Email #12: Building Your Blog's Value

Dear <firstname> ,

Everyone like valuable stuff. They spend
loads and loads of cash on bags that carry
the names of some famous french designer
even though the design looks...ordinary.

You are selling your blog to your visitors;
especially the idea that your blog is popular 
and has valuable content , so that they will 
want to come back and recommend your blog
 to others.

Here's how you can do so:

-Allow and Encourage Comments: Comments 
on your posts show that others are reading and 
are interested enough to comment.

Make sure you encourage people who comment 
on your blog, by replying to their comments, and 
by visiting their blogs and commenting there.

If you are not getting any comments, comment on 
other blogs. The top bloggers don’t have time to 
visit your blog and comment.  But a newbie blogger
will be thrilled at your comment and will  likely visit
your blog and comment.

- Display the MyBlogLog Widget On Your Blog: You 
will need to sign up to MyBlogLog.com and add your 
blog.  Be sure to upload a photo of yourself too.

Then you will be able to get a widget to put on your blog
that displays photos of recent visitors to your blog.  It only
displays visitors who are members of MyBlogLog.

The reason you want to add your own photo to MyBlogLog 
is so that it will display on other blogs that you visit.  This 
makes people used to seeing your photo, and gets people to
 feel like they know you.

To your blogging profits,

Your Name
