The Awareness Test
The Awareness TestHow aware are you of your surroundings?! I found these two great videos on YouTube earlier this week about being aware of your surroundings. The first time I saw the videos I failed, like most of us will. If you seen this video before you’ll probably know what I am talking about. For […]
First I would like to thank Arie for this opportunity to talk about such an important subject to me, keeping readers loyal. For me this is the essence of the entire business of blogging. My goal is and has always been about building a regular community around my blog with readers and writers that care. From my very first blog a few years ago to the excellent collaboration on Blogussion I have found that keeping readers is far better than having to find new readers everyday. To keep readers I focus on 3 things, sincerity, content, and communication.

At the time when I tried Wordpress I had already been using Blogger for about a year, then something happened and I figured I’d give Wordpress a try, but it didn’t work out for me, so I went back to Blogger and purchased a new domain.

Blogging Tip# 1 Starting a Blog
A month or two ago, a wonderful young lady contacted me via email and told me she wanted some insight on starting her own blog and wanted to know how to go about it. I was shocked, I am NO professional blogger, and I look up to the real professional Bloggers out there, like ProBlogger, The Huffington Post, Mashable, TechCrunch, LifeHacker, Gizmodo, Engadget, Joystiq, even TMZ to name a few; these people are amazing!! And someday I’ll be just as amazing as them, but as of right now I am just a young apprentice. :-)
