I want to thank all of you who follow my blog especially those who I interact with a lot via comments. I never dreamed I would have over 900 followers when I first really dedicated myself to my blog.
I want to celebrate this in a different way than I have before when reaching previous milestones. I would like to share some blogging tips because I have many new followers who are new to blogging.
I also want to invite other bloggers to share blogging tips. Please read my tips first to see what you would like to add or comment on. If you share a tip, please also share a link to your blog.
One ground rule for this is- Meaningful Comments/Tips.
My tips
1- Give yourself permission to explore and experiment to find your voice.
2- Learn from other bloggers and their styles.
3- Interact with other bloggers with meaningful comments not just comments like great post etc.
4- Don’t like and not view. That is one of my pet peeves.
5- Be patient. For most bloggers it takes time to grow their followers.
6-Be Consistent. If you post once a week, post on the same day. If you post twice a week, post on the same days. Then your followers will know when to watch for your posts.
7- Blogging awards are fun, BUT don’t let them be your be all end all. Yes network and have fun, but remember that what will sustain your blog is ORIGINAL CONTENT.
Those are my tips.
I want to thank some bloggers who have been consistent in commenting and interacting with me and invite them to share a tip.
I went with the top 9 because as a Lord of the Rings fan, it makes me think of the Fellowship of the Ring- 9 People.
Again THANK YOU to all who have followed my blog and interacted with me. Please share blogging tips for new bloggers.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
Congratulations on 900 followers, This is a milestone, Great tips on blogging.
The tip I would add Is: Treat fellow bloggers with love and respect. View them as good friends, not someone to boost your numbers. Each one is a precious part of your family,
Abundant blessings!

Congratulations big brother! Wow wow! Thank you for the tag. All the tips you provided are great. Number 3 is very important. I would add this: if someone takes his/her time to comment your blog, take your time to reply. If you have too many comments to reply, reply the first 10 comments. β₯οΈ
I agree. if someone takes the time to read a post and make a meaningful comment, reply!!!
Yes. Meaningful comments specifically ππ½
Congratulations. Celebrate my friend, itβs a great accomplishment.

My tip is to write your draft quickly and with your heart. Let your passions go in the first draft. Edit later with your head.
My blog is http://thepointofreflection.blog
I like heart first head later π
Yay!. Way to go.. More to come big bro. π€
Thanks for the recognition. πAlways love reading your posts. π
My tip is an emphasis on the “Like and not reading”. And yes make meaningful comments that encourage the blogger. Apt!
Thank you little sister π
You are welcome bro. π
Reblogged this on THE BLOGGING STATION.
Congratulations, π π May the Lord continue to bless you
Thank you little sister π
Are your girls back at college?
yes they are π Can’t wait for them to come home π
Congratulations big brother on 900 followers! Thatβs amazing! ππ Youβre welcome! I enjoy reading and commenting on your posts.
Tip for bloggers: Periodically go to your actual post and read the comments to make sure you have not missed comments your followers left, because itβs easy to miss comments when you only go through the notifications section.
Also when replying to a bloggers comment make sure you hit βreplyβ. If you just leave a new comment instead of hitting reply the system wonβt notify the blogger that you replied to their comment.
Thank you little sister. Yes too easy to miss comments.
Congratulations!! Whatβs amazing is you havenβt lost your authenticity in the time I have known you. Kudos.
Thank you π You are so kind π
Congratulations! Keep growing β€
Thank you little sister π

Thank you π God Bless π
Congratulations and I love following your blog. It inspires me to keep going and makes me want to stay closer to GOD. GOD IS GOOD. Congrats once again
Thank you π
Congratulations! Iβm still relatively new at blogging, but one thing I think is important is to consider why you want to follow a blog. Is it because you are sincerely interested in the content, or is it because you are hoping to build your followers with a return follow? I believe our motives should be pure and honest in all we do. For me blogging is more than producing content, it is building relationships with people. Meaningful comments go a long way when encouraging fellow bloggers.
God Bless you Big Brother! π
Thank you little sister. How are you?
I’m awesome! Hope you are well too! :))
