And you want others to read your blog? Well here are some handy things I did for my blog:
1. Post about it on Facebook/Twitter. Its ok to be a little shameless.
2. Email family and friends just about your blog and that they should bookmark it
3. Join the blogging community.. there are bajillions of blogs, so just start finding some that you really enjoy and comment and read often.. you get to know others and they will be more likely to stop by your blog.
4. Have some sort of specialized topic that you talk about sometimes.. the posts I do with books or video clips always get the most visitors, as well as the ones that recommend stuff, or talk about some pertaining to an area.. Idk I guess just pick some stuff and consistantly talk about it.. not all the time but more than not.. if that makes sense.
5. Be specific, when you mention a service or product and your opinion, mention the name
6. Dont obsess over your ratings.. blog for yourself, not for others, just have fun, write what you want, and if you are enjoying yourself, people will take notice.
