Top Blogging Sites…

Top blogging sites are everywhere. They come in all different sizes and shapes. There is one for everyone. There are funny ones and sad ones. Informative ones and novelty ones. There are top blogging sites for whatever subject a person is looking for. Yet, there are more top blogging sites than people interested in them. Let’s face it, most people don’t know that many top blogging sites even exist.

So, what do you do when you have a top blogging site, but no followers?

That’s the question that someone asked me this week. I was shocked, because this person actually has a couple of  good top blogging sites. They say relative things and do everything in their power to keep their information fresh and interesting. But, they have no followers.

So what do you do?

Let me ask you this question. If you were sitting in a 10,000 seat arena and everyone was there to hear about your new break-through study on creating rock-solid relationships. What would you do if you started talking but no one accept the 10 people in front of you could hear. Would you keep speaking or would you try to figure out why the other 9,000+ people couldn’t hear you? I doubt you would keep going or their “boos” and complaints would quickly get your attention.

That’s how it is with top blogging sites. If you have good information to share and no one is listening, you may want to stop speaking and find out what the problem is before continuing.

Here are 7 simple things you can do to get the followers to your top blogging sites almost instantly:

1. Know your target-Make sure you are talking to the people who are listening. If you were trying to sell ice cream, would you talk to people in Alaska or Hawaii?

2. Search Engines- Submitting your website and posts to search engines are a must. Millions of people depend on search engines to find what they are looking for. If you are not listed in search engines, how would anyone ever find you. Remember when we had the good old phone books? When someone needed a number, they searched the phone book. If your business wasn’t in there, then you were guaranteed not to be contacted. Search engines are the phone books of today. List your site if you want to be found.

3. Current Information-  I hate reading old information. If I pick up a newspaper and it has yesterday’s date on it, I don’t read it. And I am not alone. Millions of others are the same way. They will allow you a few days to update your top blogging sites, but if you haven’t updated it in two months, they will go to other top blogging sites. Top blogging sites are the newspaper of this age.

4. Start Local-  Friends, families, co-workers, grocery store clerks. You run across hundreds of people daily. Why don’t they know about your top blogging sites? Make business cards with your top blogging sites info on them. Order pencils/pens from vista print and hand them out. When you pay the waitress/waiter and leave them a tip, write them a thank you note with your blog information on it. Start local.

5. Keywords- What would someone type if they were looking for your blogs? Keywords are very important. If your sight is about babies, but you don’t use the right keywords then folks looking for the exact information that you are writing about will more than likely not find you. Google has a simple but wonderful keyword tool. Get familiar with keywords.

6. Networking- Do you know anyone else with top blogging sites? If so, why not let them advertise for you and you advertise for them? It’s free. If your top blogging site is about babies and theirs is about cooking, when someone comes to you about cooking you refer them to your friend. And when someone mentions babies to your friend, she will refer them to you. This simple technique works really good. Use it with about 20 of your friends and you will start to have lots of followers in no time.

7. Articles- Your post are like mini-articles. So, why not post them at article hubs? The great things about some article sites are they do most of the advertising for you and many people looking for particular topics will search there first. This definitely increases your chances of getting noticed.

These are just some of the ways that you can start to get followers to your top blogging sites. There are thousands of others but this will get you off to a good start. Remember, if no one is reading your top blogging sites, why write? Find out who your audience is and what they want, then create your top blogging sites to reach them and satisfy their needs.
