Think of language and stories that would fit a face-to-face equivalent of your blog, be creative with how your niche applies to real life, and don't be afraid to let some of your personality show - imagine someone is in your office and you are trying to connect with them.

I've only been blogging for about three months and still don't have much traffic. I'm presently doing mostly solid content and SEO with keywords. I'm really wanting to be less formal and let my readers get to know me, but worry about the effect on rankings by doing so. I also want to help small business owners, but to identify and improve their marketing with target markets, rather than moving online.
