Blogging tips,tricks and pogo sticks

This post is addressed to the bloggers that are working hard and plan on making it in the blogging world. I’m usually a reserved person meaning I don’t like to hurt anyone’s feelings but I also have a hard time knowing something and keeping to myself. So blogging tips is the key word that I will test the almighty powers of the google bot with this time. One post 2 words check the results in a week:) Blogging tips is a tough one. Alot tougher then “do follow” so I’m not going to predict any results and just see what happens. The last experiment was the two words “do follow” and you can google that and check out the results. I have been blogging not such a long time in life years but for some time in blogger years meaning 9 months;) The reason I’m telling you all this is after looking all over the world at many blogs,sites,communities. I’m going to say you better just hang it up and start playing old PC games and downloading some music . Blogging is in a weak state right now. I see many one way bloggers meaning they take and don’t give a damn. Well they come up and go down quick as I have seen many do. The snobs do ok for a while and have their little lame forums and places where they hang with other unappealing people. The main mistake I see bloggers make is once you come across someone that could be a friend,resource,role model whatever you run off to the the next person and usually to your dismay come to find out if you had just invested a little time and effort you’d have some amazing people in your life. I see people that have plenty of talent and they will get a little core group of people swarming around them for a minute then like a school of fish they migrate. The whole point is find yourself one strong blogger buddy, then have some random people coming and going because that is what is going to happen. I find it very interesting in what exact element it is that attracts people to your site. Sure people that are well known are going to get some traffic automatically but I bet they are noticing a lul also. I check stats and it seems like things are pretty quiet. One of the things I like to do is spend my time checking out some new blogs in the blogging tips,tech,blogging resources niches. Now I’m going to be bold and say that your looking at the next major blog and I’ll tell you why. When I go to these blogs and leave a comment a nice one and that’s it do you know out of 10 how many people I hear back from maybe 1.Isn’t that sad? To me it’s not. To me it is something to exploit. I can go to a person’s blog leave a nice comment say thanks and move on. But I promise you these people that have some problem or just a false sense of importance whatever are slowly fading out. You can’t sit there thinking your all that for long cause it doesn’t work. I have seen it over and over. So blogging tip number one circle back and one check if they even approved your comment. I stumble everyone so that goes without saying and people are pretty good at saying thanks on stumble. That’s probably why I have been spending more time on there. Blogging tip number two realize it’s work. I have talked to so many bloggers that don’t know if their coming or going and I wasn’t fully committed for a while myself. I just liked writing but I also thought you’d have 100′s of people coming and hanging out with you on your blog,yeah right.

Blogging tip number 3 Traffic. Well in the beginning I would go on on traffic exchanges,leave spammy shoutouts on craigslist,do all kinds of things. I decided to write and I do get most of my visitors from search and my friends stopping by . For me I have to speak to a blogger in a way that he thinks “Hey I’m going to go see what John Sullivan has going on? Cause that is exactly what I say to myself when I decide to go “check in”.Give people something for stopping by.Whether it’s friendly attitude some great writing,something. Blogging tip number 4 be realistic. There are millions and millions of blogs. I can easily look at my stats one day and feel great and I can feel like a total failure the next. Being realistic and committed to enduring the long haul will allow you to give yourself a break and regroup. Blogging tip number 5 reach out to some one new, this has saved me many a day and it gives me a chance to share in their success watching them pull it together;) See the guys on the top aren’t going to come to your blog. Their not going to come and leave a comment and to me that just seems weird. Blogging tip number 6 don’t always go by what you have going on right now. I just had a great conversation with a very cool blogger on the phone and I said sometimes I have to look forward to where I’ll be tomorrow. The reason I mention that is because when I leave a comment sometimes I think they may not know me today but I know one day there going to say hey that dude left a comment on my blog and said I was doing an excellent job and to keep up the great work;) That day is coming. Whether it’s 3 more months or by Christams it’s coming. So I will end with know when to lay low. Sometimes I’ll work on other projects or try to improve my photo editing skills or skills that I see that I will need up ahead. Skills come over time. It’s weird that less is more. I also don’t understand how the whole thing works but I know blogging tip number 7 NEVER QUIT;)

Oh and the pogo sticks is for KNOW when to bounce.If your wasting your time on a certain site, ad company or with a friend that is just taking advantage of you or whatever,bow out gracefully and BOUNCE- redirect your efforts to more positive things. Spend time with people that appreciate you and most of all have FUN;)

Now that macros are getting hot,you can go to backflip and put as many as you want, sites in your daily rotation and it will click you to the next site. The entrecard tool bar is excellent for reaching out to new people and checking out the competition. I like to do that because it challenges me to come up with new things and to learn php even more. So all is well. Things take

time. It takes 6 months to one year to know if your blog will be popping. So in the mean time visit another blogger,throw him a bone with a thank you ,stumble something.

I do it because I enjoy it and I know there’s alot of people hurting some I go by and read ads at certain sites because I like to be supportive.I’m trying to say I quess what comes around goes around;)
