Indeed bloggers are salesperson, we have this time of our life wherein we need to convince people of our services and our products. However, as a salesperson, we need not just have to like the person or people, we need to know them and understand them to be able to come up with solutions which they can actually get from us. Its is marketing. .-= Tyrone Shum´s last blog ..VIDEO 8: How To Pay Money Using Xoom =-.

Good tips Bill, thank you. I knew, when I first began blogging, that I wanted to promote content that I would want to read myself. If I focus on my niche, know what people are looking for (because I've been there), then that's a good first step. Karlyns last blog post..Wahm Alerts Moving

Blogging is like so many other things.

If you dabble, it will never be a business.

If you want it to be a business, you need a plan.

Yours is solid.

Excellent post Bill! I agree on all points.

The pitfall I fell into when I first started blogging was jut regurgitating other site’s information and only adding a few cents worth of commentary to what had already been said. This is a very easy pitfall to fall into and it made me and my blog come across as cheap and low quality.

Since recognizing the pitfall and learning to use my own voice, readership has increased exponentially. Now, keeping things in perspective, my numbers are pretty low, but given my effort investment, I’m getting a very nice return.

So, to add what you’ve already said so well here… Don’t sell yourself by presenting what you “think” people want to read. Be genuine and capitalize on your assets to meet the 4 outlined points. If you’re just adding spin to what others are already saying, you wont get very far. Be original. Be yourself. A good salesman knows what degree of their personality they should let shine through to “charm” the client/visitor.

I think I'm a good salesman, but I should probably figure out how that applies to my blog. Futon-Matt's last blog post..Does this look like a button to you?

I think everybody is a salesperson, one way or another. Even in my day job, which is a doctor, the way I relate to my patients "sells" me as a doctor. Thanks for this reminder. Have to keep this is mind while I'm blogging. Joey's last blog post..It's Tax Time!
