Email #13: Leverage On The Social Factor (Part 1)

Dear <firstname> ,

Now a blog is not a solitary island
on the ocean of the great world wide 
web. Your blog has to go social, the 
same way people network and build
relations in real life.

So how to you go about building strong
social links? There are a couple of 
effective solutions, namely:

- Blog Comments: 

Everyone tells you to do this...because it 
works.  There are two strategies for commenting 
on other blogs, and you should follow both 
of them.  

But please only comment when you have 
something worthwhile to say.  Otherwise you 
are spamming, and it will not help you any.  
Spam or worthless comments will just hurt you.  
People will think less of you and it will damage
your brand.

Strategy #1:  Comment on popular blogs.  
This is good for getting a lot of people to see 
your comments.  It is best if you are one of the
 first commentators, because people don’t read 
all the comments on a post.

Strategy #2:  Comment on less popular blogs.  If 
a blog does not have a lot of comments already, 
then your comment will certainly get the attention
of the blogger.  Maybe they will then visit your blog
and comment on yours.  Also, that blog may not 
have a lot of readers, but chances are, the readers it 
does have will read it thoroughly and will notice your
comment.  Some of them may stop by to visit your 
blog as well.  This works especially well if you become 
a regular commenter on the blog.
