Top 5 Tips for bloggers

1. E-mail, E-mail, E-mail

The first thing to do when you start a blog is to e-mail as many people that you know and tell them about your blog. Don't spam anyone, but let your friends, family, co-workers and other contacts know about your blog.

2. E-mail Signature

So, you started a blog and your ready to send out your first e-mail informing everyone, but wait, did you put your blog address in your e-mail signature? Make sure that you include your blog information (ie address) in your e-mail signature. Experiment with different fonts, text sizes and colors that make it stand out. Play around with it and see what works.

3. Link from your website/social networking sites

If you have a website or if you are part of some social networking sites (such as myspace or facebook) prominently display a link to your blog. This will make it easy for people on the web to know that your blog exists.

4. Don't forget about printed materials

Yeah, we know it's a digital age, but you know something, paper isn't dead, and it's won't be anytime soon. Make sure that you list your blog address on any printed material where you list your website or e-mail address. This includes anything from business cards to letterhead.

5. Most Importantly

Last (but definitely not least) post regularly and often. It not only brings readers back but also cause search engines to index your blog more frequently. So, post away, and most importantly HAVE FUN!
