Be personable, duh…
While I’m not going there and putting my picture up just yet, I would conclude that there’s something to be said about being personable.
Check out one of my prime examples, ProBlogger. Darren has his picture right there on the main page and he puts his personality into his posts. After time, you get to know someone by their tone and writing and you can somewhat know what type of person they are in real life. Typing and reading lend nothing to voice inflection and body language, so this is how you’re going to get to know someone online, by their writing talent.
When you’re being reviewed by someone else’s site or have agreed to do a link exchange of some sort, always read what the other person has written about you. If you’re not involved and you don’t get back to readers or commenters, it looks bad on your part.
So, be personable.
When others have taken their time to read what you’ve written and comment on it, say thanks, comment back, or maybe even skip on over to their site. You could always add some link love.
Read on, reader.
