Importance Of Adding Voice and Opinion to Your Blog

7 May, 2007 | Written by John | under Blog Basics, Blog Writing Tips

Now that I have some basic yet useful content on this blog that you can learn from regarding blogging I want to explain to you the importance of adding your own voice and opinion to your blog which will increase readership and hopefully spark some lively discussions in your comments section…

If you think your own opinion and voice on a subject doesn't really matter you'd be completely missing one of the best aspects of why people start a blog in the first place. Of course when visitors land on your blog they are looking for specific information regarding the topic of your blog but what will make these visitors think that what you have to say is different from the rest of the other thousands of blogs in your niche ?

Your Own Unique Voice and Opinion On the Topic - That's What Makes You Different

Lets give you a quick example of my own opinion on all the hype and bullshit flying about cyberspace regarding how easy it is to make money online. Let me tell you it's NOT easy to make money online. Of course it's possible and many people do make a lot of money online but it takes a lot of work and dedication with a lot of trial and error along the way. I don't wish to put you off trying to make money online with an internet business but want you to understand that it's not as easy as some so called internet guru's make it out to be. Just this morning I received an email in my inbox from a well known marketer with the subject line which read…

"Make an Easy $2,700 within 10 days"

Come on Mr Guru give me a break. It may be easy for you with your big prospect and customer list but what about the average Joe who reads your headline, it's not going to happen is it ?

Another effective way of adding your own voice and personality to your posts is to make people laugh believe it or not. After all when something makes you laugh it makes you feel good doesn't it ?

Here's a video that made me laugh:

Summing Up

By adding your own voice and opinion will help you to differentiate yourself from the other boring cut and paste kind of blogs out there and will also help you to build a loyal readership…
