Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

Web Logs is the newest craze among the netizens, and more and more people have started trying their luck at blogging to share their experiences and thoughts!

The main funda of blogging is to get more and more people to read your blog, and to build a community of you own. Of course, there are people who are least bothered about getting people on to their site. They blog, just like that, because all else do, and also because they don’t have anything else to do.

If you are one of those serious bloggers who indeed want to make it BIG, then keep reading…my tips will surely help you in building your community slowly and steadily….

Tip 1 – Touch base with the fact - you are not Amitabh Bachchan!

People have a wrong notion that they are already famous, and that people are dying to read their blog. The truth is no one cares a hair for what you write. The last thing I will be interested to know is your experiences about YOUR life and YOUR travel experiences!

Chant this mantra 108 times everyday to understand what you are and what people think about you….“Views are like ass*****, everyone has got one”.

So the moral is…your aim should be to become somebody from NOBODY.

Tip 2 – Decide on the content - don’t bug your readers

As I mentioned earlier, NONE will come to your blog (except for your closest friends whom you nag everyday to read your blog - remember they will do it not out interest but out of obligation) to read what you did last summer in Kodaikanal and what you are going to do in Ooty next winter. People don’t care, until and unless your blog is going to benefit them.

See to it that your blog entertains the reader or at least informs them something interesting.

(I am sure you understand one thing now that, your views on Schumy or L K Advani is of no use to me until and unless I am your disciple or you are Mr Larry King)

Tip 3 – Market your blog – make sure people acknowledge your presence

*Print your blog URL on your visiting card
*Add your blog URL in your mail signature, and if possible give a small intro about your latest blog in all the mails you send on a particular day
*Add your blog URL on Yahoo Profile Page

If you think people should spend money and time and come to read your SHIT religiously and post their messages everyday, and that you won’t visit any blogs, because you think you are smartest ass around! Then take my word you will end up being the BIGGEST fool in the world of bloggers!

Dedicate at least 1 hour on blogs everyday, 30 mns on your blog, and 30 mns on other’s blogs. And also make a point that you compromise on your EGO and leave some message in their comment box.

This is simple Bhagwat Geeta rule – “If you want something, you should give something”.

Tip 5 – Have patience – You won’t get the BEST BLOGGER award the very first year

Building your own community isn’t an easy task. There are veteran bloggers who have been blogging for years now, and have succeeded in getting only 100 people on to their sites everyday.

Patience pays!

Happy Blogging!
