Powerful Content Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

What makes a difference for me might not for you. Good content is relative! If you are wanting to make money, you want to read about how to do that. You may be here to make friends, so money making ideas don’t interest you.

I haven’t really tried very hard to make money at all. Those of you who do read this blog know that all I do is write to make a difference for you. This blog is for my readers. Court let the participants choose their category which just so happened to have the perfect one for me!

I don’t brag like John Chow and and am unimpressed by people who do. If there is one thing I am good at, it is helping others make a difference. This depends on what you consider making a difference! I can’t show you how to make money because I’m not about money. I can show you how to have a high standard of integrity and ethical coolness.

Listen To What Your Readers Want

  • No matter what you blog about, your readers should come first. Without your readers you are nothing. Different sites have different readers. People who read John Chow do not read my blog. I don’t attract greed. If you are impressed by ego, you are a shallow person. I believe most people aren’t shallow and over time, many bloggers who share my attitude will be a powerful force here on the web.
  • Read all of their comments and respond to them. More and more bloggers are getting put off by big blogs who don’t repond. Decide who you are more appreciative of. Some of these big sites had better watch out. Any site that makes friends and writes for them, will be a bigger money making force than many perceive.
  • Read your reader’s blogs and sites. If I read a blog and the author never ever comes to read mine, I am much more likely to stop reading theirs. We are all guilty of that. No one can read every blog. You should really make an effort to read your top commentators blogs regularly. I don’t care if it’s a 90 year old woman who blogs about her puppies, I will be her friend and enjoy her puppy pictures! Have a heart people!
  • Become friends with your readers. This is the most important thing you can do. There is a growing movement of marketing blogs that have comments turned off. The statistics show it is beneficial in both profits and subscribers. Statistics show that commentators do not help a blog make money. Blogs that have an opposite attitude in the near future will prove them wrong.
  • Give people free personal help. Just because some of you are into making money is no reason to sell your friendship. There is also a massive movement of bloggers who are getting sick of many of the A-list blogger’s cold hearted manners. I will not ‘work an angle‘ to befriend a prominent blogger and neither should you.
  • Participate in your reader’s communities. What does any of this have to do with content that makes a difference? It is your community of readers that make you! Write for them. Making your readers and commentators the stars is beautiful because it puts you in a class of your own. You can be 100 times more effective by knowing what to give your readers because to know what they want, you must know them!

Redefine what you think making a difference means

Show some love, compassion and get to know as many people as you can on a personal level. I can name at least 50 blogs right now who will be future superstars in one way or another. If any of these people become A-listers, it will bring some much needed integrity to the top spots in blogging.

Are you really making a difference for your readers? I can say with 100% certainty that I am. Even more important than that, my readers are making a incredible difference for me. Do you love your readers? Do you think I’m a sap? Well, I love my readers and truly care about them. They are the most beautiful people I know.

Remember that you are marketing yourself even if you have just a personal blog. The more experience and technical ability you gain, the greater your chances are of wanting to make some money. Last year, I didn’t even know what a blog was. Now, it’s my true passion! Once you start, you can’t stop…LOL!

Now, get off your rear and go make a difference!

I was invited by Court Tuttle to write this post for his Internet Marketers United Group Writing Project. Thanks Court!
