Now Is The Time To Try Something New

Now Is The Time To Try Something New

This is very fitting and timely since I have been doing Darren Rowse’s 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge through ProBlogger. If you are a blogger then you really should be taking this challenge, it forces you to think about the different things you can do to make your blog better.

What has this done for me so far?

Well, so far I’ve written elevator pitches for BenSpark.com and Read To Me, Dad. I’ve also made some great list posts for BenSpark.com: 10 Essential Items for IZEAFest 2009 and Read To Me, Dad: Survival Tools for Dads

BTW: Optimus Prime was much better as leader than Hot Rod, I was just looking for something new.

You are Sociable and Entertaining

You are Sociable and Entertaining

I like to think of myself as sociable. I spend time meeting people online and I also take that offline and meet people. Earlier this month I put on Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs and met some very interesting bloggers, some whom I had spoken with online and some I’d never met before. Being sociable isn’t too hard for me. I really enjoy it. However entertaining, well, I’m not too sure about that.

Are you Sociable?

Being sociable online takes time. Sure you can hang out on twitter all day and RT tweets from other bloggers. However, do you take the time to visit other blogs and leave comments. For me comments are the single largest measure of whether or not my blog is doing well. If people take the time to leave me a comment on a post then I know I made a connection. If you are going to be sociable online then you are going to need to make the effort and make that connection with other bloggers and also your regular readers.

Do you respond to your comments?

Do you take the time to engage those who took the time to connect with you? Responding to comments is something that you can do easily. In my daily routine I get a comment I respond immediately. Don’t let the comments back up either because once you engage your readers you need to stay engaged.

Entertaining?

I don’t think that I am too entertaining. I’d like to be more entertaining though. I’m thinking of taking the plunge and attending and participating in the Speed of Thought Players: Scary & Fast comedy workshops. We’ll see.

Wondering where the FortunateBluFrog Is?

Every Fortune can’t be about the Frog man, gotta give it a rest once in a while. But the frog is not gone. Just missing today.
