Blogging Etiquette (10/10)

This is the tenth and last post of the “How To Blog” series and I’d like to close it with some advice on blog­ging etiquette.

20+ Tools For Your Blog (9/10)

Today, I’d like to share some­thing even more per­sonal than clothes, make-up or a tooth­brush: book­marks. We all have our favorite sites or tools to make blog­ging eas­ier… here are mine: a col­lec­tion of links to online tools, great blogs and gen­er­a­tors for the geeks impaired.

Note that all these tools are free and none of these links are sponsored!

Ranking A Blog (8/10)

Who loves you? Yeah, prob­a­bly a bunch of real life peo­ple. But blog-wise, who is you friend and who isn’t?

Today, we will explore the dif­fer­ent tools you can use to assess your blog rank­ing. Is your blog pop­u­lar? Easy to find? High-ranked? Fol­lowed by reg­u­lar read­ers or one-time visitors?

Making Money With Your Blog (7/10)

Mon­e­tiz­ing a blog takes time. First, you have to build good con­tent. Yes, just sign­ing up for a blog isn’t enough. These two days old blogs full of ads but still with the default “wel­come” mes­sage always makes me laugh. Yeah, I wish it was that easy.…! You also have to some­how mas­ter the basic of SEO (Search Engine Opti­miza­tion) to be found on search engines. And finally, you have to inves­ti­gate the best ways to make money on your blog.

Tweak Your Blog (6/10)

A fun part of blog­ging is tweak­ing and cus­tomiz­ing your blog. Not only you will be able to trans­form a default template/ theme into a unique piece of art­work, but you will also get a chance to catch read­ers’ eyes. And that’s priceless!

We’ve already cov­ered what you needed to put on your blog, and for Word­Press users, what were the best plu­g­ins. Now, let’s have a lot at what you can do to tweak and cus­tomize your blog.

Must Have On Your Blog (5/10)

We’ve already cov­ered a few sub­jects in this series, and today, I wanted to high­light how impor­tant it is to have a few basic infor­ma­tions on your blog.

The Art Of Promoting A Blog (4/10)

What most peo­ple (includ­ing me when I first started) don’t real­ize, is no mat­ter how great your blog is, chances are that if you don’t pro­mote it, peo­ple won’t find it. There are appar­ently over 50–60 mil­lions blogs world­wide and your blog could be lost in a dark cor­ner of the inter­net for­ever if you don’t “hunt” for readers.

Be The Blogger People Read (3/10)

Do you have a blog? Yes? Good. Cause I’m a pretty curi­ous woman (some would say it’s an euphemism…) and I love to browse blogs. Chances are that if you ever left a com­ment at my blog, ever sent me an email or just showed up here, I vis­ited you. I have plenty of feed in my RSS Reader and I’m pretty quick to click on the magic “sub­scribe” but­ton. But I’m human too — not all blogs attract me.
