Today’s SocialMoms blogging prompt was submitted by member Jane, who writes a great, personal blog at A Mom’s Take. You can connect with her on Twitter @amomstake. Her question is “What tips and advice do you have for new bloggers?”
When Mindy and I first started out we really had no clue what we were doing. We’ve come a really long way but there is still so much to learn! Here are a few tips we have for new bloggers:
- Blog at least a few times per week to keep readers coming back. If you take long breaks and don’t update regularyly, you may lose readers.
- If you are looking to build your readership incorporate facebook and twitter into your blog and HOST A GIVEAWAY! Readers love giveaways and you can list them in various directories to draw in more people.
- If you are looking to monetize your blog but are just starting out, start with Google Adsense. You won’t earn much, but it’s a great place to start.
If you are a new blogger just starting out and have any specific questions, we’d be happy to help! If you are interested in a series on blogging and we get enough interest we are open to starting one up. Leave a comment or email us at mommieswithcents at gmail dot com.
