		<description>blogs, are unique tools for communicators because they’ve made it possible for everybody to publish online. Although blogging seems to lend a much more amateur tone to communications thanks to the abundance of self-publishing software, professional communicators have been successfully utilizing them to promote their organizations.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately I probably agree that these type of stereotypes do come into play online.  It really shouldn&#039;t be this way offline or online but especially online as I judge people and blogs by the content they produce and their ability to communicate well.  However the old &quot;judging a book by it&#039;s cover&quot; still rings true for many people.  Despite this I believe it can be overcome, if you continue to produce quality content and information people will link to you and you will become popular nonetheless.  There may just be more of an initial hurdle to overcome.</description>

		<description>Hi Josef,
I absolutely agree that we shouldn&#039;t use any stereotypes as an excuse. But at the same time, I think it&#039;s important to acknowledge that they exist, to work against them, and to plan to overcome them. And yes, confidence is critical in the process. 
Thanks for your comments!</description>

		<description>no, I don&#039;t agree. It has everything to do with confidence and although there is nothing you can do to change some pplz minds on stereotypes, you wouldn&#039;t be attracting those types of ppl - anyway...unless

unless you focus on those types of people, and you will get more of those types of people.

I&#039;m a black 20 year old guy, and yet the number thing I noticed that made the difference for me was not my race. my age (or my good looks) - it was my confidence in my ability to make money online and my passion to help people make money online that got me to wher eI am today.

If stereotypes is something people are using as an excuse, I would say &quot;get a clue&quot;</description>

		<description>Great additional thoughts Linda!

I agree with you that it is the same as the offline world.  I know quite a few are saying that it doesn&#039;t matter online - but when it comes to the top levels of success, it does.  It clearly does.</description>
