Blogging
I am not one for blogging.
I did it while in India to keep my family and friends updated since
there was such a time difference. I do
not know what makes a blog successful because I am quite the novice. So, I decided to go to good ole Google and
search for articles on blogging. I went
to http://www.bloggingtips.com/2011/10/24/bring-new-readers-to-your-blog-by-comment-posting-in-early-days/
and learned that there are plenty of ways to boost your readership, but they
focused on comments and commenting early in the game. They suggest to not only search for content
on the like of Twitter and Facebook, but to also keep your content up to
date. They also mentioned timing your
comment for just the right moment. Try
not to be on a high traffic site because there is a high possibility that your
comment will be overlooked. Post a good
and productive comment, make sure that your link is visible, and keep the
conversation going. By paying attention
to when you post and what you post you can increase your readership quite a
bit.
The second article is about the top 100 blog tips from http://kisswebmaster.com/top-100-blogging-tips-all-time/. I like it just because its tagline is “keep
it simple stupid.” For some reason that
just warms my heart. The #3 tip is to
use WordPress. I feel like a loser
because I only use WordPress for my online portfolio. All my other blogs are on blogger. I wonder what this says about me as a
blogger. They also mention to blog
daily. I seriously do not know how
people can write a “new post” everyday. ..maybe I need to manage my time
better. Here are just a few of the tips
they provided:
2.
Learn about your Competitor Blogs and Improve
yourself
