Times in the online world and the IM world have changed. In the past, when doing business dealings or communicating with clients, possible partners, and even the people who leave you comments, it was common place to be very professional and business like.
Now days, the common advice is to be more friendly and personable. That’s all fine and dandy. I like that. But, I know me and sometimes I chatter too much. Of course there are times that I rarely chatter. And talking to me in person, you might think I didn’t have much to say. However, put my fingers on a keyboard and I can be a chatterbox.
I guess that’s a little misleading when people want to chat with me on Skype. They probably expect someone who is about to jump out of their skin and talks 90 to nothing. I’m really not like that. I’m content to sit and listen to others talk, but like I said, give me a keyboard or a chat box and away I go.
I have a lot of chatter in my head. I keep intending to use all of that chatter as blog posts, but never seem to get around to doing it. I’ve learned that people like informative posts, they want to learn from you. They also enjoy reading a good yak now and then, especially if it’s humorous or controversial, or even both depending on how you deliver your controversial message.
So what’s your blogging personality? Do you like to chatter once in awhile and post something totally unrelated to your niche? Share a bit of yourself on occasion?
What’s been your experience with doing this? Which types of post seem to get the most attention and the most response? I’d love to hear your thoughts so just leave a comment.
Have a great day!
