But I Smile Anyway…

Today’s challenge… Day 4

So, as a relatively new blogger, little over 4 months old, I have to say I’m pretty proud of little old me…
Over 540 followers, nearly 16,500 hits, many awards… Its overwhelming to be honest, but in a nice way!
Whether I had 5 followers or 500, though, I wouldn’t do anything differently.
*A big thing I would say to you, is write from the heart, if that’s the type of blog you are, there are many of us who love to read reality, and emotional, family based posts!
*Interact with your readers, answer comments, so they know you care about their responses.
*If you are following blogs, read, and if you like, then ‘like’ it, and leave a comment!
*Through the above two tips, you are building a rapport between you and others in your community.
*Join some blog parties, to get yourself out there, then when you feel confident, host your own! I did, its been a huge success! Check it out here!
*If you’re not too confident, try the Blogging 101 courses, they help immensely with setting up your blog page, helping you understand features.
*If you are lucky to get a bigger blog supporting you, don’t be shy to ask for help! I wasn’t… Tom from Cats At The Bar helped me loads, along with another few bloggers!

There we have a few tips! I hope there is something there that would help someone!
