New Blogger Talk And Tips

Are you a passive blogger?Do you network with other bloggers?Do you join forums?Do you join Social Media or Social Networking sites?

Being a passive blogger is not good for you,especially for your blog.You must communicate with other bloggers so that others will know you exist and it will help expose your blog,but there are ways in communicating with other bloggers and make sure you follow this simple guide line so you won't irritate other bloggers.

You must always remember that by doing all this is not just about yourself,about what you want to gain,though sadly most of the time it is about personal gain.It is not just about driving traffic to your blog,but creating genuine networking and friendship for the long term benefit of your blog.Be honest whether in forums,giving comments or in social networking sites.By being a good member,you will benefit in the long term,you build strong relation with other bloggers,help them promote their blog,and they will surely help promote yours.

Socialize and remember to socialize the right way.

It is quite disturbing to see the trends in forums now,especially from new members.They use forums to advertise their product or service,or just to promote their blog,this is what spam is all about.Most of them are too eager to show off their blog that they don't even bother to read the rules set by the administrator of the forums.Some just being ignorant to what forums is suppose to be.These are three current trend that I see in forums these days.

Comments.

Forums and comments are two things that can certainly help boost traffic to your blog,or website,but only if you do it right.If you're doing like what I said above in forums,do you seriously think people would want to visit your blog or website over and over again?We are not talking just any visit,but people who like your blog and would certainly come back to read,even subscribe to it,unless the thing you only care about is the number on the counter of your blog.Leaving comments on other blogs meaning you leave your signature,your calling card.By reading your comment,the blog owner will feel intrigue to get to know you,what kind of blog you have.If you comment I like your post..Nice blog..Very good..what does that tells you?If you ask me,I will simply say this guy is doing it simply because he reads somewhere you have to comment on other blogs to get traffic.It is not only about traffic,it is about networking,about friendship.Do you want the only traffic from that particular blog owner or you want to build friendship and later build a network of traffic from that blog to yours?If you build a good relationship with certain blog owners,giving insightful comments and your own blog itself is interesting,I won't be surprised if you will start getting that blog readers to yours.

Forums and comments can help increase traffic to your blog,but you must do it the right way,take your time to do it,build your reputation and credibility in forums,build relationship with other blog owners.All this takes time,but you will certainly find the results very satisfying.People can judge who you are by reading your forum post,your comments and by visiting your blog so don't let all this ruined your online reputation that you only just started to build.

For a new blogger like me..nope..I don't consider myself a blogger yet,because I'm still new at this..I think a blogger is someone who has been blogging long enough to have an own audience,a reputable blog and making money from it!I think I'll just consider myself a new guy with a blog.I rephrase that..For a new guy with a blog,the most important thing is to get the blog expose to a bigger and larger audience as possible,with a hope by doing this,the blog can attract readers to it and become loyal readers.Having a good blog with good quality content won't mean much if the one reading it everyday is just your mom,your family and friends..and of course your girl or boyfriends.(My mom don't know I have a blog,so does my family and friends,so that just leave me with one loyal readers everyday,that is my girlfriend :-) and I think she's the only one who subscribe to my blog so far).So what do I do to expose my blog to a bigger and larger audience?

This Is What I Did.

Any other way to expose it?

BlogUpp.

Before I start,just want to get this clear.

OK..most of you might be familiar with BlogRush or EntreCard.BlogUpp works almost in the same way but I think with greater benefits.By simply looking at the de facto exchange ratio comparison we can see why.

This data is from BlogUpp website and you can check it up here.It certainly shows that BlogUpp give the best exchange ratio of 10:9,that is for every 10 readers to your blog,your blog will be shown to 9 readers on other blog.Nice isn't it?

Here is some facts about how it works and you can always check about BlogUpp by visiting their website.

I wanted to expose my blog and I'm using it now.The best part is,I found out about BlogUpp through a thread in one of the forums I joined.Exposing your blog by joining forums and finding more ways to expose it from there!That is why I like forums,you can expose your blog,find interesting blogs,find about new things and it will help you to improve your blog.

Have a look at BlogUpp and give it a try.

There is a reason why I ask this question.No..it is not because I face this problem,and I do hope and pray that this will not be a problem to me in the future because it can bring some effect to my blog and have to make me think back if this is certainly the things I want and love to do.

The Reason I Start Blogging.

Before I start about the title of my post,lets just share a few things.I started blogging early this month,not with this blog,but with another that I started because I was thinking of making money with it.After two weeks doing it,I found out that it is not that what I really want.No..I didn't stop and abandoned it after just two weeks,instead I still write my post once in every two days just like when I started it,the only difference I made is in the content.Rather than writing about how to make money online,I write about things you must expect if you want to make money online,and reminding people not to become victim of scams that make believe you can make money fast and easy online.

The Reason People Start Blogging.

When I see other people blogs,I look for when it was started,how frequent the posting was,what the blog is about,the quality of the post,what is there on the blog.Through all this,I came up with this three reason why people start a blog and keep on blogging.

Do You Have Problem To Write A Post?

I came across this girl problem in one of the forum I joined.She ask if any one can gave her any suggestion on what to write on her next post.Two things come to mind immediately.

I respond because of the first,and I will give my view on the second later.I view her blog.Looks nice to me.Her latest post was about her thoughts on something,what interest me is the variety of her posting.It is a new blog,she has post about a movie review,book review and other things.I think she hasn't decide what her blog should be before she started it,and by looking at it,I think she is trying to imitate what other blogs is about,and try to squeeze it into her blog.There is nothing wrong about it,but looking back at her question,and looking at her blog,I think she must look back at the reason why she started her blog.

The reason you start a blog will actually have an impact on what you will achieve with it.

What People Will Do Just To Get Attention(And Traffic)

People join forums for a lot of different reason,but most of all is to get traffic by exposing yourself and your blogs to other forum members.Some would do just anything to gain this,by posting simple question like that girl did,by replying to as much thread as possible,and in the shortest of time(They hope people will look up to them because of the number of post/their status in forums),self promoting threads(Some forums doesn't allow this and you will be banned),and so much more.Join one and you will know what I mean.

One thing that I see most people forget is,you won't have such a big problem to drive traffic to your blogs.You can have any approach,with or without ethical value,its up to you,and you will see results.But what is the point of driving thousands of traffic if you don't have anything to show?Most people that are seriously trying very hard to drove traffic to their blogs,or websites are people involve in making money programs,because the Guru's taught them TRAFFIC = MONEY!What a lie and who would be a fool to believe this.Traffic means people VISITING your site,if you cannot turn them into CUSTOMERS,you don't get MONEY!If your site are just like thousands or millions other site promoting the same thing,what makes you think you are different,and that people will buy or join from your site?

Blogs are about content,and people everyday are looking for contents that interest them,can add value to their life,or to the knowledge they already have.If you can provide this,and provide it consistently,then you will have TRAFFIC and LOYAL READERS.

I certainly have to thank that girl,because of her forum post,I can make a post to my blog today!Just my point of adding how looking at things you do daily can provide source for your blog.
