Gack Ink is a blog network that allows you to bring your own blog.
It's really not a unique concept as much as a unique level of passion and support that goes on behind the network.
If you have a blog, you won't want to miss this opportunity. It's already got the feel of success.
You'll have to hurry though - you only have until Friday morning to submit your blog.
When you blog, do you step back away from your posts and try viewing it as your readers would view it?
There are so many different types of bloggers now, you should really stop to consider what kind of blogger are you and who's in the driving seat?
Do you blog for yourself - for entertainment, therapy or as as a journal documenting your life?
Do you blog to earn additional income?
Do you blog as your only source of income?
How many blogs do you have?
How intertwined are your blogs if you do have more?
When it comes to blogging, what are the primary rules and restrictions you have for yourself?
Angela from the other work at home blog touched on a topic that's honestly one of my occasional pet peeves when it comes to the blogs that I read religiously.
As far as I'm concerned, a catchy title is just as important as the content of the post itself.
I once was a loyal reader of one particular blog - until their titles became so much that I just couldn't stand it anymore...too many times of opening a blog and nothing worth reading was behind that one word title.
They use one or two word titles and honestly, that just doesn't cut it anymore. In fact, this blog used to have well over 1,000 subscribed readers and thousands of visitors a day - I've personally watched the huge nosedive their traffic has taken. It's all really sad to me - as a blogger that values my readership.
If you're like me and use a blog reader (I use Google Reader) - you know how important those titles are.
If the title isn't catchy I'm likely not going to click it to check out what's inside.
The title doesn't have to disclose exactly what the post is about even. It just has to pick my curiosity enough to want to see what's inside. But be careful - too many times of using an overly catchy title to lure readers to a lame post will lose your readership just as quick.
Are you paying close attention to your titles?
