http://dicklafrancesports.blogspot.com/ |
| What was it that made you create your blog? On what date did you start it? I wanted to express my ideas on the world of sports outside of my family and friends, so I thought a blog would be a good way to express myself. I statred my blog on July, 20. 2009. |
| What blogging system have you adopted and why? I use Blogger because it was very simple to start my first blog. |
| How many visits a day do you get? What type of comments do you receive? When I first started, I was lucky to get 1 per day. Today, depending on my subject, I have received up to a dozen a day, Which I consider pretty good, since I have only been blogging for 3 months. |
| How has 'having a blog' contributed to your life? My blog allows me to express my thoughts on sports to the world and my opinions as well. |
| Have you created relationships with other bloggers or readers of your blog? I have in fact communicated with and posted comments with 3 other bloggers from the US and United Kingdom. |
| How often do you post? Does regular posting of your blog require a lot of effort on your part? With my work schedule, I post weekly normally on Tuesday. I put the time and effort to make my posts, which for the most part are essays, worthwhile for my readership. I also don't type very well, but i still enjoy posting. |
| Does blogging bring in income for you? Can one make a living from posting? I haven't earned any income as of yet. I need to increase my readership, get more backlinks, and perhaps change my approach on advertising, but that is in the future. |
| How do you promote your blog? I promote my blog in different ways --- word of mouth simply by talking to other sports fans, instant messaging, commenting on other blogs, and I have even gotten a link for my blog on another sports related blog. |
| How would you define your readers? Have you got a faithful audience? For what little following I have, I wouls say I have loyal following as 3 post comments fairly regularly. |
| Are there any blogs you follow daily or regularly? Blogs I follow:
http://allworldallsports.blogspot.com/
http://sports-law.blogspot.com/
http://dmsportsnation.blogspot.com/
http://www.cmsbmedia.com/
http://www.thisinsidewire.com/ |
| How do you see your blog evolving in the future? With more readership, I can see my blog evolving into team blog with guest bloggers from time to time. I hope that i can generate revenue as well. |
| What advice would you give to someone who wishes to begin a blog? Don't be afraid to express yourself and keep at it! |
