I have done all of the above already and I can say it has made a difference. I went from about 20 readers to over 3,000 a month. However I am now stuck. I seem to have stopped growing. I am maintaining my readers so that is good. How do I kick off that next growth spurt?

Very good post – not only because I enjoyed it but also because it gave me food for thought. Your post just sparked an idea for a woodworking project I’ve been contemplating. Thank you so much.

Stumbled it!

Good tips except to the fact that author’s preference on hosted blogs. I know it is kind of personal preference, but I do want to say that I came across blogs hosted in free hosts with great content. Again, it depends on what the user wants!

I have heard the sticking to one topic or few topics advice thousands of times and guess what? It doesn’t mean a thing. I have seen people who have followed being “consistent” and the blog is a graveyard and I’ve seen people who are all over the map with topics command huge audiences. So I will disagree with you there. It’s all about delivery. If you have it, people will follow you through any topic because you’re a good story teller. I’ve been blogging for years and I’ve seen this same advice preach tons of times and it’s just all noise.

I have two blogs – a personal one and a theology/philosophy one that I started a few weeks ago. My personal blog is just that – personal. It’s about me and what I do. And, surprisingly, I’ve got quite a few readers! I’m not sure how I got those but am now becoming interested in publicising my blog.

Can you explain further why using Facebook and Twitter are bad ideas? I’m currently testing Twitter, but not finding it very useful, given my other means of online communication.
