With that said I think it will make it easier for someone with a fresh idea to shine amongst the dusty menusha of the same ole same. I have over 300 channels on my TV but I only watch say 12 -15 on a regular basis. So the same is going happen with blogging on the best of the best will survive.

I do agree with you on most bloggers are not professional, some of these folks if they had to work in a metric driven environment, they would not make it. Nothing replace hard work, not even genius.

Thanks for the post by the way. It’s really great!

The effect poor writing vs. quality writing can have on your readership.

When people read or listen to your voice and their gut dings “Giving to me” rather than “Taking from me”, I believe that’s what wins fans.

The self is ALWAYS COMING THROUGH.

Anyone who doesn’t provide value, i.e. wastes time, blabs only about themselves, is going to be ignored. Maybe even disdained.

For me, what great writing has in common is offering value. Value of course, is relative to the target audience. Who cares if anyone but your ideal prospect doesn’t like you?

I’ve heard it said that the more personal you think something is, the more universal it is. Comedians get laughter out of recognition all the time knowing this.

Revealing flaws or personal stories serves as a spice for your content. Experiences people can relate to transforms a ‘data dump’ into a ‘bonding event’.

When your personality shines through, when value is present and mixed with fearlessness… it can be one hell of potent mix.

Keep keeping it real and valuable, Harry and James!

[...] Bloggers That Fake It [...]

I think a lot of bloggers forget to answer that age-old business question – what needs doing?

The world does need more people who are able to provide inspiring accounts of how they personally actually did put these things into practice, but it doesn’t need simple copycat information.

Even in other fields this applies. My own blog only really took off when I re-focused it to fulfilling the need of providing community legal education rather than simply writing random opinions.
