I'm going to hit the pool... Blogging Tip (Free)

8 replies
Hey Guys,

I'm about to cool off and take a swim.. Unfortunately, my hotel is near the airport (no, I'm not flying anywhere) and the planes keep flying over head. Anyway, let me give you a quick blogging tip free of charge.

Have you been wanting to get more visitors to your blog, and get more comments on your posts?

Here's a tip: Create a contest, and send a professional e-mail to providers in your niche, asking for sponsorship. On my small blog, I got over $400 in sponsorships just by sending a couple e-mails.

Every one of my posts after that started getting 5+ comments, as it was a commenting contest.

Just a quick tip.

Caleb

      This could have been a double opt-in, easy.
      Hey,

      That's a wonderful idea, that I never really thought about, I was just thinking about getting users to stay on your site, and possibly click/buy whatever you use to monetize.

        Hey Steven,

        Basically you would set up a contest, whether it be a blog commenting contest (like say, a draw ticket for every comment). Then you would e-mail people in your niche, for example for a site I had about making money, and blogging I e-mailed WP Theme Sites, and Web Hosts ~ I ended up getting over $400 in sponsors, as well as a vBulletin License.

        Then you launch the contest. For getting opted in with your WP Comments, you would need to look at a WP Plugin, I don't know one off by hand atm.

        Off I am for supper.
