Content in the form of a diary is a yoblogger's weapon to hook his readers

Journaling is a type of content that helps you connect with your reader. It doesn't always work because you have to share something about yourself that is relevant to others.

Many people are embarrassed to talk about themselves. Others can't help but do it over and over again. Extremes are never good. If you have a blog, a middle path can be a good way to connect with your readers by talking about yourself.

Among bloggers there is a type that I have called “yoblogger”. As the name suggests, he usually writes stories in his blog where the main character is usually himself. In order not to seem egocentric, you can use a diary to give form and meaning to your anecdotes.
What is meant by “diary” in a blog?
In case anyone has forgotten or is coming to this blog for the japanese number phone first time, this is not an exact science. Blogging is a relatively new discipline of online marketing. In Spain, people have been writing about the subject for a few years, although there are now many bloggers who cover the subject as well (or better) than I do. The definition of a diary in the context of a blog is not the one you can read on Wikipedia, but my own interpretation:
A diary is a piece of content written in the first person where a blogger shares with his readers on a daily or weekly basis the progress made towards a specific goal.
The purpose of the diary is to connect with the reader beyond words. What we want is to make them want to know the next “episode.” It is a kind of soap opera but with less drama and more authenticity. A diary, like a series, can have an end at some point. This does not mean that the blog ceases to exist from then on. It is only an element. A type of additional content that gives it a certain special sauce.
How to hook the reader with the help of a diary
I repeat. The most important thing in a blog is not the visits but the readers. Your obsession should not be Google (it's hard, I know) but rather to build loyalty among those people who somehow come across your blog so that they can't stop reading you.
