How to Blog Professionally Part 2
If you read other blogs in the niche that you choose. It is very important. It keeps you up to date on the latest news in your niche and will give you an idea for post. If a feed reader is good way to go, then try it. I would also recommend reading problogger.net for more tips on making money blogging. Well the thing is that when you have a lot of people talking—who is listening? It is important to participate inside the community but it is also important to participate in a targeted fashion.
You know, I am just an information junky—I am constantly consuming, constantly trying, constantly trying, constantly learning and so my path is, anything that can help me in my professional career, in my personal life. Yes, I am interested in technology but I am more interested in how technology impacts our lives and how technology impacts your career, even if it is not in technology but it makes a good point. Knowing what the rest of your particular community is talking about is important.
But sometimes as walking into somebody else community and being silent for a while and just observing, is equally is important.
Number two—do comment on other blogs in your niche. This will help, you get your name out and drive traffic to your blog, newsflash and cool postmen is not a comment. Comments are well written tips relating the post or an answer with the question in the post rather comment, it is conversation, this is why I think a lot of blogs and blog commenter is why and where they are fall short. They may have an amazing tip, but it does not related to them directly as their name or their identity on that site or throughout the internet, then sometimes it gets lost and affray. And that is a big issue that I think certainly bloggers are going to after us and leave comments and bloggers are going to have to rest of what it ties back to you in the value that your providing and the experience that you are sharing in any particular blog post, whether you are writing it or whether commenting it, you know.
I am now collecting quite a few very useful comments in my blog post and it is not because I beg for them but I ask, and sometimes that is all you got to do is ask, “Well, what do you think?” Or post a question, you will absolutely be surprised at how much more you will get from your audience if you ask direct questions instead of leaving it up to them to decide whether they are not to going to leave a comment or not.
Number one—do not rush in to it, plan ahead. It is privacy is the most important thing when you start a new blog. Chose a name for your blog, get a domain, get it designed and get hosting. I would also recommend writing a couple of post to get you started, do all this before you launch. Also bunch in a little money, you will need for a hosting and you may want to buy advertising. Remember blogging is big commitment. It takes a lot of time to run a good blog. He note here where he felt short, I did not plan ahead, I did not get hosting, I used a free host I did not get a design, I was still designing the blog and I often do it. And I did not comment on other blogs.
There is so many other things out there you can say about blogging, you suggest some things that stood our for me to learn much more, you go to Google’s search blogging tips or ask other who are hanging out in the chat room. They are probably bloggers as well. He happens to be at flight.thumbler.com, Thomas.
I have always said this, it is more important as a blogger if you label yourself at, it is more important for you to be outside your own blog than concentrating on your own blog. It is much more important to look at how you are interacting in the community rather than what you are doing here. Because the only way of getting people to pay attention to what you are doing here is by doing things out here.
