What Image Does Your Blog Portray?

by Melvin · Dec 2, 2008

When we first create our blog we set our niche, what is our topic all about, who is our target audience and etc. We don’t really dwell with what image does the blog really portray. As our blog gets older, we started to notice that “ah this blog is something like this” or “this blog’s jokes aren’t that funny” and so on. I think this is what our blog can be remembered for when they died. In short, this what makes the blog unique. For some reason, it could also be the reason why people are following you. Maybe they like a perverted blog or a blog that has a horrible grammar.

And its nice to see that whenever you look at each blog, you see what their images are. You head on to problogger and you see a blog that is very professional. No nonsense posts, no crappy paragraphs, all (seems) done to perfection. Go on to Chow’s blog and you’ll see a completely contrasting one. “Evil” full of affiliate links, 35% only are the helpful posts and so on. But on the flip side, it flows more natural, everyone can relate to it and you can learn a lot outside making money online. Now I’m not just talking about Big blogs here. Head on to smaller blogs and you’ll see some other too.

Now it goes on at the top of my mind and said to myself “What the heck does my blog portray?” “Why are people following me?” Sure I don’t provide solid money making tips as other bloggers do and I don’t claim this blog as a make money online as well. I was just like writing what is on my mind for the certain moment. Whenever I look at my archives (I always does), and see my past posts and read them, what I see common about them is how spontaneous the posts are. Sure people can rip me for saying i don’t pay attention to grammar and I don’t proofread and I don’t care to fix my previous page link and I don’t care to cloak links but then its like most of my readers like it here. The funny thing is that some of the most viewed/commented posts here aren’t related to internet marketing like this one.

Oh well. All in all my blog is just portraying an image an 18 year old intelligent student who has ton of interest w/making living of Google and the internet, someone who thinks he’s a great basketball player and a guy who’s deeply in love, attracted w/a girl named krishtalyn at the moment. What about your blog? I have my own thing on how each blog portrays themselves but more likely its better if it comes out in your own mouth first. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I try to stay away from “common” topics/news where a lot of bloggers would blog about it. I try to portray an image that will enable bloggers to be at their best ๐Ÿ˜›

    My blog consists of my daily life. HAhahah…Well, as you read it. It’s like a diary.

    But I hate considering it as a diary. I love sharing whatever pops out of my mind. ๐Ÿ™‚

    In fact Melvin, I have noticed how blogs are different, with the “image” they portray. I you are like my blog I keep changing the theme! And I look at my archives and it was waaay different a year ago.

    I try my best not to follow the crowd and write something on my own. Might sometimes sound stupid to others ๐Ÿ˜†

    However, I am going slow on ad sales, monetization etc. My way of trying various ad services etc are for checking out how valuable they are and then write about it. Then I move on to another… So mine is not a practical money making model for me, but for others.

    Hope this works for long term!
