What is this ONE key element many people miss when writing a blog post?  It may seem like a simple idea, but it is essential when putting your posts together and that is, talk to your reader as you would like a face to face conversation.  Network marketing is about relationships and you can’t develop a true one by talking to them as just a number out there.  In any business if your treated like just another number to them and not a valued customer, you look elsewhere for service.  This same concept applies in network marketing.  So when you write, use words like “you”, “your” and so on.  Don’t use words like “we”.  Also, if you come off to salesy or pitchy, you are going to loose your readers and visitors to your site.

One of the things that helps me when putting together a post, is to visualize your reader as they were right there in front of you having a day to day conversation.  Just write like you would talk.

So think about this the next time your in front of your computer getting ready to post some great content.  If you continue to write as if your reader is just another number to you, you are going to miss the boat.

P.S. If you want some more great tips and tricks to using blogging in your network marketing business, I would highly recommend getting these free videos from the #1 blogger in our industry, Ty Tribble.

I have been posting for a while about business topics, so I thought I would share with you something from my personal life that means a lot to me.

I know some people get annoyed by listening to the “older” generation, but I find it very interesting if you ask them about their life and the things they have been through.  Once this generation is gone, so are their stories, unless they are documented.  I know there are thousands of books out there that talk about the different wars, the depression and how life was.  Although these books have stories about real life situations, you are only reading it.  Just think if you could actually listen to them, face to face.  It will certainly catch your attention.  Now take that mentality and apply it to your family.  I am thankful and blessed to have both my parents and one grandparent still around.  This story is about my grandma of 80+ years old.  She is an amazing person and filled with tons of stories about how life was when she was a kid, how she met my grandpa, how they lived and stories about my Dad and his childhood.  If you are fortunate enough to have your grandparents still around, ask them sometime about things you are curious about.  They love to tell the stories, so just kick back, relax, listen and soak it all in.  If you never ask, their stories are gone. 

Ok, enough babbling and to my point.  My uncle has been on my grandma about writing a short “book” of her stories about her life, his life and his brothers and sisters, which includes my Dad.  Well, she finally did it and it is finished.  It was hand written by her and then typed up by my uncle.  He put her picture on the front of when she was a teenager, put report covers on front and back and then bound it together on the edge for a really nice “book.”  He had copies made to hand out to family.  Although it is only about 25 pages, it is very interesting to read.  It really shows where some of my family values and ethics came from.  She is now working on the second edition that will focus more on her kids and the stories about their childhood, again this includes my Dad, so I’m excited to read this one when it’s ready.  I just wish we could have come up with this idea when all of my grandparents were still here.

I’ll keep it short, but I just wanted to share this idea with you and hopefully you and your family can utilize this idea to capture many memories.

To your success and best of luck,

Largent
