There are tons of online directories out there and I have just started scratching the surface with listing my blogs. I had a blog on Blogger for 4 years. I then moved that blog to a self hosted one using WordPress to maintain it. Overnight my well known and established blog was a nobody. What to do?
Well I exchanged links with many friends who were in the same boat and I began to get my new blog listed on many blog directories. Someone is going to want to see my Photo-a-Day project especially now that it is nearly 2 years old.
I have found a couple that I really like. For example Outpost earth list me each time I post a new post to my blog. They are also listing my blog in many different places. The front page, the Massachusetts page, the Art page and the Photography page. That is a lot of exposure just by using my RSS feed.
I’ve also been listed on FuelMyBlog for months and the exposure I’ve been getting from that site has been wonderful.
I listed my blog with Blog Top Sites and BlogFlux today. We shall see how that works out for incoming links.
On my MySpace profile I am featuring the song Rosa by Chris O’Brien. Hearing that song for the first time I instantly fell in love with it. That is probably why I have not changed it in a while. I learned about Chris O’Brien through Antje Duvekot’s MySpace profile. She sings on some of his songs.
I also see that Chris O’Brien will be opening for Ellis Paul next Tuesday at WPI and on May 3rd in New York at the The Makor.
If you go to Chris O’Brien’s MySpace profile you can listen to three songs (Rosa, Lighthouse, Hey Love) and watch one video (Ocean Stone). Out of all the songs I find Rosa to be the best one. I love listening to that song over and over. Take a listen to Chris’ stuff and let me know what you think.
I would like to be kept informed about Artist’s upcoming concerts but I find that looking at their schedules is a tedious process. I would like to have one location where I could watch the tour schedules or be informed about a week out about upcoming concerts. That gives me an idea. We’ll see what comes of that idea.
Is there a singer that you think should be featured in the Singer Spotlight? Let me know.
