How to become more powerful in the blogosphere In my opinion blogs are just in their beginnings. It seems obvious to me that most people will want a place on the web where they can publish whatever they want. Especially as blogging tools become better and better at handling different kinds of media.
Still, the act of telling people about the blog you have can be kind of an awkward social interaction. The easiest solution to this is to leave comments in the online space. Most comment areas have a little field where you can leave a URL. So leave some comments on the blogs that you read. If your blogging yourself presumably you can also share some opinions on the things that you find interesting enough to read. I am sure that most people like getting comments, and you get to let your online presence be known at the same time.
My experiences with Lux have taught me that having a popular and well-linked website is a valuable asset. As the online world continues to grow don't you want your address in it to known and for your influence to grow as well? Then tell people about your blog, share your opinions with the world. Get the URL out there.
8 comments | Interesting. I think it depends on your motivation for having a blog, though. If someone's using it to share their opinions something, they're probably already leaving comments and directing people their way. So I think this post of yours is making a suggestion to contribute valuable knowledge to the world, and blogs are a good way to do that. Cool. | | |
Yes, you;re right that it depends on your blogging motivation.
The point I was trying to make is that the only difference between your blog and nytimes.com is that many more people know about and read nytimes.com. Now most blogs don't compete with the New York Times news reporting, so maybe that's not a great example, but substitute any other popular website and hopefully you get what I am saying.
Imagine what you could do if you controlled nytimes.com. It would be awesome. You don't control that website though. If you have a blog then you control another website. The only difference is one of size. So grow your website's influence... | | |
I was actually thinking about how good the Without Annette blog is, both as advertisement for the troupe and as an Improv teacher. Sillytech is fun because it's like an ongoing conversation at a party, interspersed programming tips.
My blog sort of feels like vanity. Also, it's supposed to be an insight into my mind, right, but I'm always conscious of my readers, and it's edited accordingly. Now that I think about it, though, my Edinburgher blog served a purpose but I stopped writing in it because I didn't think I had much of an audience. So yeah, if I had spread the word I would have felt more of a commitment to write.
My website does have more influence than nytimes. :P | | |
| Ironically, I was trying to comment here with multiple links to my blogs, and was stopped by your Spam watchdog. | | |
