Blogging For VAs

Have you noticed all the different communities available now for bloggers? So many places to list your blog to attract visitors and readers, or dare I say it? Fans. Particularly since I’ve been hanging around LinkedIn I’ve been learning about other places to list my blogs, and to mix and mingle with other bloggers. LinkedIn has a bloggers discussion group and I’ve learnt heaps from them. If you missed my post on Linked in, then please go and read it now.

Going back to the blogging communities, I’m going to list some of them here for you to go and check out!

Blog Catalog – great place to list all your blogs in one place. They have a new discussion forum here and it’s a great place to get to meet other bloggers.

Bumpzee – this has a growing Australian list of bloggers here and I’m still just setting up my profile.

Digg – important to understand what this one is about and that you don’t ‘digg’ your own blogposts as that’s a quick way to get ‘buried’. Now, I’m still learning the terminology and my time has been limited over the past few weeks so I know very little still, but it’s worth going to check it out.

Mybloglog – another place where lots of social bloggers hang out, and travel from one blogger’s profile to another, leaving comments and joining your ‘community’.

Squidoo – love this one and am still exploring. I was going to list all my blogs in the one profile but then decided to categorise them so have 3 ‘lenses’ set up instead. Their list of ‘topics’ seems to be limited though – I’d like to see a bigger choice and perhaps that might happen with time.

Stumbled Upon – still working this one out but you can do random visits of blogs and let people know which ones you like and don’t like. There is a toolbar you can install to your browser for use.

This is not an exhaustive list and I’m sure I will find others too, but thought it will help your blogging journey! KMT

  1. Hi Kathie
    Thanks for this. I have just got into blogging and the more I read and surf on the topic the more I realise there is to know. You could very easily spend all day learning about this so it is wonderful to have you as a resource to condense hours of learning into quick grabs. Thanks Kathie, you are a great resource and I consider myself lucky to have found you!
    Cheers
    Janet

  2. Gee thanks, Janet, I really appreciate your comment. Yes, it is addictive and if I didn’t have to work and earn a living guess what I’d be doing all day long! 🙂 Thank goodness for evenings and weekends!

    By the way – Richard’s done a great job on my new header and I’m really thrilled with it.

  3. How do you ever keep up with all your own blogs and sites and your business. What an impressive empire you have created. It seems al though you have redesigned this one since I last stopped by.

    Thanks for the great list of resources for VA’s. I’ll hop back over to my own blog and make a mention of this post.

    Best wishes, Katie

  4. Thanks Katie for your comment. ’empire’ – not thought of it in that way before 🙂

    I do a lot of research online and reading – always lots to explore and learn. I do have a number of blogs and try to make sure all have new content monthly and only a small number have new content weekly – this one I try to make sure it’s 2 or 3 times a week. And yes, I decided to develop this template further so that it had a definite matching look to my main website – hope you like it! I’ll be popping by your blog also when I know the post is up.
