It has to be unique and have a voice, and can't just be words written out. People respond better to more lively, interesting posts that get the point across.

It can be difficult to get the message across without sounding dull and boring in terms of writing professionally. However, people respond better to writing online that has your own personality included which is exactly what you have pointed out to everyone, thank you. Excellent post.

Blog marketing isn't like other forms of communication. The "official" business channels we may be used to are "officially" DEAD. Time to speak like a human being, not a coprorate robot. I'm not breaking my own rule, because it's branding/identification. If all I used were the words "blog consulting" and no name at all, then I would be breaking my own rule. Hope that clears things up and sorry for the confusion. :) @Tom – Well, they say timing is everything! Blog marketing isn’t like other forms of communication.

I really needed to hear this. I'm just now struggling to extract myself from the rigid corporate- speak my (corporate) clients have demanded, and allow myself to be the "real me." If one client doesn't like it, fine. There are others who will -- I hope! Your Self-Promotion 2.0 post should help in that area. PS: I totally agree with your policy about not allowing keywords in name boxes. But, um, aren't you breaking your own rule? Bulls-eye, Michael! I really needed to hear this.

Letting personality shine through in writing is essential. How else to differentiate yourself? How else to lend meaning to your words? How else to engage me when I read your blog or website? I just redid my website at the beginning of the year with blog posts and video. Lots of hard work to deliver yet well worth it. There's even a video post out there on Personality Types! Have fun watching it and I welcome your comments there. http://katenasser.com/category/video Kate Nasser, The People-Skills Coach Thank you for this post!
