Your ideas matters the most!
Have you ever wondered how often do we gel with people you have just acquainted with or how close you have become to a colleague through just one acquaintance, its all in mind we want to be surrounded and be with people we are comfortable with, the people who will understand your thoughts, your feelings and also support you when the need be. As it is rightly said in this famous quote that, “Birds of the same feather flock together”, the great writings like this doesn’t emerge in just one day, they built up with experience and due knowledge in the field by scholars of yesteryears.
There are bloggers who just go about writing and try connecting to people over different social networks but they fail to understand that they can nearly take advantage of this phenomena and make more people coming to their blogs. It just doesn’t happen with you writing stuff, you have to create great powerful ideas so that people get attracted towards your blog and also take interest in reading them. Your ideas are your main weapons through which you can persuade your audience in to agreeing with your ideas and reading them further. So now lets a take brief look as to what Ideas mean.
Ideas are what we are made up of, they are our personal philosophies, you don’t go to anyone for seeking ideas, ideas just emerge in your minds which are fine tuned in brains, and they are made up of our very own views, opinions and beliefs. Our ideas are mostly based on our life’s experiences and the relationships which we maintain, they are basically the memories left in our mind of all the past experiences of life, the experiences and acquaintances of past is what makes our own idea and the thinking matter.
As it rightly said by Victor Schwab that the mind is a montage of impressions, bromidic wall sentiments, generalities and sentiments, to make it more simpler take the case of the idea of branded goods, while you are saving in on your money what is the best way to ignore buying branded stuff, it may be done through the talk that “money is wasted buying branded goods”. So you may make your opinion accordingly and a good idea to not buy branded stuff there by saving on your money.
Some people who are crazy about brands may like buying only branded stuff, they may opinionate that spending money on brands are a good use of money, this is the time when people disagree with each other for different view points and then comes dislike for each other, but if opinions match of both the parties then the parties might appear as like minded individuals and there would be no disagreements. It is commonly seen that when we are searching for some important information you might first go asking to the people who you trust the most, or the people who are experts in the field. But its after all a human tendency to go and attend to people whom we trust or rely on the most, reliability upon another person comes when they think likewise, the philosophies of people which are aligned in the same directions or the ideas and visions match.
We start trusting individuals when through some experience you might have gained or felt nice or not cheated, the feeling of trusteeship comes by associating with different types of people whose ideas we already like and resonate with. Take the example of Michael Masterson, who is a successful business with $300 million fortune, states that all we people want to get is to understand to get a way of life which is meaningful to us, everybody has the idea of how actually the world should be and what it is.
You may go for shopping for hundreds of products, and see thousands of products for that, but you will finally buy the product whose viewpoint coincides with what the mental block of that product we have prepared in our minds. And if you happen to find a person who will explain you of the methods to run the world there are mostly the chances of you sticking to that person’s view points forever. The same type of phenomena also applies to blog readers, people come and visit your blog out of curiosity to learn more about the lines in the linked pages, they come only with the trust factor that they agree to your opinions written in the blogs. The main reason behind this is that they mostly agree with your viewpoints and connect well to your language and power of writing. Let me give you a nice example that will illustrate it further more better, say you are a regular reader of John chow’s blog and you also follow him on twitter, he might have thousands of subscribers too who love reading his lines guiding them to the true path of life.
Most of us who are regular readers know this already and most of you would agree to John’s idea that you should blog about the things that you are really passionate about, we feel so connected to that person because it shows in his/her writings. Once you get connected to the person, you start trusting that person and they become your regular readers, there may be possibility that some people may not agree to your idea and would not like to trust you and so next time they will not come to your blog to read your articles.
Sometimes you hear logical reasons from people when you ask them why visit so and so’s blog, they will have number of reasons to say, that the information is great, they feel connected to the person writing the blog, they relate their stories to the story given in blog, etc. human beings are irrational and get emotional often we have seen marketers experience this often. People visit blogs which are more subjective in nature, we might not realize this but indirectly we agree to the blogger’s ideas, their opinions, their views and their beliefs. Below given are some of the things that you can keep in mind and start doing:
- Share your ideas with others and give views or opinions to others regarding whatever you feel about a particular thing. When you are giving information over the blog make sure that you state your views, also don’t forget to include the ideas about particular topic you strongly feel about. Start giving straight opinions regarding a particular topic without feeling anything, follow your mind and speak out. when you give out strong opinions over the site they become your pillars of support.
- Along with the blogs that you write you can also include some short stories relating to you over the blog that would make your blog really special because it has your personal touch. May whatever you might be writing about, make sure to add a little personal touch by including your little stories of your ideas or experiences or dealings in the past, we know that people love to read ideas or stories, so you go ahead in writing and let them enjoy your stories.
- When people disagree with you on some point, don’t apologize for the same as you have written what you believe in. whenever you say people disagree with you or have negative feelings about you then you got to celebrate as per John Chow’s advice, whenever people go against you remember that you are doing great job for this reason they want to stop you.
