When reviewing my past “beatlebum” posts and the site
activity in the “dashboard” area of blogger, I can see that my blog has attracted
180 views. My own views probably amount to 10% of those with the other 80%
potentially being students from Curtin University, although I have no way of
telling. Campbell (2012) describes many ways of promoting your blog, but one in
particular appeals to me most - Social
Networking. I am a very active member of social networking and have access to
it at all times of day. The trouble is, I do my networking on a personal level
using my own name. Since starting to create a digital footprint under my
digital persona, “the.pony”, I think it’s time to take it up a notch and start
networking as my alter ego. Who knows, I might get some more traffic and some
conversations happening on my blog. Arrow (2012) insists that promoting your
blog and inviting reader conversations attracts new readers and contributes to
user generated content. Listing sharing personal stories, sparking a debate and
sharing video’s as good ways to invite conversation, Arrow (2012) shows me I am
already doing one of those. Let’s see if I can squeeze the others in the next
few weeks?
