I gained that for my blog to be successful, I have to make my peers and colleagues aware that I have a blog. So far I haven't even reached the triple digits when it comes to page views and I realized it's because I don't share my blog on my social media outlets nor have I told my friends the specifics of how to find my blog. I know majority of the time I don't share blogs because there's no incentive. I may retweet an article here and there but nothing is regularly retweeted.

ReplyDeleteI learned that it is okay to ask my friends to share my blog. I have thought in the past that doing so could seem egotistical; but it's not.

I am making it a goal of mine to form an "alliance" with a few of my friends who blog regularly and committing to all re post each others work!

I will definitely start talking about my blog more now!
ReplyDeleteI learned that networking is critical. Your blog isn't just going to gain viewers with you not saying anything, you have to promote, promote, and do more promoting for your blog.

The other night I was actually sitting in my living room and asked one of my roommates if she had read my most recent post. She replied that she didn't even know that I have a blog. Thats when I realized that I need to start letting people know about my blog in order for it to be read more.
ReplyDeleteI learned that in order for your blog to be successful, it is crucial that you make your blog known to your family, friends and colleagues. If no one knows about your blog, then no one is going to read your blog. You must tell those you know about your blog, and ask them to share your blog and posts whenever they can.
