How my family and my friends help me better Blog

Many bloggers working alone. I started out the same way. I talked about not really what I was doing and never was in the details with the people closest to me.


Today, however, I believe that this approach may limit the success of your blog and you need to tend to those closest to you to help you build your blog to its full potential.

The of people around you can help in various ways: give you ideas for the creation of content, providing usability tips, design ideas and General constructive criticism. You can use this to make your blog more attractive, interesting and popular.

In the two years when I wrote my health and fitness blog, I have received huge support from the people in my life. I would like to share some of these things with you to give you some ideas on how the people around you can help you become a blogger more successful.


I must confess that I love my blog. I put much work into it and find it me difficult to make changes.


Fortunately for me, my wife, Karen, is not as sentimental and kept pushing me invest in better design for the site. She did not like the ordinary aspect of the free theme I used while I didn't touch.


Finally, as is usually the case in our marriage, I capitulated and purchased a premium theme, alterations is a bit just watch, had a designer to create a logo for the blog and set up a regular style magazine rather than a blog format home page.


The result is a decrease in the rate of rebound general approval of readers, and I am even more in love with my blog today that I used in the past. I guess I am just a shallow guy and looks important to me.


The point is that doing this kind of change would have taken me much more time if nobody was there for me to grow.


There are a number of people in my life who have helped me create better content.


The first is my wife, who is a physiotherapist. I often consult him on the proper exercise techniques and how to design an effective workout for my readers.


The second is my friend, Dorothy, who has struggled with his weight for years. It represents the average visitor to my site - a person who wishes to lose weight in a healthy manner and without gadget.


Just speaking with her methods she attempts and the process that it reminds me to create content with problems of my readers in mind.


I live in Europe, it is more difficult for me to follow the trends in the United States and the Canada, where most of my readers are. Fortunately for me, one of my childhood friends lives in New York, and I can ask if a certain fitness or diet plan gets much attention and media coverage of the United States.


In this way, I can create content where people are more interested at this time.


For example, my review of the Shake weight could never have written if I didn't know how big that the product was late 2009. To date, this blog post received almost 300 comments.


My sister-in-law, Sharon, is a graphic designer, so I he consulted on colors and the design of the blog and the logo. Whenever I want to make design changes I know I can count on his professional opinion to guide me in the right direction.


First, you must be open about what you do and what are your objectives. If you are blogging on any subject shaded and you cannot even speak with your friends, you have to do things on your own.


Second, accept criticism. If people are afraid to tell you what they really think about your blog, you will miss next crucial advice can do much better. Therefore, any criticism should be seen as constructive.


Third, your blog is written for people. Unless you write on internet marketing, you should consult the opinion of the people who are not specialists of marketing. To obtain the views of people who are similar to your readers.


Finally, not ignore the opinion of anyone. Don't be not quick to reject the proposals. You do not accept or implement any suggestion that you get, but you must take the time to consider it.
