Be A Better Blogger Part II

This is the second of two posts about Being a Better Blogger
These are my notes from the book 10 Quick Steps to Chris Pirillo's Blog Traffic School. I downloaded it from Audible.

6. Do something different. Everyone writes. How can you do something different with your web space? Use audio, pictures, Geo maps or something to make your blog different.
Provide intermediation. What is your gimmick?
7. Feed the Need Get an RSS Feed. (I am working on this)
8. Go with the flow. Look at the web and what other people are talking about. How can you add your voice to this conversation?

Keep up with Current Memes Internet memes occur when something relatively unknown becomes increasingly popular, often quite suddenly, through the mass propagation of media content made feasible
by the Internet.



9. Work with other drivers. How can you make your community better? Create a community blog or a Meta blog. Link Prolifically!
Another MUST read book about the community changes and the end of business as usual caused by the WWW can be found in the book The Cluetrain Manifesto This is a Great book and it really defines making the world a better place in part through blogging.


10 Don’t drink and blog. Sounding like an idiot due to either poor grammer or because you found yourself in a state of relaxed entoxication and decided to blog isn't likely to change anything.
