As part of June's Build Your Month project, I'm going through the Yakezie challengers and members list and making sure that I've subscribed to all of the blogs, liked you on Facebook, and follow you on Twitter. This simple step, if taken by many of us, will certainly help to push our numbers in the right direction and keep us connected to the great content in the network that is worth sharing with our own readers.
Go through the list and like, follow, and subscribe to your fellow Yakezians! (Yakeziers?)

As I'm looking through your blogs, I have a request: make it SUPER EASY to find your RSS feed, Facebook and Twitter! Don't make readers hunt for it! The easier it is to find and follow you, the more people will use it! I've come across a few with tiny type, half way down the page, and one that didn't link me correctly. Make sure it all works!

I'm stopping by each blog individually and add them to my RSS, following on Twitter, and liking on Facebook. I don't think there is a Twitter list, and even a complete list of Yakeziers (Yakezians?) is probably incomplete.
Here's the list I'm using, which is Crytal at BITFS's list with a few additions. http://thesavedquarter.com/yakezie/

So true! I try to add each member and challenger, but if I can't find it, I don't do it!

This is a great idea! I've put it on my list of things to do this month as well.

Everyone should do that anyway! If you want people to subscribe, make it painfully obvious and easy enough that a lazy person would do it. Put it right on top with easy, one click links. Also, make sure to have share buttons on each post. If I want to share and can't find a button, I just move on. If there is a Tweet or Like button, I leave by clicking on it.

Question: Should I use a color other than green for my Twitter/RSS buttons? Do you see them right away? I do, but I think it's because I'm used to my site.

I see it right off the bat, JT. Do you use Facebook? I followed you on Twitter and added you to my RSS feed.

Those are easy to see. Most of the problem I've had finding the button have been on blogger sites where the owner just used the default instead of adding more visible buttons.

I have a list of Twitter accounts for mostly Yakezie members (and some other finance tweeters as well).
http://www.maximizingmoney.com…..-tweeters/
It may be of assistance if you want to easily follow a bunch of Yakezie Twitter accounts.
If anyone is not in it, just let me know, and I can add you.

I don't see myself on your Challenger list – I joined the challenge last month and would appreciate the likes and follows.

Are these big enough social networking buttons? http://www.fsyaonline.com/about-us Then scroll to the middle of the page.
You can't miss them lol! I got the idea from John Chow.
I also have my rss twitter and fbook on the front page left bar. I'll be working on liking,following and sharing this month. Thanks for sharing your list.

Thank you, Kay and TSQ. It's always good to get another set of eyeballs since I've already pretty much memorized my own layout. :)

Great ideas everyone – my links are in my signature below. I'll be sure to follow any new Yakeziers I haven't followed already!

Hey Max, would you be able to add my member (http://twitter.com/knsfinancial) and challenger (http://twitter.com/FGSW) sites to your list?
Thanks!

When I clicked through, I did not expect them to be that big! Your readers have no excuse! lol
