6 Ways To Crush Blog Community Building Efforts

On January 13, 2010, in Blogs, Featured, by Nettie Hartsock

1. Focusing on only blogging about yourself, your services and other yakkity-yak “more about me” content.

2. Spending all your time disparaging other bloggers or your blog commenters.

3. Ranting of any kind.

4. Never asking questions of your readers.

5. Operating your blog like a clique or “inner circle” instead of openly engaging everyone who might want to chime in.

6. Not having a clear mission of what edu-focused content you want to deliver and how you want it to empower your blog visitors.
