Following a comment from world-class blogger Redsaid....Cherryflava found this interesting article by another blog genius Biz Stone who works for Google's blogger service.
If you're struggling to generate good hits to your site, he's got some really good trips and tricks to help you satisfy your desire to build your site's brand. Alot of the article will only apply if you are a blogger subscriber, but check it out...it could be applicable.
Think of your audience. A good way to build an audience is to cultivate one. When you keep your audience in mind, you are focusing your writing. This helps you develop a stronger voice and is instrumental in creating the brand that is you as put forth through your blog. Again, this is more of an overarching, long-term technique for building traffic and won't have immediate results. Nevertheless, focus goes a long way toward repeat visitors.
Cherryflava being in the business of building brands couldn't have written the article better.
"World class," eh? Honestly darling, I'm starting to worry about you: aren't you too young for a midlife crisis? ;-) (Thanks, though... I really do enjoy your compliments, despite my tough exterior they make me turn all mush-like inside.)
Brilliant idea, and thanks for the link-love. And now I'm off to work on a story about the ever-fascinating subject of... my hair.
Happy weekend!
