PR Version of You

“As artists, we know that creating

something means opening up the

vulnerable places inside us.

Blogging is no different.”

-Rachel, FlyTribe

friendship

see real you

person behind the product

feel less alone

have a conversation

learn/laugh/feel

“I think the nicest thing someone ever

said about my blog is that sometimes

I make them laugh, sometimes I

make them cry, but I always make

them feel something.”

-Jules, pancakesandfrenchfries.com

Deciding What to Share

“Here’s the thing: you’re not looking

for everyone to read your blog, just

the people who believe what you

believe and who resonate with you in

the way you say it.”

-David, davidrisley.com

“I expose who I am and I care that I am

exposed. I realize that blogging is

much like living. It opens us up to

criticism, correction, appraisal and

encouragement.”

-Marilyn, marilynjread.blogspot.com
