YOUR ONLINE PLATFORM … WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?

You have started a blog, joined social networks, and to your delight, discovered others seeing the world as you see it. You discover, sometimes quite by accident, that you've created a landmark and others look to you for guidance, info, products ... you've created a platform. A web-based arena, yours alone—it’s like you’ve a far-reaching microphone. Your platform lets you freely interact. You begin a movement, a wave of sharing awareness with power to reach across the street, state, country … the world. That power is only worthwhile if used well. Benefit others as well as yourself and your platform goes viral. One minute, you’re talking to yourself. The next, your platform broadcasts to people you never dreamed of reaching. Leverage it and move into new business, friends, skills.



We’ll let our guest, La Bartista—her "picture" shown here—tell you about her name. She's “a lifelong movie and TV nut buying and selling entertainment ephemera online.” It began as a hobby in the day of America Online message boards via an addiction to the classics and a desire to learn about her favorites. First it was Sherlock Holmes, and then the actor who played him, Jeremy Brett. Ultimately she’d created The Brettish Empire. La Bartista—the name a part of her platform—has since created websites and blogs, speaks at conventions, gets to know those close to stars of yesteryear, and is preparing a book on actor, Paul Richards.



Of her multiple sites, one of the newsest is a blog tribute to actor, Jack Kelly, The Tall Dark Stranger There.
