Hi guys
So today I thought I'd share with you, tips and tricks plus some general ideas you help promote you and your blogging site. I hope you may find this useful, although if you have any better tips, please leave them in the comments below to share with other.
1.What Does your Blog look like
Is Your neatly presented? or is it messy with gadgets and buttons thrown around everywhere? you need your blog to be as easy to use for your views, otherwise they will not come back
2. Is your blog light or dark?
I have no problem with darker coloured blog pages, just please remember that dark sites are usually associated with dodgy or hacking sites, people might be thrown off by this and not return.
3. Do you and your blog have social media?
If you don't have social media such as Twitter or Instagram for your blog, not as many people will realise it is here, leading to less views. Your readers also want to know who you are and if you are a real person, not just a robot behind a computers screen.
4. Do you have drop down buttons (for mobile sites) and pages/tabs (for websites)?
If you do not have pages and or drop down buttons, look at the top of my page or home page for an example, people will have no idea who you are about, how to contact you o your FAQs . Plus adding this looks more professional.
5. How often do you post?
If this is a hobby like blogging is for me, try post a least a minimum of one day a week if you can, if this is a job you need to be posting everyday or every other day. The more content you post, the more that gets noticed
6. Are you on other blogging sites?
Have a look at Bloglovin if you wish to look and receive follows from people who do not have a blogging account or can't follow you because they use a different blogging publishing tool.
7. Hashtags
When on instagram or any social networking that commonly uses hashtags, don't forget to use them. If you were posting about a new lipstick for example put that hashtags #makeup #newlipstick #mac people will be looking through these hashtags, meaning that your blog will get more recognised
8. Remember to post for yourself
There is going to be someone out there who loves you posts, don't change what your doing cause a few people don't like them. If you are posting to make other people happy (which is great) but it's not making you happy (which isn't great) you will eventually loose interest.
9. This is a working progress
views, comments and followers don't just appear in 10000s overnight, blogging is hard work and you need to realise that by setting suitable goals :)
I hope this may of helped some of you, feel free to leave any questions below or contact me by viewing the contacts page above
