Finding Interested People

-
     You faced the challenge and have written your first article. You gave consideration concerning what makes content interesting. The article you wrote speaks to the heart of the matter. Everyone that reads it is moved by it's subject. You're a shoe in for the New York Times Best Seller list. And it's likely that you'll be nominated for the Pulitzer. All that has to happen is for others to read it. So how's that going to happen? Get ready for some new challenges.

     First you must locate yourself on the readership map. You can't draw a route without a place to start. To determine this you will need to know a couple of things.
  • How many readers do you have now? 
  • How many readers do you want? 
  • How will you track the growth? 
  • How long do you expect it to take? 
     Don't think you can get by without answering those questions.  You must answer them before moving forward.  You must write them down. If you don't know how to, hire someone who can. Now you are ready to start mapping your route. Here are the stops that you need to include as far as your readership.

  • Create a list of current friends, neighbors and clients. 
  • Send everyone an email announcing your blog. 
  • Send them an announcement each time you post a new article. 
  • Do this for the first month. After that, they should know if they want to be subscribed or not. 
  • Search for similar blogs.  Comment on them ONLY if they are interesting. Do not inttrude. 
  • Search for similar businesses and comment on their sites. 
  • Search for places where you can post content for free.
  • Search for places you can guest blog. 
Advanced Methods
  • Automate four Twitter announcements for each blog. 1 per quarter for the next year.
  • Automate four Facebook announcements for each blog. 1 per quarter for the next year.
  • Automate four Google+ announcements for each blog. 1 per quarter for the next year.
  • Automate four LinkedIn announcements for each blog. 1 per quarter for the next year.
This is what you will need to track.
  • Check the status of your progress twice a week. You want to check to see if the number of subscribers has increased as well as how many views the page has each day.

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?
