Join the Communities
Becoming part of communities is something that everyone should do specially if your wanting to get your blog out there, or trying to get people famaliar with who you are. When becoming part of communities its a lot easier to establish your self and your website such as a community driven website, and building a community can take some time thats for damn sure sometimes it can takes a months if not years to get it going somewhat ok just depends on how much time and effort you put into the website, but any one can do it, put it this way if someone else can do it why can’t you.
So what should you do when your becoming part of a community?
- Participate in forums that are related to your niche believe it or not this can be very effective if you leverage the people right. I use to think forums were a waste of time, but if you actually learn how to leverage them they can do some positives things for you I know they sure have for us by far.
- Participate in others blogs such as commenting and getting people famaliar with who you are. When people see your comments they check you out I know they sure do me :).
- Write on other people blogs if you’d like personally this is not something I do, but a lot of people like to do it. I don’t know I just don’t have the desire to write on other peoples blog even though I have though about it because I could write on some very popular blogs out there.
- Brand your self in forums and other places make sure you brand your self as an expert in your field or someone that people need to talk to, or so you at least can get them to subscribe to your feed. Make sure your noticeable on who you are I see people all the time hiding there identity like its a secret make sure people know your name, and who you are and what you do.
Building a community driven website can be a task and thats for sure. It takes a lot of dedication and time. I’ve watched people go from 0 subscribers to 15k in 3 years which I wish I would of started our blog a long time ago because if i did it would of been popping off by now, but things are moving in a positive direction thats for sure. Just make sure you join the communities and your not too stuck up and participate and even bring some search engine traffic that will really help.
