Please Read My Blog...

Getting people to read your blog is one thing, getting them to comment, and coming back to keep reading it are quite different.

Where I think the battle begins is with content. Without fresh, new content on a steady-basis, you're not going to gain any credibility, and you certainly won't obtain subscribers. In order to get people to discuss your blog, you need to be part of the discussion as well, especially as you continue to build your credibility.

So, I've been immersing myself in the blogosphere. I've been commenting on some related blogs and I'm getting ready to step up my efforts and start commenting on a daily basis, while making an effort to post on my own blog more often.

In addition, since I talk so much about the permission marketing concept, I've started to do a bit of permission marketing myself. What better place to attract people to read a blog about social networks than social networks? I've been messaging both friends and strangers who are really into social networking to tell them about my blog and attract them to my URL.

These efforts combined over time should start generating some credibility, hits, and eventually commentary as well. Until then, please read my blog and let's keep the conversation going!
