday I wrote a blog post entitled “How to make a blog stand out with brilliant blog posts”
Within that post, I spoke about sharing some stories about yourself to make your blog stand out and be different to all the other hundreds out there.
Last night I was talking with a client with regards to adding videos to blog posts.
The conversation and the blog post reminded me of a video a friend created of me a couple of years ago.
I’m not saying this is a brilliant blog post…but what talent do you have other than blogging?
Share yours in the comments below and let’s discover more about you. Anyone remember the name of the music being played?
Here’s my talent (by the way the domain name that appears is the name of my other blog):








Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
I
was impressed with the excellent service.
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business.
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
Hi, Andrew Rondeau here and this blog, my blog, will not lie to you. I will give it to you straight.This blog is about blogging, the Internet and sharing my experiences and advice on
I love your talent and I totally wish that I knew how to juggle! Amazing!
I love singing and reciting poetry.
I will have to post a video on my blog doing both.

Looking forward to that video!

haha! very clever, Andrew! I can only juggle two balls at one time.
I’ll share about my favorite martial art, jiu jitsu. I’ve been practicing for just over a year now. This weekend, one of legs on the chair I was sitting in unexpectedly gave way. You can imagine my surprise and concern. I managed to avoid smacking my head into the granite counter-top by tucking my chin, rolling forward and stretching out my left arm to “slap” the floor. We practice falling backwards in class. Amazing how talent in one area crosses over into other areas. Lucky for me, it’s become instinctive. Would have had a nasty injury otherwise.
Probably need to lay off the English toffee and other holiday goodies…seems to be causing a problem. lol!
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Wow, I would have just fell on my face!
We need to see a video of you doing some moves!
Andrew
I can juggle one ball. (Whatever is the physical equivalent to verbal illiteracy, I have it.)
My only real talent is getting to the core of something (a person’s problem, a set of ideas and stuff like that).
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Evan, I bet you have many more talents!
Andrew
Yay, another juggling blogger! I once managed to work juggling into a blog post – something about how learning to pass clubs was an example of a quantum leap in personal development. I think it’s always nice to show a bit of your personality, hobbies, and quirks now and then.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Hunter,
Thanks for dropping by. I wouldn’t say I’m a good juggler. I just taught myself once – off the back of a cereal packet!
And I agree showing a bit of personality does help.
Andrew
Hi, Andrew,
I liked your post very much and also your talent. Apart from blogging, I’m expert in the field of internet marketing and design field.
I love driving; I mean long driving, speedy driving is my passion. I generally go for long drive in Sunday.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Chris,
Driving! Speedy driving! Please, don’t create one of those videos when you are talking to the camera while driving.
Andrew
I juggled at one time, it’s been years though – up to 4 balls!
I’ll definitely be getting into some video blogging as well eventually.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Looking forward to those videos, Dennis. If anything like your writing – will be awesome and unique!
Andrew
It will be interesting at least. lol
talent? Play badminton and chess. Hehe..
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Good ones!
I play badminton each week with my left hand. I am right handed but a couple of years ago, I got a bit of ‘tennis elbow’ so decided to play left handed. It was really hard at first but now it’s almost as good as my right.
Andrew
If I’ve got any other talent other than managing my small blog, it would most definitely be singing. I do it a lot especially when I’m in the shower and I’m okay @ it. I think. lol

If I am not blogging, I am writing songs and do some singing practice. Sure, no one can survive blogging 24/7 even though they consider it as their talent. But, having some offsite activities like what I did to myself makes my mind refresh, relax and light.
I think blogging is not really pure talent since anyone can blog with minor supervision (though not anyone can sing, so it is considered a talent; check American Idol). The main question is, how do you blog your own talent?…is a much more appropriate question considering that the most effective ways to blog is sharing valuable information and most practically your own talent.

Any videos of you singing?
How do you blog your own talent? Write about it, podcast, video…it’s just blogging no? Some imagination is required.
