Finding Blogs to Read
By admin | October 23, 2008
You may be thinking of starting a blog? Have you thought about looking at other blogs to get some ideas? I am reasonably happy with mine as it stands but if I had researched it before I got going, I might have come up with a much better look. You might want to think about looking at other blogs,before you start your own.
Where do you start? There are so many blogs online now that you can be forgiven for sufferinrg from overload. How do you sort out the ones that are relevant to you and provide you with good information and that you might be able to emulate, phew!
Start with the search engines. Type in a few keywords, add blog on the end to filter the results and start searching. You are probably better off searching for collections of blogs rather than searching for them all individually.
Look at message boards and forums in your chosen niche if there are any. People posting to these will often have their own blog and you can have a look at those. You will have to be a bit discriminating because there is often a lot of spam in the forums and message boards. Look for people who post regularly, they are more likely to be genuine.
What about recommendations from family or friends?What are they reading? If you share interests with them then they are likely to be looking at blogs as well. Get some ideas.
I am not suggesting that you spend all your time looking at blogs, but at the early stages,taking some time to research wht blogs are out there in your field, what they look like, what they contain etc, can pay dividends later on.
Til next time
