Paying attention to too many dilutes your focus.

It’s also refreshing to see someone else agree with the fact that blog marketing isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” method.

So many people seem to want to tell others that you have to do it this way or that way, when in reality, the blogger that is saying that probably has only one blog. And that blog is a specific niche. So why do they think that their exact method applies to everyone?

We can all learn something from someone. Everyone is in a different circumstance than everyone else.

Just don’t get duped into thinking that that shiny piece of pyrite you’re being sold is true gold.

I have two blogs, one for book reviews and the other is my more personal/nerdy side. I have heard some absolutely terrible advice, ranging from “share your post every five minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 6 am & 10 am for best traffic” (That’s just annoying) to “Keywords, keywords, keywords! Use as many as possible in your post. Plug them in at least three times per paragraph.” (Yes, because THAT’S not keyword stuffing.)

Thanks for sharing!

As I new blogger, I spend a decent amount of time researching the “how-to” of blogging. {I love digging into it so much that I have to remind myself to actually take the time to apply what I’m learning. 🙂 } I have learned that I need to be reading information from bloggers who have proved themselves (like here). I’m trying to be more selective.

Thanks for providing such a great resource!! I keep coming back for more.

One more thing. Don’t always listen to the experts. When the experts said last year to only post 2-3 times a day on FB, I decided to try posting 12 times a day. We went from 15K likes to 300K likes. Our reach went from 50 to 5,000.

Then we started posting 24 hours a day 1/2 our stuff 1/2 others and our reach was up to 1.2 Mil now with the new FB changes it’s still 700K+.

If I would have listened to the experts then we would be way down in traffic.

I will spend time reading something or watching an hour long video only to find out the person isn’t really doing that well.

So now if I’m learning something about FB or Pinterest the VERY FIRST thing I do go see their numbers. Some people will tell you “it’s not about numbers, don’t compare yourself” well I got news for them, it is ALL about the numbers. If you don’t have the numbers you don’t have the $ coming! 🙂 So yes, check their numbers before you waste time listening to their advice.

Another thing is when someone tells you “we have 500K visitors to our site each month” make sure that’s true. I’ve had people tell me that and then I’m thinking “what are we doing wrong?” only to find out it’s Pageviews and not Visitors! There’s a HUGE difference in those two words!
