Ways to Grow Your Blog Followers

Over the last few months, I have been experimenting to see what it would take to grow my blog followers and I’ve come up with some really great ways of doing this. After trying many different things, I have found the following list has helped me to grow my followers:

  • Share tips that are helpful
  • Ask for followers to comment and share your blog posts with others
  • Automatically have your blog update social networks
  • Incorporate Feedburner as my RSS manager
  • Apply SEO to blog posts
  • Invite guest bloggers to share their knowledge
  • Be consistent in sharing at least 3 times per week

This is just a starter list of what I’ve done to grow my blog followers. I would like to know what you have done to grow your blog followers so please feel free to share your insight.

Business Makeover: Setting Up Accountability Partners

Yesterday I made a business decision to ask for accountability partners as part of my business makeover. I sent a request out to Twitterville* and three of my tweeples** answered back to let me know that they would hold me accountable. The three who will be my acccountability partners are Latara (@LataraHamYing), Christine (@neosoulsister), and Dee (@deegospel).

Why did I ask for accountability partners? I did this so that I will have someone who would check on me to make sure that I’m following through with my plans. It is always important that you not only have a mentor, who will guide you in the right direction, but you also need accountability partners, who will hold you accountable to what you have decided to do. Having accountability partners is not something new but if you don’t have at least one, you are doing yourself a disfavor.

Business Makeover: Mission Possible

As I continue my business makeover, I’ve decided to look at my business like I’m on a spy mission and trying to determine who the enemy of my business is and destroy it. Realizing that if I don’t destroy the enemy of my business, it could have unrepairable damage. So… I decided to make a list of detailed and sometimes hard questions that will help me identify my enemy.

  • What have I done in the past that was successful?
  • What have I done in the past that was unsuccessful?
  • Where am I unfocused on in my business?
  • Do I have an identified target market?
  • Have I developed an Internet marketing plan that reaches my target market?
  • How am I monetizing my business websites?
  • Do I have areas in my business that are causing me to lose money?
  • When am I allowing myself to have down-time with my business so I… Continue reading →

Small Business: What Does It Take to Market Your Blog

Blog marketing can be quite complicated for anyone that has never even blogged before. If you are considering getting into small business blog marketing, you will want to first have a blog and see what that is like before you get into something more. Blogging requires dedication and patience. You have to update your blog on a regular basis in order to keep your readers happy. Doing so will keep them coming back for more and to see what you have new to say.

Small business blog marketing consists of blogging about your business. It definitely is a great tool that you should use to get your business out there and known by others. However, you will need to be patient because it is a long process that will require much of your attention. Just because you have a blog does not mean that someone is going to find it and read it.
