Take the Challenge
I read on a professional blog somewhere that one of the best ways to build readership is to network. Network, network, network. I just returned from Blissdom and I’m excited by all the social networking information that I was able to allow to seep into my little brain portal.
I met some bloggers that I thought were big time glass house bloggers making tons of money. And, they weren’t. I met some bloggers that were more down to earth than any one I’ve ever met and they were 6 figure earners.
But, the common theme is network network network. Then, last night in a big twitter party called #gno (girls night out), I happened to mention my goal of commenting on at least 50 blogs a day. It isn’t easy and if you have a lot of other things going on in your life, I suggest your start with a lower goal than 50. I started with 30 and worked my way to 50.
So, here’s where I issue this challenge:
Look at your feed reader, choose a number of blogs that you can realistically read and comment on at least 5 days a week, and then set that goal. It’s important to remember that just because you miss one day doesn’t make it a failed experiment. It’s like weight loss, just pick up the next day and start over.
If you are up to the challenge, sign up with Mr. Linky so I can make sure you are in my feed reader.*
*I must say that I normally choose blogs for comments by finding blogs that have less than 10 comments when I read the post. That doesn’t mean you have to do that as well, you can pick and choose as you please, it just makes it nice for those of us who do not get many comments to see them there. Casey from Moosh in Indy said it best when she said, “I take each comment and suck on it”. Yea, what she said.

Well, goodness gracious! What were we doing talking about potty training when I should have been asking you how you write 10,000 blogs at once!
You must be one of the quiet but rich ones : )
It was nice chatting with you!

I guess you were just wishing I would be quiet. Then, I write that novel. I’m getting sleepy early tonight and it’ never good dleep and blog. I enjoyed your perspective on the anel by the and in all honestly, asking someone how much money they make is like asking their age or if they are pregnant when they are not. so, I think folks wee surpried. I work hard at my blogging. I have 2 kids and I try to what I need to do around their scheudle events around here. I’ve promised myself that I will cut bac on my computer time rom 4 til bedtime, which in this house 7:30….but I’m still catchig up and recuperating from Blissdom. I have done my duty and done homework with the 6 year ols…and Iit’s not bad at least one word he had to sound out on thislist…gh.
