I’m going to pick up at day 3 of the 31DBBB Challenge with The SITS Girls.
Yeah, I’m still behind.
The day 3 challenge is about promoting your posts. I always promote posts through Twitter, Facebook and my Facebook Fan page. I get a pretty good response from that. I haven’t really tried Digg or Stumble Upon. I do have accounts there, but I don’t use them much. I’m going to give them a try this week, and see if it helps.
The day 4 challenge is analyze a successful blog in you niche.
I don’t feel right posting observations or critiques of other’s blogs, so I’m going to keep that one to myself. This was a helpful exercise though. Looking at more successful blogs is inspiring, and helps generate new ideas.
The day 5 challenge is email a blog reader. I try to do this when I reply to a comment they leave. I used to have a plug in that did it automatically, but it isn’t compatible with my current template. Interaction with readers is important since community and discussion is, I think, the main drive behind blogging. I’ve been a little lax about interacting lately, because I’ve been busy. But I know from past experience that it makes a difference when it comes to keeping loyal readers. I need to set some times aside for this.
The day six challenge is to read 27 Must Read Tips and Tutorials for bloggers. I’m going to have to come back to this one. I don’t have time to read all of that tonight.
And now on to day 7. That one’s going to need it’s own post.
