I have decided to change what I do and how this blog runs a bit. I am just going to write what comes to me, and it may not be in the make money online niche. The only reason I joined the MMO niche was to gain more acceptance from the other MMO bloggers and social networking places. To back up this decision, I received some very good advice - that helped change the way things roll here.
Try writing for yourself, to please yourself for awhile and forget the stats. If you aren’t pleasing yourself you aren’t pleasing your readers. And no more apologies about not posting!!! As far as your readers know you could be off on some super-secret mission. No apologies, just post more if you feel bad about not posting. Also don’t write about your lack of readers. And proof your posts more…sometime spellcheck doesn’t catch everything.
Some of your strongest posts have been your reviews. When you write about yourself it’s good too (use more paragraphing though). And I heard that Twitter is a good way to build a blog following, but I don’t know how exactly.
Just read a LOT of blogs. 5-10 new ones every day. Comment there with something funny or insightful or helpful, and then be sure you have great posts up on your blog for them to see when they check back. I don’t know another way. But it always does start with good writing, so please yourself with that.
So I thank Karen, from LightSpring Transformations, who is guiding you to your inner light. I am just going to blog and write how I want to, with the niche of new and helpful things, reviews, and so on. Those are where my best posts fall in, and the MMO will not be lost, but it won’t be the only niche that Green Flamingo is in. I will start of this new way with creating a new category called daily ramblings and post one there.

I have just come to the conclusion to write for myself, through a process of some serious soul searching. Great advice. And kudos for blogging how you want to. It’s inspiring!
PS -I just started a Twitter account. I haven’t quite gotten into it though. If you haven’t really used it, be prepared for VERY SLOW load times. It is actually a little frustrating thus far but I suppose its something that must be gotten used to.
Demieras last blog post..You Don’t Mess With the Zohan…and you might not wanna mess with the movie, either
