I tried my hand at the 'fake' blogs when I was being taught the ins and outs of affiliate marketing. You know the ones, the "I used to have xxx problem until I found this xxx product and now I'm all better... " type blogs. I have to say, I sucked at them lol. I can't force what I'm not passionate about. The same thing with the over the top sales letters etc, I just can't do it. My personal blogs however, based around gaming previously, always did really well. So recently, I decided to put the "me" part of my blogging I've used in the past and combine it with the whole 'internet marketing' scene and I have to say, it's just sooooo much easier. My approach to blogging is different to most of the other IMers out there, but from the few people who have seen it so far, I've received really wonderful feedback. And all because my posts are 100% me... Great reminder to all writers out there (not just bloggers IMO)... - Melani .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://affiliatespam.com/2009/12/the-magic-code-oooooh/">The “Magic Code”… Oooooh</a> =-.

McKnight, BFA, LLMSW --> You're exactly right. You might have the best product in the world, but people aren't going to purchase it from you if they don't like you. You've got to make people feel comfortable first. I'd rather buy a product from my good friend than from a random stranger. So let's make everyone feel like we're friends. Diane M.

I also believe that people buy products and services from people that they trust and like. The products and services must also be top-notch, but no matter how good the products are I still believe that people respond to the individual and that repeat business is created by trust and relationships.
