Is This Why Most Bloggers Fail?

Ever Wonder why most bloggers fail, well according to DEREK HALPERN Chief Persuasion Officer at DIYthemes, the biggest reason most blogger fail is that they talk too much about themselves on their blog.

There are 60 Plus comments on his post “Why most bloggers fail” at DIYtheme official blog, most of them agrees that bloggers should not talk too much about themselves on their blog. No Doubt this topic is debatable as I don’t agree with this fact. After all blogs created and designed with the intention that people will talk about them on it. Sometimes blogs refers to as “Online Diaries”, but with the rise of social networking sites people are using social media platform like facebook and twitter to talk about their personal stuff and using blog to rant or ramble or write about specific topic or niche in which they are expert.

Following are some reason why I am advocating this fact that you must talk about yourself on your blog;

1. Blogs were created as your personal Online Diaries.
2. It help you connect with your readers.
3. Visitors who reads your blog want to know more about you.
4. The most visited page on any blog is “about me”
5. After all Its your blog

Tell me what you think about it?

I like to know my readers view on this.

   Its true many people start to boast about themselves without thinking about what their blog is all about. All they want is to make themselves popular.

   I personally think sharing your own personal thoughts and experiences on blog helps a lot in bridging the gap between reader and writer. I personally love to read author experiences when I visit other blogs because it really helps me in evaluating the author. But, yes, this should not be overdone. A good mix of actual blog topic plus slight flavor of your personal experiences makes the blog readable and really interesting.
   I usually share my life experiences with my readers and most of times they react with huge response to such articles.
