Help....
Can anyone give me some ideas of how to pick up other readers? I've done everything I can think of at the moment to get my blog "out there." Does anyone have any ideas? This is the first blog I've ever made, so I pretty much clueless! How do people find your blog? Do they have to search my name? Or do things I post about pop up in Google? WHAT?!!

Here are a few comment guidelines:
This is an open discussion, being so, I'm open to other people's opinions! However, please keep the discussion nice and if you'd like to critique something, please do it tactfully! I.E-instead of "I hate that outfit!" putting, "I think the outfit is a bit miss matched, however I like ___."

Hi, this is "Elinor Dashwood"! :-)
ReplyDeletePretty much the way to get readers is to comment on their blogs now and then and maybe follow their blogs; advertise in your forum signature; etc. That's how I find a lot of the blogs I follow. :-)
Looking to Jesus,
Elinor/Melanie :-)
That is excellent advice from Melanie, and the same I was going to offer. I hope you soon have more followers! :D

Corby Jane, I just zipped over to the webiste you suggested! Thanks so much! I will now be turning the music to "Off" unless clicked! He!He! Hadn't thought about it waking anyone!
ReplyDeleteElinor Dashwood: Thanks! I'll have to try that!
Gabrielle Renee: Thanks! Me too! Just trying experiement with things, we'll see where it leads!
I would agree with Melanie and Gabriella. ;) Visting other blogs and adding your voice to show your there, will make others curious to see just 'who' you are. :) May I also suggest a free editing program for your pictures? I have found that more pro. looking pictures are real eye-grabbers as well (I try to use it when I can ;) the free program can be found at Picnik.com just upload (after you make a quick and easy account) to the website and easily edit your pictures and add text if you like. :) I hope this helps!! Happy Blogging. :)
ReplyDeleteHi!

Basically, i think contests would drive more traffic to your site! There are websites for bloggers like.

And Remember! Dont give up........I did.
Beth Ann: I checked out the photo editing program! It was sooo awesome! I don't know that I would use it for my pics on here as I'm on dial-up and it took me like a half hour to load the page! YIKES! But it was fun once it loaded! Crazy how they can touch people up like that!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Thanks for checking my blog out! I don't know that I'm in a posistion to do any contests, but we'll see! Thanks for the suggestion!
Well I've only had mine a little while, but I tell you. I enjoy a fancy blog. I really like pictures!
ReplyDeleteSo #1 you might try going to something like "Cutest blog on the block" for a background and such.
Then I try to have at least one picture with every post. Even if you don't take it yourself. Go to Google images and find a little something.
Anyways Good Luck!
ehem... wow.. s'what I get for not letting pages load....
