What to do when things not working according to the plan
Before we start a blog, we make plan for the blog. But sometimes things just not work out according to the plan. We all do not like things out of control. Instead of not doing anything about it or giving up, why don’t we just look at the problems.
● List all the things that go wrong. For example,
- Low traffic
- Lack of exposure
- Lack of social networking
● Analyze each of them
You need to find out the root of each problem so that you are able to solve them.
Low traffic
- Seldom visit others blog and link to others blog
- Seldom leave comments on others blog
- Seldom update the blog
Lack of exposure
- Not active in promoting the blog
- Not submit the post to blog directories.
- Not joining or active blog communities
Lack of social networking
- Not active in finding blogger friends
- Not active in communicating with other bloggers
● Take your actions
Plan what you want to do on each problem. List out all the steps that you need to take to solve the problem and set your time for them
Low traffic
- Leave comments on five blogs each day
- Visit or read 5-8 blogs each day
- Write 3 posts for the blog every week
Lack of exposure
- Submit post to blog directories that recommended by other bloggers
- Join more blog communities
- Find more blog communities or blog directories that suitable your blog niche
Lack of social networking
- Make 2 friends in StumbleUpon everyday
- Go and search for blogger friends that has same blog niche like you
- Communicate more with the existing blogger freinds and ask comments from them about your blog
When you implement your first plan, normally it does not work smoothly. You need to modify it until it works. So keep doing and you get the great result.
