Everyone is looking for new readers for their blog! I don’t care if you’re getting 1 million unique visitors a day, you are still looking for ways increase your reach across the internet! So I am going to take a quick look at 10 easy ways that you can find new readers for your blog.
What I did to find these blogs was to do A LOT of blog hopping, where I’d visit the commenter of one blog, then the commenter of that blog etc etc, and this chain would lead me to niche blogs that I would not normally visit! Become active outside of your niche!
For me, being in the internet marketing/MMO/ blog about blogging niche, I focus on webmaster forums. The pick for me is Digital Point because the community is massive and they have a link to you latest blog post from each post you make on the forum!
There is no need to pay for SEO services, the keys to generating search engine traffic from your blog posts is:
A lot of bloggers are busy and would love a hand to lighten the posting load. This is your opportunity to show other bloggers readers why they need to be reading your blog also. One thing thought, do not right about you and your blog. Provide quality content that will benefit your host blog as well.
A few blogs I have guest posted on are:
There are a lot of differnt types of contests so here are a few to get to you thinking:
The reason they do this is because people love getting things for free and if the ebook is something that interests them then they will quickly give up their email address to get it! And most bloggers know that people are usually way to lazy to take the time to unsubscribe to things!
Andrew Hanson wrote a great post about success in article marketing – where he tells us of a friend that has had over 200,000 article views! Read it here…
Well hopefully that should keep you all going for a while! Those are my 10 tips to get more readers, but I would love to know what you do. Especially if you have had success in social bookmarking!
Well after the success of last sundays question, I am giving you all another chance to give me your thoughts on a topic! Sounds fun right?
Well I am sure the majority of us all stuggle with getting things done, as it never feels like their are enough hours in the day. So today we are going to look at the race against time! And what we can do to make sure we get all the things we plan done.
So I’ll throw it out there:
What do you do to win the race against time and get everything done you plan to do in your day?
Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts!
Wow! I can already feel the glaring eyes of all my readers, but give me a chance to justify myself! I have been blogging for over a year now and reading blogs for even longer that that. In this time it has given me a great chance to watch how bloggers act, react and interact, and there are a few things that I have noticed that are common among most bloggers – that may not necessarily be good.
Here are 5 attributes that most bloggers have that annoys me!
To be successful at blogging you have to put in the hard work with quality posts and being active in your niche! AND YOU NEED TO BE CONSISTENT! Blogging success doesn’t come over night, but it will if you stick around long enough!
Why is it so hard for us to understand that not everyone is going to agree with us? That is the beauty of such a diverse world! How boring would life be if everyone agreed about everything?
I would like to think that as bloggers we are the ones setting the pace, we are being creative and unique. Why are we so busy following the latest trend to make use of our freedom of speech. I remember when pretty much everyone would make a post about how much John Chow was earning the day after he released his monthly earnings. Now I know that it is a great encouragement to find out that this money is able to be made blogging, but does everyone need to stop writing quality posts to blog about how much someone is making?
Be your own person. Blog about what you’re thinking. Take new territory! That is what blogging should be. Leave the rehashing for ezine articles!
Think how much more successful all our blogs would be if we truly caught a hold of the power of networking?
It could be cause it all gets too much. It could be they run out of ideas. Maybe they don’t see the vlaue since the money isn’t rolling in. Either way a lot of bloggers quit right before it seems like their blog is about to explode.
This blog post was one of those write before you think posts I recently talked about, and now looking back I can see that I am or have been guilty of all of these points at one stage.
What do you think? What is it about bloggers that drives you up the wall? I’m sure we all would love to hear your thoughts!
When Jason has written suh a killer post! :P
I don’t usually do this, but I was doing my regular rounds of blogs yesterday and when I hit TheUniversityKid.com I came across Jasons latest article called:
Step By Step Guide To Promote Your Own Webmaster Products
He shares a fantastic way for bloggers to make money selling their own products and it has really challenged me to look at ebook creation and list buildling.
I highly recommend you head over their and check it out, and I’ll have a full post ready for you tomorrow!
I don’t know if any of you were like me but when I first had this thought I had to stop and think about it for a second. How many of us call ourselves bloggers yet cant even really define what a blog is?
I mean when my friends ask me what a blog is I usually say something like:
Ok, maybe I carried them on a bit, but do you see where I am coming from? I mean what does BLOG stand for?
So I decided to do a bit of research on the topic. I mean if I want to call myself a blogger then I should know what one is right? So I went to google and entered
‘What does blog stand for?’
And it seems likes it’s not just me who wanted to know what it really meant! After seeing that alot of people were asking the question, I was quite confident that at least one of the search results would have had a decent answer. I WAS WRONG!
Every single answer to the question: ‘What does blog stand for?’ came back with the same result…
It is an abbreviation of Web Log (weB LOG for those of you who are a little slow :D)
I mean seriously I already knew that much, but the answers never seemed to take the question any deeper and the people asking the question seemed satisfied – but not me! I decided to keep researching to find myself a definition now for ‘Web Log’. So as usual I went straight to the source of all knowledge. GOOGLE!
And from my search I found a great way to get multiple definitions of any word. In the Google search box type ‘Define:[insert word here]‘
Anyway using this method here are just a few was a blog (or web log) is defined:
is an online diary used by an author to share information on a particular subject at regular intervals. – www.broadband-guide.org.uk/jargon-buster.html
A web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author. - sam.dev.uen.org/core/edtech/glossary.shtml
Also known as a blog and is normally a personal Web Page that allows the public to read a personal journal for an individual. As of late businesses and entrepreneurs have been using them to create paying web page businesses or market their wares and services – www.leadsales.net/adtermsexplained.htm
What I m reading from this is probably the same as a normal person could have worked out by just observing, but here are my thoughts on ‘What does Blog stand for?’ and more importantly ‘What is a blog?’
Those are just my initial thoughts from those definitians and I am not saying that either blogging to journal your thoughts or blogging for money is wrong – I am just trying to define it!
Feel free to shoot my deductions out of the ground as you share what you think a blog is!
