I love my blogs. I do. I read a ton of them, so I guess that's a good thing! The ones I enjoy the most are the ones where the authors share something personal about themselves--but not too much. There are a lot of writers out there who get this balance just right. I admire this.
I admire this, because this is something I don't exactly know how to do yet: How to balance my content between strictly-business and this-is-who-I-am. I do have a blog that's strictly for personal stuff. That blog is "safely" tucked away behind the privacy settings embedded on the site on which it's hosted. I can show it only to certain people, so I can be much freer with my content and not worry so much.
This blog, on the other hand, is for talking about my business. I talk to my clients and potential clients, to my peers, colleagues, fellow artisans and business people. I mostly share updates about what's happening with my venture. This is all well and good, but I'm aware it can be dry.
One of my goals for this year is to add new content and add content more often. I would like this blog to be more engaging and to share more of myself with you all. I just haven't figured out what aspects of myself I want to share or how much. It's a tough question to answer, because everyone's preferences are different.
Share your thoughts: How personal do you get on your blog, if you have one? If not, what level of sharing are you comfortable with from the blogs you read? What do you share about? What do you avoid?
I look forward to talking with people. There is a person behind this keyboard, after all!
