Comment on Getting Personal – Open Up to Let Your Readers In by Mike Hale

Dan – Thanks for the comment and for sharing the original post I mentioned! I think it’s always nice to know that you aren’t the only one facing a particular challenge. There’s going to be bumps in the road. I have the philosophy that life balances out in the end. I can track every good thing that’s happened in my life to something bad that happened before it (and vice versa)!

Mike,

Thanks for including me in your post. I am very glad that you found my story valuable. As I said in the post that I wrote, my battle with illness lead me to make a promise to myself that I wouldn’t keep things hidden when sharing them could make things so much better. People can learn so much from each other if we would simply share more of ourselves.

Thanks again, and aren’t wives named Kari just the best?

Thanks! I agree 100%. Focusing on an area is a great idea, but you shouldn’t constrain yourself to just your niche if you can provide something of value to your readers!

Mike, great examples! Niche marketing is so important, but it’s also important to demonstrate expertise in the greater field. Thanks for the great post.

Thanks Dave! Just feels to me like the autopilot approach is trying to take the easy way out.

Thanks! I think really boils down to there isn’t one right way of doing anything. Yeah, manual is more work, but your followers know it has the “Seal if Approval” from you!

Mike, what a post!

Absolutely amazing and I couldn’t agree more. Kirsti is a perfect example of questioning her doing constatnly to create the most value for her followers and well worth quoting her, the post she wrote really made me think.

Ok, I have this post Buffered a few times for sure!

Mike, you have it exactly right in my opinion. It’s not the automation, it’s the autopilot.

The entire reason I *don’t* even schedule anything, much less hook up feeds, is that I’m *not* interacting on Twitter at the moment. I do tweet and RT people here and there, after I’ve read the article. But without the interaction, I feel the same way you do, automation would be autopilot, and I don’t want to do that.

Thanks for including me in your post! I think the big fear of the manual way is that yes, it will take more time and yes, there will be times where you have a little “dead air” when you can’t get to internet or wifi access. But it’s been going so far, so good, and people can at least know that if they see me tweet a link, I’ve been there, reviewed it, and given it the virtual thumbs up!
