Pulling it off without alienating your audience is definitely not something you want to attempt unless you're absolutely confident you have the kahunas for it. This is an area where imitation can fall flat and usually does. Just go and try to act like Gary Vaynerchuk and tell me how that works out for you :) This does not however, mean you run a blog for profit; stick to the basics. If you're a celebrity it's likely you already know it internally and you don't need anyone to edify you. Otherwise, keep your business blog on topic.

Isn't personal blogging a means to connect with people which is also of primary importance in business relationship. Isn't it that trust is in a personal level regardless of the form of interaction. Isn't life itself that we live everyday is a business? I'm sorry but I don't understand the demarcation. :-) Interesting thought but I’m wobbling about agreeing and disagreeing.

When I review my posts before publishing them, I always ask myself if anything in it would make me appear less than professional to a first time reader. Although I realized a long time ago that not everyone is going to like me or my viewpoints, I'd like to believe that they could still appreciate my professionalism. Shevonne, Too many business people fail to take into consideration that their business blog (and website) can be a two-edged sword. Sure, it can bring more visitors, but depending upon the content and they way it's presented it has the capability of harming your business as much as helping. Chris,

It's always good to add a personal touch to your business blog, but not to the point where you are turning away potential clients. Agreed!
