Oh My!&q...Over at <a href="http:www.hippiesbeautyandbooksohmy.com" rel="nofollow">"Hippies, Beauty, and Books. Oh My!"</a> we incorporate a lot of these. We have only been running since last June but have grown exponentially beyond our beliefs. And I have to say, your tips are right on. <br /><br />We follow Memes all the time. Originally it was to help build traffic. but it turned into something more fun. It's neat seeing what others are saying and having that dialogue starter to be able to converse with other bloggers.<br /><br />Traffic is not everything. We do have a lot of followers over at our little site. But to be honest, my wife and I hardly ever notice. What we do notice is the return readers and the familiar names in the comments section. Those comments have been very gratifying to us.<br /><br />And most importantly, scheduling is HUGE! We never have enough time to get done what we want to get done. That blog has turned into a full time job with my wife spending more then 30+ hours a week and me more then 20+ hours a week on it. The reviews we can almost never stay on top of. We have so many books coming in it's difficult. When I have down time at work I get a few general articles written and get them scheduled. Let me tell you, stumbling and news sites have become great inspiration for opinion pieces.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471619144106102753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853068997764520958.post-50270804077615079822012-04-17T21:30:32.995-05:002012-04-17T21:30:32.995-05:00Thanks for the fantastic tips!
