http://blog.marketingtipsforauthors.com/2009/06/how-to-get-second-chance-for-published.html

"Think about your title before you slap it on a post. It's much too important a factor to add a title with no thought. But if you find yourself wishing you had gone with a new title, or just wondering if another one would have been better, don't lose heart. There are some simple things you can do which gives you a "second change" at creating a great blog post title. "

Setting up Feedburner RSS and Email subscription for your blog

"Most blogs have RSS feed which is detected automatically by commonly used feed readers when the blog URL is added to the reader.

However, if you want to make it more obvious and easier for readers to subscribe using RSS, or want to know exactly how many people subscribe to your blog then the best option is to add a Feedburner RSS feed and email subscription to your blog.

Feedburner is a free web service which enhances bloggers and podcasters ability to manage their RSS feeds and track usage of their subscribers. "

How Many Times Should You Tweet Your Blog Post?

"Post at least twice in a day and post it for two days. That means you’re posting it 4 times. You can spread them out 12 hours apart. This is because not everyone will be on twitter everyday unless they are twitter addicts like you and me of course. I personally post tweets from 2 -4 times and testing different titles."

11 Ways to maximise your blog traffic

"2. Post regularly—you don’t want to be a sitting duck. Make your blog interesting, dynamic, and relevant. Post often, but not so often that you overwhelm your subscribers with update spam. The biggest challenge for many would-be writers is getting into the habit of writing. If you make it a point to blog 250 words per day, you’ll soon get into the writing groove. Once you’re reliably posting that amount, you can increase the word count or designate some of your daily writing time to work on a novel or short story."

Is it worth publishing my blog on Kindle?

"All of the content on my blog is available free of charge online, so why on earth would anyone want to pay for it?"

http://www.birdsontheblog.co.uk/is-it-worth-publishing-my-blog-on-kindle/

"Blog content is auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle and updated throughout the day. The Kindle is small and lightweight; much more portable and manageable than a laptop. You can read offline and catch up on your reading in your spare time – when you’re away from your computer screen, and wherever you are."

How to Publish Your Blog on the Amazon Kindle

"There are some interesting things you can do with a Kindle. One of them is the ability to subscribe to and read your favorite blogs on the go. In fact, this is how my mother reads my blog posts – via Mashable on the Kindle.

It’s an easy and on-the-go way to read your favorite blogs, but it was only available to a few high-profile web publications – at least, until today, when Amazon launched its Kindle Publishing for Blogs program. Now that you know about the program, your next question might be: how do I get my blog syndicated to thousands of Kindles?"

How to publish your blog to Kindle (Britmums Blog)

"Amazon have recently allowed blogs to be self-published on their Kindle store. This facility allows you to upload your blog for sale to all Kindle users. Once you have completed this process your blog will be reviewed by Amazon and available for download within 48-72 hours. "

"• Look at this as a marketing tool rather than a get-rich-quick scheme. Your commission is 30%. This isn’t going to make you an overnight fortune.
[...]
• Ask everyone to review your blog. It is free to review and it gives subscribers an idea of what to expect."

12 Rules for Writing a Great Blog

"If you’re struggling to keep up with writing your blog, here are 12 ideas that will help you write a blog that is compelling, powerful, and fun to write."

http://bookmarketingmaven.typepad.com/book_marketing_maven/2011/04/12-rules-for-writing-a-great-blog.html

"Blog posts are usually from 200 to 500 words. Rarely more than 800 words. Any longer, and people tend to skim or skip them. They look like too much work. If you have more to say, write an article, and if you have a lot more to say, write a book. When writing a blog post, be succinct, clear, and get your point across fast. The web is not made for leisurely reading. Think of your readers hopping like fleas from one blog to another; a sip of blood here, another sip there. "

Keywords: A writer’s guide to attracting more traffic to your blog

"This is very much part of the magic and requires you, the writer, to decide on what keywords or phrase you will target with each page. The simplest way to do this is to determine who you wish to reach and try to second guess the keywords they are most likely to type into a search engine."

How Outposts Improve Your Ecosystem

"Thinking of your primary online presence as your home base (and it doesn’t have to be a blog, but Twitter isn’t necessarily the right medium, I don’t think), and then thinking of the places where you make social connections as your outposts (realized I forgot LinkedIn, but I’m there too, obviously), then you see how you might prioritize your time and/or how you might try keeping the value chain alive.

10 tips for crafting a blog sidebar that is functional, clean, and effective

"Each time a blogger applies to become a Novel Publicity blog tour host, I break out my handy evaluation worksheet and go to work assessing this new blog. I look for what the blogger is doing right, what she’s doing wrong, and what she could be doing differently. The purpose of this evaluation is to help the blogger achieve 100 hits per day (on new post days), so that she can host our authors on her blog, which means free books, introductions to emerging authors, and the chance to win prizes."

Daveid Gilmour - the blog

"The Blog is the most remarkable part of David’s website; it’s where fans can have their say on a wide variety of topics, not necessarily about David or even music in general.

David reads it, he does not write it. It’s run by a fan, for fans."

Google Plus is Not Your Blog

"No matter what, no matter how much more engagement you get on a place like Google+, it is not your “home base.” It’s your “outpost.” That means, it’s a place where you can go to have interactions with people, on “neutral ground,” and that in the course of those interactions, should someone want to know more about you, learn more about what you do, understand how you might interact further, that’s when they will move from your outpost property on Google+ over to your home base on your website or blog. "

"Put the most VALUE at your home base (blog) and spend the most TIME at the outposts (networks like Google+)."

Display your Profile Picture in Google next to all your Blog Articles

"If you write a blog or have a website where authors can contribute stories, here’s a new feature in Google - Authorship - that you’ll find very hard to ignore (and you should not).

Google can now display your name as well as your profile picture in search results next to stories that you may have written. The picture will in turn link to your Google Profile page. You may want to see this page on Google for a live example."
