The most successful blog posts are those where the writer has tuned into something that the reader has experienced.

Kenneth, I appreciate your thoughts and your kind words.

I have been thinking a lot about the difference between manipulation and influence. It’s very subtle and we marketers have to be very careful because both depend on reaching people on an emotional level. I’ll probably write a post on the topic!

The big, big problem here is that we can measure traffic and SEO directly but not so much for influence. Some people would actually use that statement to support just doing the same old, same old. We have such a love for measurability that we fail to embrace the vastly more powerful thing that is influence. Google Analytics can’t give you a number for that.

The next problem is there are those who embrace what they think is influence, but it is really just manipulation. Tugging at the heartstrings with bad intent is indeed emotional but it is a dangerous tactic.

So keep up the good work of championing influence, Ilana, true influence. The hawkers and the hucksters will be left in the dust.

Completely, agreed. There is nothing more important than compelling content that satisfies our selfish nature and that which fills any void, whether it be simple curiosity or need.

I think your last two paragraphs are weak. You had my interest but then you didn’t tell me the secret sauce, you allude to it, you given an example of posts that supposedly have this secret sauce, but then you say things like “It’s not realistic to think that you can create a moving piece of writing every day.” It seems your post is an example of the bait and switch so prevalent among social media and online marketing experts. You write a headline, you tweet, it gets retweeted, people start reading only to end up disappointed.

We haven’t made a connection. I didn’t subscribe to your RSS feed, I didn’t follow your on Twitter. I didn’t retweet this. Some people seem to produce content because they have to rather than because they have something important to say or a true passion for the topic.You seem to aspire to something more than you managed to achieve. I’m not sure blogging when you are upset is the best advice to give especially in corporate blogging/online marketing circles.

Dara,

Thanks for adding your thoughts and for your kind words. It’s a nice idea to add that the content must be unique and if you are connecting in your individual voice and from the “heart” of the brand to your readers, it will be. That’s an even higher level of branding.
