There are so many blogs out there today that you really need to set forth a blogging plan and stick with it. Here are a few ways to can do this.
Pay for your own domain. I see so many people trying to make it with the free blogs out there. With the cost of a domain and hosting so cheap, there is no reason not to get your own. This will at least show you care enough about your business to invest in it.
I would make it a point of visiting the blogs of people you respect, and would like to know, and start making some intelligent comments. Then, if you can get these guys to recognize you, and start answering your comments, then you may be on your way to developing a good blogosphere relationship.
If you can get the bloggers to answer you back, then you have just opened the door for starting a pretty good relationship. Now, take it one step further and start to email the blogger certain stories you think they may be interested in. Do not send them links to your blog!
The other thing you can do, which is what I do, is use you blog for your own resource.
I consider myself to be an internet marketer and a web developer. Because of the nature of these jobs, I am constantly looking up information and trying to solve problems. When I do, I now put this knowledge on my blog. This allows me to look it up again when I need it.
One other thing you can do is meet these bloggers in person. Give them a face to a name. There are plenty of blogging conventions each month. Just find one you would like to attend, and then make it a point of meeting them.
There are just a few of the ways to can develop a dominating blog. But first, you need to build some relationships, as this is the name of the game.
