Selling Yourself

Every time you make a post you are selling yourself to the world. This means you should be not only fact checking your story, it means the use of proper spelling and decent grammar are essential. If your post looks and sounds like a sixth grader wrote it, that doesn’t mean you are good enough to be on So You Think You Are Smarter Than A fifth Grader.

Yes, we all make mistakes and sometimes we are the only person reading our posts, sometimes we just happen to be the smartest person reading our posts. Either way mistakes in spelling, grammar, or facts creep into our posts and when you see them it is your responsibility to go in and edit them.

This blog is an extension of you and you need to treat it in a manner in which you think you deserve. If you want people to notice you then you need to socialize with others and start joining social networks. The biggest reason for joining networks such as Digg, Del.Icio.us, StumbleUpon, Sphinn and others is you lack an advertising budget.

I won’t go into the ins and outs of social networks here, but suffice it to say you need to join them and participate. No one is going to sell you and your blog to other people if you don’t make an effort to do it for yourself.
