Blogging Personality

Developing a blogging personality is critical if you want to make money with your writing. Customers don't buy from a business; they buy from you. Trying to separate the two is impossible.

If every blog post you write is just a review of an affiliate product or an attempt to sell something, your readers will get turned off in a hurry. Obviously you need to do that every now and then, but you need to have a uniqueness as well. Here are three methods to develop your own personality.

#1) Tell stories about your life

Stories are one of the best methods for generating interest. Think about it: during a speech, when do people listen the most?

It's when the speaker is telling a story. This is a great way to get interest in your business.

#2) Don't be yourself

This one might surprise you. When blogging for business, you no doubt have a certain target customer you are trying to reach.

You need to present yourself in a way that will be interesting to them.

For instance, if you are trying to sell to golfers, then you probably shouldn't talk about the last business seminar you went to. Instead tell stories about golf. Maybe talk about where you shot your last round.

#3) Don't be afraid of offending people

The great marketer Dan Kennedy says that if you haven't offended at least one person each day, you haven't done your job. In other words, you probably shouldn't try to mellow out and cater to everyone.

Accept that certain people will likely never be your customers. When you really picture what your target audience is like, you can develop a personality that caters specifically to them.

The surest formula for failure in business is trying to please everyone. While you no doubt will turn off a lot of people by telling it like it is, you will attract a group of diehard customers that will keep buying your products again and again.

Think of the most interesting sales letters you've read. Chances are they started out with a story of the writer's personal struggles in the topic they are describing. Finally they end it with a solution.

If you start telling stories about yourself, while tying it into your marketing, you will probably be amazed at the results.

Incorporating the human element is one of the most important keys to making money with blogging.

By consistently writing about yourself and including updates often, you will separate yourself from the other blogs out there.

This is how to really step into the world of the elite bloggers.
