Blog Analysis

As I was looking Cobus' blog, I saw a progression in the way he posted from his first entries to his last. From the start, he seemed to be very comfortable with blogging. He used it as a way to communicate with his followers and, like any good entrepreneur, advertise his merch. Even though I didn't much care for his sales pitches, the insight that he provides towards his life and his personal entries that go towards his fans are very sincere and give me a lot of perspective to a traveling drummer's life. Like I've been saying, I definitely think that his audience here is his fans. Sure, his mom or his agent might follow the blog but the material he puts out is aimed towards the people that love his drumming and follow him because of it. He posts pictures and stories from his life, mostly from when he travels and plays at different venues. His interests just seem to be keeping everyone up to date on his life (a recent post involved him going to the supermarket in America to buy groceries). He is very sincere and has posted many times that he hates asking people to buy his merchandise, because he's in it for the passion of drumming. I think that's one of the main reasons it's so appealing to me, and a lot of his fans.
