“The Wrestler” is the ultimate back stage pass to the world of professional wrestling. A world of big characters and more mayhem than we can ever hope to encounter in our lives. But the world of professional wrestling also holds the greatest marketing lessons, all of which can be applied to your blog.
1. Don’t live in the past.
Randy “The Ram” Robinson’s entire existence is stuck in the 80’s. Past success is not, on its own, an indicator of future success. Do not get lazy relying on past success to benefit your blog in the future.
2. Use what you have.
“The Wrestler” was produced for under six million dollars and shot, in part, on a hand-held camera by director Darren Aronofsky. Sometimes, you don’t have resources beyond what is in front of you. Make the most out of everything you have and find free alternatives when possible.
Example: Why buy Adobe Photoshop for $700 when you can download GIMP and learn how to use it for free?
Remember: There are no longer any excuses for mediocrity. If you can’t do something well, learn to use what you have and use these tools better than anyone else.

Nice tips. I also saw the movie and the story telling there is as disturbing as educational. In a sense it is typical story of a man who did something good and something bad in his life. An ordinary man, who is paying for his lifestyle and his mistakes. The ordinarily of his life is so exposed that covers almost the whole movie. And compared to blog creation idea it’s of course correct, just like it would be correct to almost any other part of life – don’t make mistakes, plan your future, use what you need, do not buy what you don’t need etc. etc. It’s not like discovering America, but the post is fine.
