How to share my blog.

IStop4Stamps

I blog my journey fairly regularly and have published a few topics that I think should be successful. However, they don't get votes. Do you know what I should do to raise awareness to my blogs?

Thanks,
Audrie

Try copy/paste the link into these message threads if you have a point to get across. I am not sure if other people will see it that are not your friends, though.

When you publish it, an announcement goes out into the news feeds of all the friends that choose to see your news.

I don't really care about who votes on mine though... my blogs are just for my personal thoughts.

I am a blogger too! I blog elsewhere than this site. If you want more people to read your blog, you may need to do that. There are just too many blogs on this site to be competing with. I read a book called 31 Days to Finding Your Blogging Mojo. There are some helpful points in there such as:

- Write really well, show not tell
- have topics relevant to your audience or target audience
- pick very eye catching titles
- promote yourself everywhere, bug people to read your blog. A good one is posting as a status here and on Facebook.
- use pictures! Odd but people seems to like a lot of pictures.
- Go back a reference old posts to make people keep reading older posts
- READ AND COMMENT ON OTHER BLOGS, it also helps promote yourself and to learn
- Did I mention to read other blogs? Good.
- humor and personality in your writing

My number one idea for you, if you really like blogging, is to just create your own webpage and blog elsewhere. Post on here that you put up a new post and advertise it. I use weebly. You can see your views for free. People might not comment but people are reading it. It is more motivating. Like I said, I get double digits now after 3 months of blogging. Not many people comment, but people are reading. People even complain to me when I haven't posted like I should.


Hopefully some of that helps.

P.S.
My blog is http://cultureshockblog.weebly.com/

I think blogs were meant to be read by others.

I agree,
But does anyone know how I can have my MFP blog automatically post over to FB?
Here it is, and oh, I would love your feedback if you have any:
