A few days ago @mattchevy completed an awesome review of my blog. I loved his advice and as I mentioned in the last post, you will begin to notice a few changes around here. In case you missed the video, you can check it out here.
Here is a brief summary of what I took from his review:
- MOVE TO WORDPRESS - this was his number one bit of advice, and one I am keen on following…soon. On that note, Everyday Public Relations will be moving on October 1st so make sure you check back soon. The URL will NOT change, but the look and feel will be different. so please be free to share your feedback.
- Make sure your traffic is all going to the same place. When I merge both EPR blogs this problem hopefully will solve itself.
- JUST SAY NO – to Google ads.They clutter up your blog and provide such a tiny bit of revenue (none in my case) that they are really unnecessary.
- JUST SAY YES – to affiliate advertisers that promote and complement your niche. I happen to promote Green PR and sustainable development so ads by We Add Up are relevant and fit in nicely.
- Be Consistent with posts. – This has been the hardest thing for me since I have such a busy schedule. What I love about WordPress is that I can write several posts at once and then schedule them for later.
- Make New Friends – I have been on Twitter for a while, but have not taken advantage of all the tools that are available that can help my network and blog grow. By completing a search for a few key terms within my niche I can develop new relationships with others who would gladly support my efforts.
Hope these tips will help you the way they helped me. For more information, or to get your own blog review, check out The Amazing Five Minute Blog Review or swing by Life Without Pants to see what other things @mattchevy is up too.
