Can I get some support? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I am looking for some help for my blog. Except on the announcement for joining Yakezie, fellow members or challengers didn't comment on my posts. Where I went on doing my duty as a member since the day I joined. Can I request you to read and leave some valuable comments on my recent posts? Also 12 feed subscribers is not looking smart, if you can help there too..

Growing feed subscribers takes time.  With good content you'll get there.  (Some have luck with giveaways)

 

If you leave thoughtful comments on other blogs, bloggers will normally return the favor.

Agreed on both points.  When I started I was leaving 20-30 comments a day on the sites I read daily (about 70 or so).  But the comments need to be good ones.

Regarding RSS subscribers, when I started I had my total # of RSS posted in a widget on my site.  I was advised to remove that widget until I got to 50-75 subscribers (I waited until we got to 100).  The reasoning was that readers see a low number and thing "no one else is subscribing, why should I?".  On the flip side, they see a larger number and thing "oh, I should subscribe too – lots of other people do!".

I'm with MoneyCone and SustainablePF. You'll find that leaving substantial, helpful, thoughtful comments on other blogs will garner you comments in return. 

Also, go through and subscribe to other Yakezie challenger and member blogs, follow on Facebook and Twitter, and send a quick note to the blogger to let them know that you did and something specific you are enjoying on their blog. Take the time to individually reach out other bloggers and those who ARE commenting on your blog and you'll get people coming back.

And keep participating in the forum! Join the blog swaps and other activities here.

It's rough getting started but I'm sure you'll pick up in no time. 

thanks for sharing your own experiences. No, I am not looking for overnight success. It's a good sugesstion to remove the bardge till it reaches certain number. Will take care of it.

I love your site. I just left a comment. It was my first time visiting. I agree that you should not post feed subscribers until the number reaches 100. I think that a lower number actually discourages people from subscribing.

yes received and replied too. Many thanks for stopping by

Yeah, it can be tough in the beginning.I remember not even being able to get my friends and family to leave comments (or even visit the site)!

I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to visit other Yakezie blogs recently (unless someone sends me a message on Twitter requesting promotion or something). I plan to get some help soon, so I'll be more supportive.

I just followed you on Twitter from both of my accounts, subscribed to your RSS feed, and liked you on Facebook.

I plan to start back doing my weekly roundups as well.

If you ever need me to promote an important article, or you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Just left a comment. It's true that there are so many blogs and even Yakezie ones, that it's hard to get around to all of them. You will notice that when you start getting involved you will build a slow and steady readership. Also you just started in March so it will take some time.

 

Stay active in the forums and check out the pinned topic of the official list of Yakezie challengers and members so you can visit and stay connected.

I'm working on getting around to them all and I must say it's no easy task!

That is great advice!

I just left a comment and it is in moderation. I think your article inspired me to write a post about my experience (which I briefly mentioned in the comment)!

Khaleef, its no longer in moderation, thank you for this gesture,

Thanks to All of you who visited and read my blog. A lot of good advices I am getting here. It is required to be successful in anything you do, to have patience and consistency. Even those overnight billionaires bunked classes and worked day and night to earn what they earned.

After joining Yakezie my daily page visits increased by around 40 -50%. Largely to you and reputaiton of Yakezie group.

I like the site! Just commented on your recent post! :)

yes saw that, I am doing all these while still at work! reply to all of your comments from home

The others have definitely shared some good tips. I would also add an email subscribe option. Not everyone, me included uses and RSS feed. Some of us like just checking our email. Once you add one let me know and I can subscribe.
