I was reading a very interesting post over on Tumblemoose yesterday that got me to thinking, “what is my blog really about?” When I first started this blog my aim was to teach other people out there how to become successful ghostwriters and hopefully that is what I have managed to do. You can answer that for me in the comments section below if you like 
So I wanted my blog to be all about ghostwriting, how to find ghostwriting jobs, and how to be a successful ghostwriter. Looking back over the last 6 months blog posts I have come to realise that my blog doesn’t just deal with these three things. My blog has taken on a more personal feel and I now like to report on much more than just getting ghostwriting jobs. I want to incorporate more, give more advice, and cover more writing ground. I want my blog to be a place where readers come to be inspired about ghostwriting, to learn the good and the bad aspects of ghostwriting, and feel free to ask questions or make suggestions. The only way that I know how to do this is to become more personal with my readers. To share more tales about my working life and to provide more information than I have been doing.
If you had a question about ghostwriting that you would like to know, would you feel comfortable posting it here in my comments section? Do you think that I possess enough knowledge about ghostwriting to answer your question? Do you trust that I would answer your question honestly?
These are all really important questions that any blog owner should ask themselves. Do your readers trust you? Do they feel comfortable asking you questions?
There are so many blogs out there and many of them I feel are just there to promote a product or service. Do you want your blog to be like this or would you prefer to gain the trust and respect of your readers? I know which one I prefer, I want my readers to enjoy coming here, to want to read what I write and to feel confident that they can ask questions and get honest answers.
My focus for 2009 is to meet these blogging goals. What are yours?
Until next time,
Keep writing.

Amanda,
I think you are certainly on the right track. One of the things that attracted me to becoming a fan of yours is the personal writing style that you have. This gift makes me feel like when I come here, I just sat down at your kitchen table and was offered a cup of tea and asked how my day was.
Having such a personal style is the foundation for building the trust that you speak of.
By the way, I LOVE your site! From the tag line, to the design, to the navigation it’s all awesome.
Your partner in inspiration,
George
BTW, stumble and digg-worthy
Thanks George,
It’s always such an honour when another writer compliments your work, so a big thank you from me. I have been contemplating changing the design of my blog lately…might just re-think on that one now. Thanks
