People ask for travel recommendations, advice how to fix a problem with their blog and everything in-between. This makes you more human and I’m more likely to want to get to know a human with a real life than one who only talks business all day long.

Some even boast high rankings and good sized communities. It took me 6 months to acquire a good amount of traffic and cultivate a community on my blog and the same goes for any new blogger. I had my first blog in 2000 where I did daily entries on my cross-country travels. Glen , too, got an early start. Way to go Kids!

This is a major consideration for us, given how much I travel (and how much I’ll likely travel in the next couple years after The Now Revolution – my forthcoming book with Amber Naslund – is published in February). Safe travels! Safe travels to you all. Will there be bumps along the way? Definitely.

by Tamar Weinberg on July 8, 2008 Share With many individuals finding great success with social media (and as an aside, a basic understanding of search engine optimization ), they immediately consider themselves social media marketers and consultants (as well as seasoned SEOs) and offer to sell their promotional services. Others aren’t.

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Give them a reason to want to communicate.
