Good tips for bloggers
Jeremy from “Till He Comes” has written a guest post for ProBlogger called “Want More Readers? Read More Blogs.”
I thought I would share some of Jeremy’s suggestions with you, since most of my readers also publish their own blogs.
In reality, most of these points can be boiled down to this: care about people and listen to what they say.
Here are Jeremy’s tips:
- Read your own blog
- Read your readers’ blogs
- Comment on other people’s blogs
- Repost excerpts from the blogs of others
- Repost the comments of others
Of course, I think all this (i.e., building an interactive blogging community) depends first on writing good and new content.
Plus, I think Jeremy has illustrated another tip: You can get people to check out your blog by writing guest posts for another site.
Jump over to Jeremy’s article and read this very good post!
When I wrote this guest post, you were one of the people I had in mind. I think you do these things better than any blogger I know.
And yes, Guest Posting is great. I have found a few places that actively seek Guest posting…ProBlogger.net and TheOoze.com are two. Do you know of others?
More readers is one objective of a blog. There are others. So my tip is to understand your purpose.
Jeremy,
I saw that on your blog. Thank you very much for the kind words. Have you tried the New Wave ezine? There may be other ezines as well.
Pondero,
I agree completely. Attracting more readers is way down on my list of priorities. But, it is good to keep in mind.
