Great article. I have created a blog hoping to explore and develop personal interests, and sometimes hesitate in letting my quirks show…i think I will now. Also, My blog is so anti-niche, that I have been researching monetization techniques and I seem to be heading towards two conclusions. 1. some of the techniques seem like the internet equivalent of telemarketing – no insult to telemarketers – but more about driving traffic. 2. There seems to have been a golden era of problogging that has just about passed.

I agree, the best blogs i enjoy reading are the ones where the writer is a jerk and does not give a hoot. Insults fly left and right, but guess what the audience loves it. Personality always wins, on and offline

It’s OK to start a blog as a learning journal too.

absolutely… tho it may be Carnegie or Abraham who said, “it’s more important to be interestED in others, than to be interestING to others.” That’s the irony of personal branding.

So while we want our blogging to convey our personality, we should also see if from their perspective… what do our readers find interesting? Then we won’t risk being as boring as we really are ;)

That’s why I help lawyers, accountants, financial planners, and real estate professionals (some of the most boring guys out there) to get into the blogosphere, I help them focus on their hobbies, values, interests, causes… stuff that’s a bit more interesting than the number-crunching and fact-citing they’re used to.

good points.

In a tribute to the upcoming season of ghouls and goblins?. I give you; Things that Scare me in the world of internet marketing

WOW, you’ve been Blogging about Blogging lately? I hadn’t noticed man… he he… I suppose you may have something because outside of the ‘persona’ – I have no idea why folks keep coming back to my hide-away really. I feel like an auto race that folks are simply waiting to see me crash in a ball of flames some day.

That of course, is altogether likely :0) …

Oh and thanks for generally having some meat behind the Titles … he he..

You’re absolutely right. No worries about going a little off topic. Your posts on blogging have a lot to say.

Great post. Perfectly explains why blogs are successful (and most aren’t). Blogging is a popularity contest and personality has everything to do with it.

Thats very true. I wish people don’t just start a blog and try to make money because someone else is doing it. I started my blog mainly to get sticky traffic and promote affiliate product easier.

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve only recently started my blog but I had thought about for ages and I agonized over the name for weeks and weeks. I knew I wanted to quit my job and make a living online and write about that journey but I just couldn’t think of what to call it. I was trying to come up with clever names but nothing felt right.

Then one day it just dawned on me – rather than try to be clever, why not just be me? My blog is in my own name, that’s it. It’s a blog about my personal journey and at least this way I can write freely in my own voice.
