Into the Blogosphere

Over the past year, I have been updating a few blogs whenever the spark hit me to write something. I have made it a goal as an eWarrior to find some of the top bloggers in the world and connect with them. Although I am an eWarrior, there are only so many hours in the day, so collaboration and sharing of ideas is one of the best ways to learn.

Through my network on LinkedIn, I began to find some of the bloggers. One of the nice things about blogging is that most of us, use many of the same services to write and maintain our blogs such as blogger and WordPress.

The most asked question bloggers have who want to be noticed is "How do you build an audience". Sometimes it may be a best selling author, public speaker and industry expert. In other cases the blog is focussed of a specific industry or company.

Some of the other techniques are to find well known blogs in your category and comment on them and link back to your own blog. Search engines such as Technorati.com can help with this. Also many bloggers are now featured in many major newspapers and magazines.

As of mid February this journey has begun. I will be interested to see where this journey ends.
