Update: What happened after a year of solid blogging?


Blog Like you Mean It! 

 After a year of solid blogging, about 600 posts, over 20 giveaways and even more product reviews, and over $2,000 for being paid to blog it is all starting to set in. My blog really works. 

 I learned one needs to blog every day. 

 Blog about what you know! 

 Keep up with the news (I feel behind in this area) 

 Don't be afraid of conflict!

 Back up your Blog ALL THE TIME. 

 Blogger can hold you back and wordpress has more options!

 Not all Server Hosts are the same. 

 Servers sometimes go down!

 Photos Matter! 

 Running Games on your Social Media is fun and helps your readers find your posts! 

 It is important to ask for what your worth! 

 Don't let companies take advantage of you! 

 Write because you love to write!

 Find ways to take vacations away from computers when you can! 

 Don't post free guest posts! Space on your blog has value, don't just give it away! 

 Page Rank? 

  Page rank for my main blog (Not this one) is now PR 3. 

  I went from having zero fans on facebook and twitter to having: 

  Facebook = 6,300
  
  Twitter = 4,700

   And another few thousand on google +, pinterest, and other social networks. 

    FUN! 

 I think I would call my first year really working on that blog a success don't you? You can do the same thing! Follow the posts I have made so far and please feel free to ask me any questions. You can also scold me for not working more on this blog!