When you have respect for yourself and you thoroughly believe in what you write then it should not make any sense to you whether people might speak positive or negative about you. Don’t be of double-minded stay on one particular thing you believe in and state it on your blog without any fears, don’t become weak by anyone’s opinion stay by the truth that you believe and if possible make them agree to your point of view by giving an example which they will like and which relates to them. Don’t ever make them feel about your wavering opinion instead be confident and face everything straight from hear.
There could be similar like minded individuals like that of your, these are the people who feel connected to you and they feel so close to you because of your statements in the blog. These people will focus on your opinions and you will get good attention from them.
5 Ways To Use Twitter Less Often
If I could, I would spend many hours each day working on my Twitter account. But, since I also have a life, I need to take care of other things too.

Sincerity In Your Blogging
Remaining sincere while working in a world full of individuals who are only concerned about self gain, are often factors that make it much harder to become a successful blogger, and remain sincere all the while. Anyone that wants to be a successful blogger must be sincere and be aware of the people’s needs and desires. Four major points will show how powerful sincerity is.
- Commenting – Spam, everyone knows what it looks like. It is irritating and full of links and comments not related to your own site. Self-praising posts are signs of them not being sincere. A sincere comment will explain what they like or do not like. Some comments are only for increasing their reputation for SEO or with other backlinks. It may also include a “pay per click” link. A sincere comment takes a real effort to contribute to the article with a positive slant or a negative slant. A negative comment can contribute to the article by pointing out points that you may not have considered. It does not matter what you write as long as you care about the subject matter, are sincere, and it is written in a manner easily understood.
- Collaborating – A lot of emails sent to me or other bloggers request that we add a link to their web site. This type of comment does not take any thought or intelligence to write. There is no personalization in this type of comment. When bloggers collaborate it is because they have something to contribute to each other’s blog. The next time you communicate with a blogger, use their name, explain what you want and the reason behind your request. The bloggers want to know how it would be beneficial to them and you. Do not use too much flattery. That sounds like you are trying to “butter them up”. Remember, your previous work will be looked at and evaluated. You want to work with someone that likes your work and believes that you have something to contribute.
- Writing – It can be very hard to keep up with daily posts, time spent for blogging and living your life. Always remember to give your readers a sincere and true attempt at what is contained in your post. It is dishonest to cram in an article or post just to be posting. Take your time and carefully form your opinion and thoughts and then express them in an appropriate manner.
- Designing – Your design or layout will reflect your honesty or sincerity. Do not hide your links, overload your page with advertising or disguise your affiliate products. Readers want to receive valuable information from your site and do not want to be confused with advertising or hidden links. Advertising is a way to increase revenue, just keep it to a reasonable amount so the reader does not get lost or confused. Offer a clean layout that allows readers to enjoy the work that you put into the site.
Remember the things you should not do, but do not forget the things that you should do. Review your work and evaluate it for readability, honesty and sincerity. This will create a community of bloggers that will continue to return for more information. As you leave comments worth following, it will bring more traffic to the blog.
Give A Boost To The Comments on Your Blog
One of the easiest ways you can tell if any particular blog is popular or not is in the number of comments that are being left behind by previous readers. If you have started a blog on an upbeat topic that you think should be very interesting, then of course one of your number one goals will be to have your readers interacting and posting their own thoughts and ideas onto your site. If you notice that the comments being left on your blog are not nearly as high in number as you would like them to be, there are a few tips on how you can get more readers to make comments on your site.
- Start the action yourself. One of the most effective methods and proves worthy of your extra time in breaking the ice and getting your readers to begin posting on your blog is by posting a few comments of your own on other individual’s blogs. This is after all what the huge cyber world of blogging is all about, right? If you will jump into the drivers seat and take the initiative to begin commenting, then other people are sure to follow suit. Believe it or not, there are some people that are simply shy and do not like to be the first person to begin a conversation. Simply leaving a small comment telling someone else how much you have enjoyed reading their blog can often turn into several subscribers that will post a variety of different future blog comments on your site.
- Everyone likes rewards. It is a well-known fact that most people get a kick out of having the chance to get rewarded. This also holds true amongst the large number of bloggers that are speaking their minds all over the Internet today. It does not have to be anything huge, but if you will simply show a small amount of appreciate and possibly highlight a particular blog post now and again, your readers will quickly take notice that you care about their thoughts and ideas and you are paying attention to them. If a person feels like what they have to say is important, it will certainly leave them more apt to leave future posts as well. There are a variety of plugins that are available online today that could also work fantastic as an appreciative reward that you could offer to the top bloggers on your site.
- Set the hook. It does not matter where you are or what it is that you may be doing, a topic of controversy is always going to be something that you can rely on to get some exciting action going. This type of topic is something that can kill two birds with one stone. Not only will you see a larger amount of traffic flow to the site, but when you use a controversial topic you will also generally notice several more comments being made.
- Give your readers a response. Do not expect to answer a few questions and then carry on your merry way. You need to continuously pay attention to what is going on, pay attention to the questions that are being asked, and then contemplate the manner with which you plan to answer your reader’s questions. It is rather important that they know you are listening and you care about what they have to say.
- Ask for the feedback you expect. When you have spent time and thought into a post on a topic that you feel very strongly about, make sure you portray this to your readers. After you have completed the post, by all means take the time to tell them you would like to hear what your message says to them.
