How to Let Your Personality Flow while Blogging

Great bloggers all share one virtue in common:  They infuse their writing with a triple shot of personality.  Let your personality flow into your blogging and your readers will find you.  – Jeffery Feldman, editor in chief of Frameshop and HuffPost blogger

There is nothing worse than arriving on a blog, only to be let down.  You begin reading the first few sentences and then you bounce.  Why did your bounce?

You bounced because the site you landed on reminded you of a dictionary or an encyclopedia.  Did a real person even write this stuff?

You should blog like you mean it, in your own voice, while allowing your personality to shine.  The only way you can do this is by sharing a little piece of yourself with your readers.

Readers will learn more from you when they can relate to you and your experiences.  The reader will get great information from your articles, but they will also remember you after they leave your blog and be compelled to take action.

Post to your blog regularly

You have heard this probably a zillion times, but the more you write the better you get and as a result you become comfortable sharing with others.

Decide when you will post and do your best to stick with it.  If you decide to post 2 times per week, then stick with that.  Your readers will love you for your consistency and be eager to engage with you even more.

Post useful, helpful, beneficial and informative articles

Sharing awesome information that people can use will send many people your way.  People love to read information that will help them answer their questions.

When you begin writing, always ask yourself, will anyone find this post helpful, useful, and beneficial?

Don’t try to be like any other blogger, just be yourself

The worst thing anyone can do is try to be someone else.  When you write, write like you mean it, straight from your heart.  That’s the only effective way you can truly reach your audience.

Let go and let your writing flow.  Don’t worry about what people might say or think, because you are being you.

Respond to comments and emails

Make it a practice to respond to all of your comments, even if it means leaving a simple thank you. A simple thank you will go along way and means more than you will ever know.

Make a video

Every now and then, embed a video to let your readers see the real you in the flesh.  This will allow your readers a glimpse of who you are and it makes things a little more personable.

Video leaves a lasting impression on people.  If you’re camera shy, take it slow, but do consider the power of video.

Conclusion

Some bloggers don’t allow the reader to really get to know them, but you must decide today to let your personality shine.

Don’t be afraid of letting others see the real you.  It can only help you soar to higher heights.

Don’t be boring, bland and dry.  Throw a little spice in whatever you do.  After all, it’s your blog and variety is the spice of life.
