Taking ideas

[CuongNhuka]

Before I start: this is not advertising.

That said, I've started a 'self defense' blog. After reading the link in my sig (it's not nessicarily 'self defense' and reading the entry I've made should explain what I mean), does anyone have any ideas for articles I could do along the lines I'm going for? I have some ideas, but would like some more.

Thank you.

With Halloween coming up some safety tips for kids/parents might not be a bad idea.

Maybe a running list of the latest scams, the kind you find on CL, ebay and in the in-boxes of senior citizens...

Is that along the lines of what you were thinking?

I would start off with a background post. Something listing your qualifications, background, and history can go a long way toward why people should listen to you versus some other guy. Since this is the internet and anyone can get out there and post their opinion, before you start talking about these things, it is important for people to know why you have the answer.

If you're going to make claims and statements -- take the time to research them. It's impossible to give a meaningful "average" for a person's chance of being a victim of violent crime without assessing multiple other factors. An Amish kid in PA is much less likely to be a victim of either violent attack or a car accident than you are, for example. While statisticians can come up with a number (hint... look in the Uniform Crime Reports and National Crime Victimization Survey), it's not a really useful number because of the amount of variables.

Maybe you want to start by assessing what constitutes "real life" to you...

A running list of scams would be pretty much impossible. I could, but I'm a full time student who excercises (with medical issues, long story, don't ask). If I was a full time RBSD instructor (or something similar) I could, but until that happens, I cann't.

I would, but I'd like to avoid the normal 'this is my qualifications' opening post. Since they're mostly self absorbed none-sense. I don't feel like being the same as other morons who post abot how there military training makes them some how more qualified then the next guy.

Maybe you should have read the part where I said 'national average'.
