Places to Get Your Blog Noticed

As I mentioned in my last post I have been using social media more and have come across a couple of great resources where you can get your blog noticed. Be prepared these all require some level of effort. Remember you are building a business. One important thing I am learning is to connect with other bloggers, this benefits you in two ways:

1. You gain "free" valuable information - especially if the blogger has a successful blog and has been at it a while.
2. You get yourself and your blog noticed. Meaning present your blog and what you do in a business manner.

Making these connections are very important. Everything I have read stress this point heavily.

Social Media

Pinterest has a board just for blogs - If you use Twitter you have to follow The Blog Guide or The Blog Guide Board and then submit an email to megan@theofficialblogguide.com so you can get an invite to pin on the board. Here is the actual board http://www.theofficialblogguide.com/category/social-media/ there are alot of great pins on this board which help with blogging.

Forums - places where you can find others within your niche and get involved in the conversations. You can also start your own conversation and list your site http://www.topix.com/forum/dir

Twitter - https://twitter.com/Mil757 ( Of course, I'll follow you:)

I have found some blogging groups who will RT if you mention them in your tweet and you can follow them

You can also list your blog on Bloglovin - https://www.bloglovin.com/

I am on Facebook but not really active there (right now)

Last one (I promise) Here is a site I found which lists all the places you should share your site on and even breaks some sites down into categories - http://www.makingtimeformommy.com/resources-for-bloggers/places-to-share-blog-posts/#comment-111805

Making connections is important because you meet others in your field and get yourself noticed. I think it is important we support each other, but we each are on our own paths and you have to do what works for you. I am finding you have to get out of your comfort zone, keep an open mind, and be willing to go the extra mile.

Much success to you all!
