Tell us about Your Blog in 140 Characters or Less Posted: 24 Oct 2008 07:08 PM PDT OK - here’s a little experiment for us to participate in this weekend. Below I’d like you to ‘pitch’ us on why we should read your blog. Read on to find out how. I get asked these two questions a lot:
The answer to #1 is invariably no. It’s not that I don’t want to promote great blogs - but the reality is that if I promoted every blog I was asked to link to it’d take over this blog completely. The answer to #2 is for me to sometimes give people a link but more often it’s a blank look. You see while I track the feeds of over 700 blogs that is just a drop in the ocean and the blogs I follow tend to be on just a couple of narrow topics. So - what I want to do is give people an opportunity to promote their blog here on ProBlogger and an opportunity for others to find new blogs to read. It’s all going to happen in the comments section of this post. Here’s how it’ll work.
Will this bring you tens thousands of new readers to your blog? Probably not - but it could bring a few, and they could bring others….. I’m looking forward to seeing how you pitch us your blog (I think it’s important to be able to sell your blog in a few words so hopefully this is a useful exercise) but also to discovering some great new blogs! Your 48 hours starts…. NOW! Subscribe to my feed to be notified when the project ends so you can come back and surf the list! update: If you don’t see your comment come up immediately please be patient. It will have been queued for moderation - we’ll get to it eventually. There’s no need to add a 2nd comment. Thanks! Tags: Blog Promotion, finding readers, Pitch Your Blog |
