Is everyone now blogging? It seems that it’s hard to find anyone who does not blog. (Well, actually, my mother doesn’t blog - yet!)
The popularity and simplicity of blogging has made it easy for everyone to do.
Whether you host your own blog or use one of the free blog hosting companies (www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.org spring to mind) the most important thing is to attract visitors.
If you don’t mind sharing your articles, you can provide an RSS feed to allow others to reproduce your content on their on blogs. This can provide you with links back to your own blog which visitors can follow.
Have your ‘ping’ services set up properly and your blog software will automatically notify the wider world whenever your post.
You can comment, appropriately and responsibly, on the blogs of others and hope that they leave such links live for others to follow back. NEVER try to post your own article on someone else’s blog unless you are invited to act as a guest blogger there!
Make use of the new service Entrecard to network with fellow bloggers and exchange advertisements with them. Also, register at www.blogrush.com and include their widget on your sidebar.
Register for a Twitter account (www.twitter.com) and with the Twitter plug in you can publicise your posts through the Twitter network .
Don’t just write an article and post it and hope for the best! Do what you can to ensure others have an opportunity to read your words - it’s all rather a waste of time otherwise!
