Alex - In general I find that people like to buy from friends, but I can see your point about personal stuff. Are they at least giving you referrals? If not, you should ask them (nicely) to help you out. Tom - I'm not sure how to address your comment, I don't think transparency is a technical issue if that's what you mean. ;-) Have a great day! Shawn All – thanks for all of the great comments.

Be the real you if you want to retweet then retweet if you want to make a sarcastic comment then do it (try not to go to far ;) ) If your writing style is crappy who cares! I think the problems with blogging and social media tools is that people try to change their personality to something they 'think' people would like to connect to, which is wrong! 'Transparency' it's a good one, going to have to make my own post along these lines, Thanks!

In my last business as a Professional Organizer my clients who were friends mostly became friends after being clients. There's something that seems to stop people from buying stuff from friends, especially in the Professional Organizing or Personal Growth industry - opening up one's clutter or lack of dreams situation is just too embarrassing for many people and they would rather go to a stranger than to someone close. So how to create trust and a sense of closeness on a blog that keeps people at that slight distance needed to convert them to clients?
