I'm new to the blogging world and am thinking about creating a couple new blogs about other areas of interest that I have. How much time do you spend building relationships? I work full-time and am involved in a few other major efforts outside of work. How do you find time to really connect with the people that visit your blog, and how do you find time to write creative, interesting, and informative articles that will keep people coming back to hear you?

The thing that stuck out at me about your post was "insecurity". It's not that YOU are insecure but your writing reflected such. Always remember that a blog, comment or posts that you put out there are reflections of who and what you are. If you want others to turn to you for advice or guidance, always make sure that you come across as knowing what you are doing in this cyber world. You don't want to be known as saying "hey, hire me/retain me/etc." when in reality you yourself are unsure of what you're doing. "Fake it til you make it", you know? I've interviewed hundreds of people in my career so far and the handfuls I've hired have all displayed that trat (of faking it til you make it). I write a lot about that in my blog, but I will submit this ... who do you want to take advice from? Who would you like to hire? Who would you like to follow? When you can answer that question and confidently state "ME!!!", then you are ready. You already have the humility, now go get the assertiveness! :-) PS) "Exciting Entrepreneur" would be more fitting than "Aspiring" .... just a thought. Put out there what you WANT to be already, not what you currently are. Assume that the present is NOW. Who wants to hire an "aspiring" entrepreneur versus an "exciting" one? :-) Best of luck, Maggie Tiffany, Scott has a good point; “Hey… you’re the personal branding consultant — what would you advise yourself to do if you were your own client?”.

Hey... <em>you're</em> the personal branding consultant -- what would you advise yourself to do if you were your own client? You know it's funny, but sometimes we really don't put our own skill sets to use on our own problems. I constantly catch myself doing something I tell my clients not to do, or even more often, not doing something that I tell my clients to do. I have actually set a reminder for myself in Outlook for every Monday morning that says, "Are you following your own best advice?" Amazing how much that one little thing has helped me! > …figuring out what to call myself is a bit tricky.

These insights are incredible! I'll have to admit, as someone who's been blogging for years in the confined personal-life-friend zone of social networking sites where I was merely there to connect to people who already knew me, really digging in and getting my professional blog going has been a daunting process. I've had my domain name purchased since January, but just figured out how to get it mapped to my blog so I could start promoting it without having to give one of those "change your bookmarks, please" posts that I don't particularly appreciate. Anyway, these are great ideas. Though I'll have to admit, for someone who's in that 20-something, just starting zone, figuring out what to call myself is a bit tricky. I'll try a few out here and if you are enticed by any to click over to by blog, leave me a comment so I'll know what worked! And thank you, kind-and-more-experienced bloggers, for sharing your ideas and insights. I think it's up to bloggers with authority to help cream-of-the-crop ideas rise to the top of the blogosphere, especially in light of all the junk out there. Keep sharing!
