How to Grab Attention in the Blogosphere

There are more than a million blogs in the blogosphere, where there are about 40 categories which means there is a chance that there are 25000 blogs talking about the same thing that you are. It’s hard to differentiate when all are talking about the same thing, but there are some ways how you can lift yourself from the base and hit the top. I firmly believe that getting attention in the blogosphere is the key to success.
Once you have people’s attention, you’ll get traffic, subscribers, incoming links and lastly you’ll have the golden opportunity to make money. The type of attention that I’m talking about is that most bloggers know you and your blog, know that you have some valuable ideas to share with others and most importantly they know that you exist! It all starts with one little spark and ends up with an ever-lasting blazing fire of traffic.

Be Unique

Use the average blog theme, copy/paste articles, use concepts or strategies that have been yelled by hundreds of bloggers for years, copy the blogging style of others and you’ll get nowhere. Every blogger and I mean *every* blogger needs to be unique in order to succeed, some most classical examples of bloggers who are extremely unique than the others include Internet Marketing Sucks and IMwithJoe. For example, if you’re in the niche of Search Engine Optimization, be unique by discovering new things. You’ll probably attract a lot of visitors and incoming links.

Show Yourself to the World

After I open a blog, the second thing I do is go to the About page and read about the person which gives me a perfect image of him/her. So put up a few pictures and write something unique about yourself, your reason for blogging and most importantly a few links to your profiles on Social Networks. When you start a personal friendship with other bloggers, there are countless advantages that you can avail.

Be Creative

Creativeness can be seen anywhere, your articles, your blog design, your way of talking. Moreover, creativeness is the base of marketing and marketing leads to your content being in front of more people. I’ll make it simple, be creative and leave the rest on others it will gain exposure in the blogosphere it self. In my opinion the most creative blog is Daisy the Curly Cat.

Be Active

Be active in the blogosphere and you’ll grab attention. Make a bookmarks list of about 50 famous blogs and comment on them regularly or probably be the first one to comment. Send Pingbacks through posts to other bloggers. Guest Post on other blogs. Have other bloggers talk about you by either having them write about you or adding you to their blogroll.
It is attention which is the ultimate success to any blog, once you have attention in your niche you’ll be attracting visitors by all means with next to no effort on your part. It all takes a few weeks of hard work, but using your smartness to do the hard-work is the quick and easy way.
