Build A Better Blog Day 5: Email A Blog Reader

Okay, here's the thing...I have crickets, except for my mom and my boyfriend, on my blog.

Now, when I guest post, I respond to every comment. But that's not the same as emailing. I also hold back because I don't want to be creepy girl. Yep...

So I don't want to be stalker girl, but Darren says it's okay...so I went ahead and emailed--myself. Dear self, thanks for listening!

Fortunately, ProBlogger gave me a mini task for my cricket blog. I'm to go to other blogs and comment. I totally do, but only when I have relevant things to say. I don't comment to get my name out there, I comment to give good info.

No blah, blah, blah. I do that enough on this blog. Some might see this tactic as outdated, but it still works for me. If you have valuable info to give, then people will respond. When you serve and stop promoting, you get more readers.

The Origin of "Nose Droppings"

Hello and welcome!

Professional marketers rally to brand yourself. A single focus on which you can hone your message that is effective for connecting. For this reason alone, I am a marketing nightmare.

I am not one thing but many. I can't write my novel and not let horses creep their way into my stories. I can't work on my marketing efforts without applying what I learn to relationships. I am not just about dressage. I am not just about marketing. I don't just focus on writing or my relationships. Hiking with my dog is also very big part of who I am and to wrap that all up is why I consider myself a hiking dressage trainer that writes.

I don't do just one thing so my brand seems to be a craptastic load of things. You see this is where it's all mixed-up and blown into the world. This is me. I am my brand.

Pin me on Pinterest to the board of "supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus". This is where you see me and those dregs that slide down the olfactory orifice. This is where you see my moments of triumph. This is where I share embarrassing moments or rants that I don't really want you to share with anyone else. This is where I share me.

Take it or leave it, good, bad or ugly but always aspiring for amusement.
