What Kind Of Blogger Do You Want To Be?

When you first start thinking of starting a blog, you may not completely understand your “online persona” but once again, you’ll at least want to give it some thought.

Your “Blogging Persona”

Your “blogging persona” can impact everything about your blog and the way you present yourself to the world. The style in which you write your blog posts, how often you publish those posts, where to share them on social media, and even how long (how many words) to make your blog posts will all be affected by your “blogging persona.”

Here are a few possible “blogging personas” to help get you started…

1. Expert

You are the ultimate source of knowledge on your particular topic and you want to be acknowledged for your expertise. Your blog posts will be very focused, very detailed, and often quite long. These days an expert post can easily exceed 300o – 5000 words and that’s perfectly OK. Gone are the days of 300-word “link bait” articles.

2. Helper

The helper personas are the Reviewers, DIY’ers, and how to bloggers (I tend to fall in this category). You want to help other people solve their problems in what ever way possible.

3. Storyteller

You have a story to tell! You’re writing is creative and flowy and your blog posts may cover many different topics from your wedding day to your adventures remodeling your home. Wherever your inspiration leads you, that’s what you write about.

3. Marketer

You want to become a blogger for one simple reason – promote your business and make money. You’re not in it for the passion. You’re in it for the money.

4. Reporter 

Whether it’s beauty, fashion, technology, politics, or natural foods, if it’s news and it’s happening now, you know about it want to write about it. You tend to post shorter posts more frequently with lots and lots of pictures to help tell your story. There are many more “blogging personas” so take the time upfront to understand who you are before you start blogging. Look at other bloggers in your niche to see how they write and format their posts and website as a whole.

It will save you and your readers a lot of frustration and confusion later down the road.

Seriously, can you imagine going to a technical product review site where the “reviewer” proceeds to tell you about the incredible fashion show she went to last night?
