Bloggers Love TIPS so after reading another blogger’s post with some TIPS but in reality they were TIPS to better Play the GAME. I decided to tell you the best blogging tip ever.
When you meet someone learn how to progress that relationship. Bloggers are weak when it comes to advancing their friendships. Being my friend on Facebook or Twitter does little for BOTH if us if we never really talk.
The most powerful blogging app is the telephone.
For example
One site may get tons of visitors. People just passing through maybe they comment maybe they just bounce what else do you expect them to do ? By having a personal relationship with people you and hopefully their blog also will be more successful.
Recently I got a chance to talk with some new blogging friends and instead of getting caught up in what is going on with many of my older blogging friends that are to BUSY, I will just move on and it’s really their loss. I don’t want to be the one always reaching out, to me that gets old and not the kind of friends I want or need.
Friendship and BLOGGING is a two way street. You would be surprised with the FACT that you only really need ONE very close main friend and then you can expand from there, I mean you will be surprised how few people it takes to have a very powerful effect.
For example many of my OLD friends can’t be bothered joining Blogger Luv and I see them sucking up and tweeting SNOBS and well known people’s stuff according to their agenda, that is fine with me because I’m in no rush and like I said that is there loss because they are only proving they weren’t very good friends to begin with I see that now as I look back.
I’m the type of person that will be friends with anyone but I don’t allow myself to get used or played like a sucker. I can enjoy my own company today and don’t need to DIS myself by associating with selfish self centered always BUSY GOOFS. I like real people that care about their life and making it better but not just that, people that are concerned with success but not obsessed with it to the point they don’t even take a minute to say HI 
Friendship is a good thing and surely made many of my blogging days better. The first step for me is to try and do my best to be a good friend, then find some people with the same interest and BE AVAILABLE.
Remember everyone sees what you do and don’t do and you don’t owe anybody anything BUT if your sick of these shallow so called ‘friendships” take a step back and KNOW that a few REAL friends TRUMP a 1000 fake ass followers any day
Hang on the phone is ringing
Call someone and take a risk you will find some awesome people out there if you just stop chasing GHOSTS and worrying about your own agenda 24/7 Plus it’s fun to take a break and check out what other people are up to.The PHONE brings another closer element to forming TRUE friendships.
Or keep Tweeting that GURU and do it your way
Just something to think about
Hope everyone is having a great weekend I know my weekend is much better having talked with some of MY FRIENDS 
TRY IT
I use a Google Voice # which is good for twitter or where ever so people can leave voicemails
Ultimately all you can do is try your best if people fail to see the value of your friendship then that is their LOSS and problem, when your rich and they are friending people on FB there will be no question why
I would say CALL me but I’m BUSY LOL
Just kidding
(210) 693-0541 I have some Google Voice invites if anyone needs them.
I USED to get MAD at all these people writing about social media, communication and can’t even answer a tweet or say HI but I decided instead of wasting time trying to change them I would just look for the right people Worked for me
Thanks
PS also I’m FAR from perfect I’m sure I let people down the point is it’s a learning process and may just be a POWERFUL part of blogging your missing out on that is all I’m saying
What has been your experience on all this ?
and NO I didn’t upgrade to 3.0 LOL and if you ever want to talk you have the number Thanks

Hi guys,

Kind regards,

I am not using Google Voice and find it hard to find Skype contacts, But this is the way to work if you need to succeed writing can be fun and clarified but it’s not in real time and meanings can get lost within words. So working like real business people and picking up the phone is something that we should be doing more of. Tweet snobs are just a waste of time they don’t interact and expect you to play by their blogging and social media bible which they seem to break the first commandment in it “Thou Shall Converse with your followers”

Nothing like the good old telephone.
With my business, whenever someone tries to contact by e-mail — I always insist on a personal phone conversation BEFORE making a rate quote or discussing my business. You never know who or what is on the other end of that e-mail (Nigerians?).
Bla Bla Bla Nigerians he who laughs last laugh longest.Never judge a book and so on weddingdjs even your name sounds like a spam threat no offence like the monkeys

This could just be me, but putting my personal number (even if it is my G Voice number) on my blog is alarming. How many people have called you? and how many spam list do you think have just gathered your number? I suppose that is paranoia, but it feels valid to ask.
I do like the meaning in your words though. I find people that are really your friend and interested in you are always better than 100 who you can’t even get to respond. You just can’t forget to show them equal love!
You know John, I’m really not a phone guy. That’s pretty bad since I work for myself, but in general I hate being on the phone, so I only do it when I have to. But you see me reaching out through email, blogs, and of course Twitter; if you’re on Facebook (I just realized you are and have sent you the friend request), I’ll talk to you there as well, though most people it seems don’t spend a lot of time talking there.
But you’re right, blogging and making connections is a two-way street. If you’re doing all the work, visiting other blogs and people aren’t ever visiting you back, or never responding to direct conversation on Twitter, then why waste your time?

I’m also not much of a phone guy and only use it when I have to. As to Twitter and stuff, I mean I know what it’s like to be busy, but how long does it take to send out a tweet? Oh yeah, that’s right, I don’t have all that many followers so I reckon I got more time than those big boys. Probably another reason why I don’t want to be like them.
have a good day John.

I suspect many of the people who work online (especially from home) are not phone people. That’s why we do what we do rather than say, telemarketing or customer relations
.-= Anne Moss´s last blog ..Blog Comment Links – Where Do You Link To? =-.
I’m another one who doesn’t like talking on the phone. I’m a writer and I work at home, too, so maybe there’s a connection there. In fact, there are a lot of days when I go eight or nine hours in a row without saying a word (out loud) or hearing another voice. Those are the days!

hey John,
how true… (for most bloggers). Where did you get it?
I love your poster, “Blogging – Now you can show the whole world why no one listens to you.”
I agree with most of the people above… I prefer email to the phone.

Nice tip here and I honestly couldn’t agree more.
In fact, I’m reaching out to more bloggers and getting to know more people as we speak. You remind me of a post I did on my blog a while back called something like blogging is a two way street. It talks about giving AND getting.
I think we do need to really get to know each other better as bloggers and put the time and communication in because that’s the strongest point when it comes to anything to do with our blog.
A tip for anyone (to add on to your tip here) is when you comment, even if you leave a long comment as I am here, show you actually give a crap about the person and the topic at hand. Otherwise your words mean nothing and you’re only as good as your word.
Great stuff man.

Hi John,
I know you like to use the phone but honestly I almost never make or receive phone calls any more. I did have a conference call yesterday and I talked to Murray on the phone for 3.5 hours last week, but before that the last call I had was probably the last time we talked.
If two people talk on the phone only those two people benefit. If, however, we interact at BloggerLuv or in the comments of our blog posts what we share benefits everyone who reads it indefinitely.

I actually kinda like the fact blogging has taken me away from the telephone, though!
In all seriousness, people are putting forth work they really care about here, and putting opinions they think matter. Helping them promote can be a big deal, even if I never speak to them.
You are right, though – I do think quite a few people online who I’ve reached out to could be more social, could pick up the phone once in a while. I will say this: it isn’t right for some people to divide their friends into “online” and “offline,” like as if the former do nothing for them over a period of years in some cases.
