Lee, the Hotflash Queen is back and she wants us to promote our fan pages as well!
She has a linky on her blog so you too can put your fanpage in there as well.
I am trying and trying to update the status from the fan page more and more.
I need some interaction from the fans too.
So here is my Facebook Fan page link, if you are not already a FAN. Come say, "Hi."
Honestly, I know you aren't suppose to post more than one post per day.
But I just had to join up with LizzieBTVand her Get your Vlog on.
Won't you join me?
Join me in wishing my friend Kristina a Happy Birthday. Send me your birthday date, and I will make a video on YOUR day if you wish! :)
The light up glasses are the BEST, don't you think?
P.S. Also changes are a-coming!!! I am getting a BLOG-makeover!!! Isn't this SO EXCITING?? Yeah!!!
So you got yourself a free blog from Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, OR one of those cool self-hosted blog platforms like wordpress.org. :))
What are you going to do now?
When I started a blog, WAY back in October of 2008, I had NO idea how to blog. Or what to put in a post.
I just figured it was journal of sorts, and I would write about what I was doing and stuff like that. REAL boring stuff. My first post was lame. You so don't want to ever read it. Really.
It was BEFORE I discovered paragraphs too. (Note to self: Space OUT your blog post. Must not have run-on sentences in one LONG post. People will probably not read it.
With that in mind, here are some tips I have picked up along the way regarding blogging.
Bullet lists are your friend. (With the majority of people these days, your post must be FAST and EASY to read. Bullet lists help that. :)
Make your blog post interesting. Please don't tell me what you ate for dinner last night and that you were so bored the other night you picked lint off your new sweater.
Pictures help. Insert random HOT pictures of good-looking celebrities. People will at least look at your post.
Twitter helps. I have a Google reader. I have Blogger dashboard. But if you could tweet your posts, I probably will read those posts first BEFORE my Google reader even.
Google ideas for blog posts if you have writer's block. Google is your friend, remember. :)
It takes time to build a following. Use Blogfrog, Facebook fan pages, Twitter, comments around blogland, Youtube, Get your name out there! Use the social media tools to your advantage.
Link up to your friends. Everyone LOVES a shout-out every now and then. I just recently discoveredJennyonthespot. You all should check her out. And if you are not already following Miss Amber Page Writes. I suggest you do. She is an awesome writer and she is cool just like me.
That's about it for my tips.
Do you have any tips about blogging YOU have picked up along your way?
Feel free to share them with me below! :)
It is my favorite time of the week!! Monday!! It is time for MONDAY MINGLE!!!!
And we get two times to get down with our video camera this week!
Monday with Speedy! (AKA Monday Mingle)
And Wednesdays withLizzie!Lizzie's is NEW! Just link up any video, cooking, a how to video, a DANCE video, anything!! Your choice!!!
Now on to my mingle!!! ;) Thank YOU, Speedy Jen, for giving us the questions this week!
I have noticed several things lately on my blog lately. Well, to start off, my followers have picked up a little bit. Yeah!!!! Thanks for joining Cluttered Brain!! I hope you will find me entertaining!! But comments have slacked. I know, I know, it is NOT about the numbers game, And you should just blog to have fun, but I am wondering why the lack of comments?
Is it because you people have SO MANY blogs that you are following...(like me?) and you don't have the time OR the effort to post a comment?
Is it because the last month before school lets out is pretty hectic? Ya know there are TONS of things going on, DARE graduations, pool parties, Field Days... to name a few. :))
I am thinking I should probably post a couple days a week. Like Monday, Wednesday and Friday, And lay off of Tuesday/Thursday if I can help it. I think if I post less, AND perhaps BETTER quality, I might get better feedback.
I'm new at blogging. Really. I've only been blogging since last year. I am not ULTRA- experienced like you people. Some people have MANY, many years on me. I may not be a local celebrity likeToni, or as as funny as Telling Dad, but I am funny. In my own spunky way, I make videos of myself to make others laugh, I blog about my life, my writing, my kids anything that comes to mind in my daily posts.
So I guess I'm asking you guys this:
1. Do you like my idea of cutting back to M, W, F posts and producing BETTER quality posts? You might not hear much from me in a couple of days as I try very hard to write extremely well-written posts. Where's my blog editor when I need her?
2. What do you want to know about me? What would you like to see more of? I'm all ears, people, now is your time to tell me.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
