Doh! 

I read this and thought...I instinctively know this one and yet I forget to do it. This time, as you can see, I've been interlinking posts! 

I think a checklist need ds to be on the left side of my column bar that gives me all the goodies on how to make a blog better! 

1. Did you interlink?
2. Did you promote this blog?
3. Is your title killer?

all that good stuff! So Task 3 would be...Click HERE to start at the BEGINNING

Task 2: What Do Others Say?

Ask friends to describe my blog...

I found this to be more of an on going job to keep me on track. I went so far as to ask readers to contact me if I could improve my blog and what they thought of it. 

  Friends told me my picture needed to be updated and I needed to define what my blog was about, but it got good ratings for Hubspot's Market Grader a cool site that will help you maximize your efforts!

Task 1: 31 Days To Build A Better Blog. 
 
This is ultimately about BRAND. In a sentence that one word says, "this is what I'm about and what you can expect from me."

If you veer off that course, people stop trusting you. 

So, we are obviously not talking about this blog because it's motto is NO BRAND. 

We ARE talking about www.trollriverpub.com because that blog has the most to gain from these lessons.

Here's my thought: TRP is a blog where writer's can learn about writing and publishing.

That's a bit boring. Especially for me. 

But then I thought about my author blog and that one is Spice and then some so we've got to balance out the scale, right?

The Dirty Blog is a refreshing take on the social taboos in life. That I care about those who want to better themselves and take charge of what they think of themselves. That this blog is a safe place to express oneself. 

Hopefully, that is what's conveyed! I've even put a blurb to readers of the blog to contact me if I can improve the experience. 

So far, I think TASK 1 has improved my blog and my reasons.

Dear Mr. Darren Rowse;

After purchasing your ebook, 31 Days TO BUILD A BETTER BLOG, I knew I would love this book after I turned the pages and immediately got to TASK 1.

I'm all in for action! I love that you get me to DO not just preach at me or passively tell me "what I need to know". I'm now a fan and shall support your endeavors.

Your book is so outstanding and deserves to be known as a blogger bible. I want every blogger that has a goal in mind to read this book!

Since you give us a hashtag and encourage us to blog about this, that's what I'm going to do. I will now have a label #31DBBBDefineYourBrand. 

And thank you Jeff Goins for introducing me to this book. You too have a fantastic blog for writers and look forward to your posts and emails every day.


Sincerely,

Stephanie McKibben



Watch my journey to build a better blog! Continue forth!
