How personal do you get in your blog?

[Jay Helms]

I've read the articles and many guidelines on being safe when blogging and not releasing any extremely personal details. I get that, but to help show my family is involved in our community, I'd like to post about some of our events/activities. So how much is to much? Obviously I'm not going to post DOBs, Passport photos, SSNs (the pedigree info) but I'd like to feel comfortable posting about my families hike down a certain trail without putting us at risk or being paranoid. So how much is to much? I'd love to see some examples and your feedback.

Nice question asked there Jay Helms . I started blogging last year and I've been asking myself this same question since then. Just like you said, it's very easy for some kind of paranoia to set in; however, I just do it. I've realized that overthinking and trying to come up with a "safe" story I usually gives me writer's block syndrome (which unfortunately lasts for at least 2 weeks) LOL

Our business is mainly lease options so what I try to do is relate my funny and cheesy life experiences to my lease purchase knowledge.

I'd advise that you just do what feels OK to you. My mentor says to me "your business is a secret, therefore you gotta put yourself and what you do out there"

I'd be glad to share my blog with you but I'm not sure we are allowed to post links on Bigger Pockets.
