I started this personal blog because I love to write and felt I had a lot of life experiences that would help others who were going through hard times. I could show them that there is light on the other side.
But then I started having self-doubt’s why would anyone really be interested in my life and what I am doing or thinking. I never ever feel that way when I write my business blog or do guest blog posts.
My life has been about my business for so long I guess I just don’t think people would want to slow down and read my silly posts.
Or is it a lack of self and that is why I feel this way?
I love reading about others life experiences.
Do you ever feel this way or am I a freak of nature???
Perhaps I should just enjoy the journey…

Well, I write about business, too. I try to add a little bit of the personal in my posts and email newsletters. I suppose I prefer that combination in others’ blogs, too. as I rarely read blogs that are personal only. It’s too hard — and too time-consuming — to find the needle in the haystack that is really worthwhile.
I started the Ultimate Blog Challenge to get more comments and traffic. Same for you? I haven’t gotten many comments – only 9 as of today — so I’m not sure it was worth it. How do you feel about it?
I have gotten a lot of response. Especially since it was really hidden before this. I am surprised I can write a blog a day without boring
people to death. My business blog gets a lot of traffic but maybe next time I will do that. You are focused on your business like I was – when you own your own business it is a 24/7 proposition.
To answer you question – yes think it is worth it if only to teach me how to be disciplined and focused. I promise you more people will see your blog than you know and the search engines will start picking up your blog because you always have fresh content…
