Yesterday I was telling The Hubs about NaBloPoMo and it hit me that a great companion challenge to daily blogging would be to:
POST ONE COMMENT ON ONE NEW BLOG EVERY DAY!
How cool is that? What a fabulous way to get your blog out there especially when you are posting so much insightful and valuable content. So after you publish your post for the day go find a new blog to comment on. Here are some tips to get the most out of your comments:
- Be sure you are adding your blog url to your comment by copying & pasting it from your web browser – this way you are sure to include the “http:/” part and there are no typos
- Your comment does not have to be an essay on their blog post – simply write your gut reaction to their blog
- If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all and find another blog post that you can say something positive about. Spreading negativity is no way to make blogging friends.
- Limit your time commenting to 5 or 10 minutes – you don’t want this to overwhelm you and it will keep you from over-editing your comments {yes, I know you have a tendency to over-edit – we all do – but you’ve gotta draw the line to nurture your schedule}.
- If you’d like to create a dialogue, then check the box to subscribe to comments if it’s provided. This way if the blogger posts a response to your comment, then you will be notified. The only thing to watch for is how much comment activity the blog has. If there are regularly 100 comments on each post, then you probably don’t want to subscribe. But, if there are a few comments, then you can easily subscribe without being inundated with emails.
Okay, I’m off to comment on a blog I’ve never visited before and be sure to come back tomorrow as I share about how to find new blogs!
Rock it out, Peeps.
