Here’s Your Introduction to Basic Blog Tips

I started blogging in July of 2009 using WordPress.com and Blogger. I spent months preparing myself to launch my first self-hosted WordPress blog. During that time, I learned the importance of building strong connections in the blogosphere through social media, guest posting and community involvement.

Welcome to Basic Blog Tips!

I have several guest posts on Blog Engage and the CommentLuv blog.

I want to share what I’ve learned with you and as I continue to acquire new skills and strategies I will focus on providing content that will help you reach your goals.

Here are some of the reactions and notable mentions from across the internet:

Ileane Smith from BasicBlogTips.com – Ileane and I connected some time ago but it wasn’t until fairly recent that we’ve really connected as true supporters of each other.  She is a role model that with hard work, persistence and being a stand for other peoples success that what you want in life is absolutely achievable.  She’s a complete joy and anyone who comes in contact with her is richer for it.  Ileane, thank you for being an amazing person and entrepreneur and for your continued support.  You have made a difference in more ways than you know!

Take a lesson from bloggers like Ileane Smith of BasicBlogTips.com and Brankica Underwood of Blog Like a Star.  Both are very well-known in their spaces and will probably tell you they’ve built the majority of their following through social media.

They don’t just produce great content, but they generously share other people’s work and build relationships with their followers.  Follow them.  You’ll learn a lot.
