Thank you for continuing to support Source Blogger. In this article, we’re going to try to appeal to you in a different fashion. This should be an article that will have a lot of direct meaning to you as a blogger. I want you to really focus on the message in this post. At Source Blogger, our goal is to inspire and support you in order to take your blog to the next level.

Let me begin by sharing with you where you should begin focusing your blogging strategies in the next decade: “What Jim Cramer Could Teach You About Blogging”

In this new decade, good content will not be enough. Search engine optimization? nope. Social media marketing? Uh-huh. No way.

If you truly want to create a buzz in the blogosphere and convert (and maintain) the greatest number of subscribers, it will be through your unique writing style.Your personality and character must be clearly reflected in your content.

That is your advantage. Use it. You’re not here to “fit in” or conform. So what if the trend says to use a the standard white/blue/black WordPress Thesis Theme, remove all advertising, and blog in a cold, impersonal, and distance manner. It doesn’t have to be your approach. Does it?  

Can readers recognize your article without knowing it’s from you? Why not?

 What are you so afraid of? We believe in you. The only thing keeping you from the A-List is you.

Think of yourself as the new “Jim Cramer of the blogging community”. Jim Cramer is just like many of the thousands of hedge fund managers on Wall St., but he knows to entertain and engage his viewers. He knew when he parted ways with Larry Kudlow to create his own show, the type of persona it would take to create something special. He created Mad Money (airs nightly on CNBC).

Now am I telling you to be as “over-the-top” as he has been? No. Just merely gauge how viewers interact with him. And strive to incorporate that in your blog.

Does that mean the transition will be smooth for you? Of course it won’t. Commentators will write in with very vicious and hurtful comments to undermine your efforts. If you truly believe you have unique contribution to readers, you deserve the revenue and notoriety that comes along with it. And you should not be so impacted by a few, anonymous comments. Or other bloggers’ views on how you should blog.

Blogging is about fire. Blogging is about passion. Blogging is about your personal journey. Blogging is about creativity. Blogging is about your expression – without limits.

Blogging can also be an overwhelming task to undertake between your career, your spouse, continuing your education, and pursuing opportunities in the stock market and your small business. (Ok, most of that was catered around Source Blogger’s situation – laughs).

What drives Source Blogger is the input and feedback from the growing Source Blogger community. This has truly been a special experience for us here at Source Blogger. Whatever level of achievement we have been fortunate to accomplish in our short, 4.5 months is because of sincerity and interest in elevating your blogging ability.

We knew that Source Blogger had to be well-written, intelligent, inspiring, relevant…and most of all entertaining.

Ok, many of you oversee blogs that are not in the same category/niche as we are, but these same principles still apply.

“Source Blogger, is it really that easy to network with my readers and other bloggers? How? 

Not only is it easy, it is a very rewarding aspect to what we do as bloggers. Recognize and appreciate the time readers take to respond to your articles. We truly enjoy hearing from the Source Blogger community. Sure they can be impatient and demanding, but they motivate us to continue to improve. We appreciate that. It drives us to please them.

Like animals and babies, readers and other bloggers can sense when your intentions are pure and unselfish.

You will never truly be successful in blogging, until you stop trying to take advantage of each of the hundreds of thousand of people your blog will reach in it’s lifetime. Instead of trying to create “multiple streams of blog income,” work on building lasting, giving relationships first. – Source Blogger

We hope this article has caused to reflect on your own online identity. Who are you? The ultimate goal is to “brand yourself” as a credible source of information and entertainment. No one will ever buy a thing from you otherwise. Help them to believe in you as we do.
