Blog Networking Tips::: jahid-tips.blogspot:::
- Be receptive to new people. Sometimes I get the feeling that certain people would rather stick to their current social circle than consider inviting anyone new in. If you want to make connections and get your blog noticed by more people, I think you have to be willing to meet new people.
- Networking does not mean spamming. Don't just think you can plaster your link all over every forum and social networking site and that you'll suddenly become an overnight superstar. If you come across as a spammer, most people won't give you the time of day.
- Patience is a virtue. Did you just publish your latest post? Great! Did anyone read it? Well, how long has it been? 1 hour? Many people will need a few days to find and digest your post - don't expect everyone to be all over it within 5 minutes.
- Look for ways to cross-promote. Join a blogging forum, talk about blogging. Join a music forum, talk about music. What if you have a music blog? You can join both forums!
- Passive interest can be very valuable. This means joining a forum and adding a link to your signature, or including a link in your email signature. If people want to check out your blog, they can do so. No need to push it on them.
- Beware of time wasters. If a site promises to bring you loads of traffic but you have to work like mad to get anything at all, you may want to think about whether that site is a worthwhile use of your time. It's probably not.
- You can network offline, too. Why not bring up your blog in conversation, if it's relevant to do so? I have friends and family who read my blog, whether I like it or not!
- The most loyal readers can come from unusual places. You may be so busy trying to get people to visit your blog that you missed some of the best ways to network. Try different sites - draw your own conclusions - and don't write off a potential networking opportunity before you've tried it out.
- Read other blogs. It's a great way to see what others are saying, and you can get into some good discussions, too. Add a comment if you have something to say.
- Don't overdo it. If you're networking more than you're blogging, you may need to adjust the balance. It's all too easy to get sucked into Twitter, Facebook, forums and the like, but there's a time and a place to close them and do something else.
