Some ways to build your blogging community

For a new blog it is always necessary to have good bond with other senior blogs to cope up in this massive Internet blogging world.Creating a good community with the fellow bloggers is a way to make your blog look sensible and get some descent traffic with popularity.

Here are some of the ways you can make your blogging community stronger

1. Comments – A simple basic technique which is used by every blog owner.Just leave a comment on the blog.Make sure your comments are genuine and not any spam/duplicated comment,write the comment related to the post or ask any questions if you are in doubt about the topic posted.Just stick to the point!

2. Use twitter – I never knew the power of Twitter,you can make friendship with many blog owner and if you have made a good impression on that person (or if he likes your blog) then he will surely follow you.Twitter is the best way to clarify some of your blogging doubts.Remember to share good links with the followers so that they are aware of your activity.

3. Add them – If you really like a blog then don’t hesitate to comment/contact and ask the blog owner to provide his/her mail id,add them on the gtalk or whatever client you are using(i use digsby) and chat with them to make a good bond.Make sure you don’t disturb them like I do! (Sorry Amit and Ben)

4. Guest posting – Guest posting not only gives you a strong back link but also builds the bond in between you and the blog owner.I love guest posting,I have done it on dailyapps and Amit blog.

5. Yea,Social networking – Their are many social networking web sites like Facebook, orkut where you can find the blog owners and add them as a friend.make sure you ask any help (don’t ask money!) and they will definitely help you.Just wait for their reply and don’t spam their inbox

6. Have fun – Many people wants to make their blog professional,I don’t recommend that until you are matured enough and you have good experience in that particular topic,write in a natural way and bring out the ideas from your mind.Also reply to the comments you receive and point out to the person who commented (See this).A kid called Siddharth started to follow me on twitter because of the fun we had in commenting to a post!

You can add me here !
