I think that Mrs M has a very interesting point… and I think I’d say that while you may lose some readers, I believe that you stand to gain stronger relationships with those that continue reading and that you’ll grow your readership to include others who know and love the real you!
But that said… I get where Mrs M is coming from. Seeing a photo or a video of someone after you’ve been reading their blog with only your own image of them in your mind can be like seeing a movie after you read the book. Disappointing.
But again, I think the losses are not as great as the potential gains.
However… Mrs M’s concern reminds me of a very important point…
Keep your video blogging in tune with the same tone as your written blogging. You will definitely lose readers if your blog is family friendly and suddenly you publish a video cursing and talking about sex. That would be very disappointing for your readers.
