When we put our blogs together, we wanted to avoid the fake looking short story aspect. Its easy to do a blog with a "personality" site. Its much easier even when that person is actually writing it!

Check out some of our blogs and how we handled them.


These are personality based blogs with real people behind them.

I like personal blogs and tend to click out of sponsor feed blogs. The only thing with my blog is keeping it interesting which with my life isn't easy to do.

When surfing for blogs to read I like
a personal touch
catchy story/text
one pic or movie that goes with the post

My blog doesn't have decent traffic or many comments yet. I'm thinking of a way of mixing up it some without loosing the somewhat personal aspect of it. It's easy to slap a sponsor blog up but maintaining a personal one is a lot harder.

Just my two cents

I've stayed out of this conversation because I really don't know what would go into a good sponsor feed, my opinion is much like Fonz's - my blog is more of a hobby than anything I will make money from right now.

I totally agree with you here, Sue. I've been trying to make my blog more 'commercial' but it just ends up looking spammy when I do, just because of the nature of the blog. I'm just keeping it personal for now, as I really don't have too much time to spend looking for things to go into it.

I did use some blog feeds for another site & I really liked it, the best thing I can come up with is the same as everyone else - lots of good text and a nice pic. Also it would have to be regularly updated too.

Not as many different answers as I thought there would be. For a blog, I think it is important to develop what I call a voice or a persona. A consistency that creates trust and gains bookmarks. I believe in using "soft sell" techniques in a blog.

Rather than a post being full of sales text, it should generate an interest in the topic. The title, text and visuals should draw the surfer to his final destination....the sponsor.

It can be done with a few short sentences so I'd never look at word count as a defining element in quality.

The title....grabs the surfers attention

text....works in conjunction with the title to further raise the surfers curiosity

the visual...the picture compliments the two above and acts as a tease.

White space is your friend. I don't use it enough myself but many people wont read big paragraphs. They skim over them. But break it up and it becomes much more readable

Since you asked....Lets look at the first post in the My Sex Life feed.

I'd probably title it Dinner with Dessert.

I'd pick a picture showing more of the sexy lingerie on. The picture you used is hot but I'd make the surfer click a link to see something like that.

For the text something along the lines of:

You've had a hard day at the office. I want to give you something special.

A little candlelight, some nice wine and a nice juicy steak. Let me wait on you while you enjoy yourself.

Do you like the lingerie I picked just for you? After you finish, I want to do strip out of these for you and let you devour me for dessert.

Now I know I suck when trying to write in a female voice so I hope you get the drift of where I was trying to go.
