My long awaited dream has come true: I just published my blog! Astrology included. You all can see it at https://www.thebearsnose.com/
Best wishes!
Congrats! As someone who is also trying to make a blog, I may have to get some experience from you as well
I've been planning this for a year or so, and finally got it off the ground. I've never had a regular blog before, though. I haven't decided yet how often I'll write. I think it has to depend on how busy I am otherwise and how much time and energy I have to put into it.I have difficulty in gaining traction. I don't how how to get people to come read my blog. I also have this... insecurity that what I write ***** and I deserve to be hidden Idk how long you have ventured into this, so do you have any idea?
I'm a member of a FB movie group that allows members to post link at the first day of each month. I post my link on there sometimes and I can see people liking my FB post. I think at least someone reading. Also, I currently allow comments on my blog. And no one comes to comment, so far
Wow! It's a shame that I missed this thread, good luck for you ms Osa!
Oh... could that be where I'm going wrong? It could be that I become too passionate I crank up so many ideas in one single space. Now that I think about it, did I unintentionally hinder discussions?What could anyone really say about a detailed movie summary/review?
To get comments, you have to not only have them enabled, you also have to be writing something people will want to put in their 2 cents on. If you wrote about a movie that lots of people have seen and have opinions on, and if your reviews provided your own opinion (i.e. "Hermione clearly likes Ron"), you would be more likely to spark some discussion.
I've been thinking of guest post too, but I don't know where to begin But yeah, I understand that you want to start small at this point.I have some ideas that might drive more traffic to my site down the road. I've invited some people I know who have similar things to write about to guest post on my blog. If they guest post with me, and if I guest post with them, then we get each other's followers, because they all want to see what their person wrote elsewhere. I'm also considering an "ask the astrologer" feature, where people could submit questions to me and I would answer them, in a similar style to AW posting.
But initially, the idea is just to have a site.
What's your reason for having this blog?Oh... could that be where I'm going wrong? It could be that I become too passionate I crank up so many ideas in one single space. Now that I think about it, did I unintentionally hinder discussions?
Do you know anyone--either online or irl--who also blogs about movies? Who would be interested in the kinds of movies you review, and might have some different takes on them? That's who to cross post with. Or, if you know a blogger who could write something complementary to what you write--maybe they're a script writer, or used to work in movie production, or know about the technological side of it--then it could be them.I've been thinking of guest post too, but I don't know where to begin But yeah, I understand that you want to start small at this point.
Also of interest, is your Ask an Astrologer section. You are very compassionate in your readings.
Thank you, Opal
