Get Your Strategy On
Make eye contact. Prove you’re talking to me.
Show your personality. Let me see your quirks.
Don’t reveal too much too soon. (That’s awkward.)
Compliment me…but make it sincere.
Be confident.
Ask questions. It proves you’re interested in me.
Create curiosity.
Dare me to try something new.
Don’t yell. Sometimes your whisper is more effective.
Anticipate some rejections, but don’t dwell on them.
Leave me wanting more.
(Now apply all of this to your blogging.)

Apply all of this to your blogging? That’s cool. But what about churches/pastors applying this to visitors?

Eye contact….or in blog’s case, eye candy? Speaking of, with the ‘graphical’ talent on your team, perhaps you could get some sweet eye candy for a header on your blog?? Just a thought…fan the romantic flame of your flirtatious blogging. …Hmmm… I can’t seem to find the smiley face icon that batts its eyes…hm…

“Don’t yell. Sometimes your whisper is more effective.”
Funny how that works in blogging.
