Amanda gave some great pointers! Thanks for sharing.

That was very helpful to me. I especially liked learning how to title my blog posts. Those were ideas I had never heard before.

Hi Loree - I'm glad you enjoyed the article.

Hi Nancy - I try to find posts that will be beneficial. :)

Blessings,
Susan

Thanks for this, Susan. Right out of the gate, I learned to *stop* doing something on my blog--namely, anchoring links with the word "here." I do that all of the time, including in my most recent post! I now know why I should stop.

Useful, succinct tips. :-) Be well.

I've loved Amanda's posts lately. So many great ideas.

Hope you have a great weekend, Susan! :)

Hi Janette - There's a lot to learn about this blogging thing, isn't there? :)

Hi Sarah - Yes, she knows her stuff.

Blessings,
Susan :)

I just keep blogging, Facebooking, and writing (the weekly column). With a day job, there's only so much I can do. That's why I'm very excited about having the column picked up by an international magazine...am already noticing some increase in blog traffic. So that helps!

Thanks for sharing Susan, I struggle with building my platform sometimes, as I have one foot in Europe and one in the USA, is that double work?

I connect through other bloggers and Amazon reviews. If a lot of people really like a book, then I'll take their word for it.

Another good link, Susan. Thanks!

Hi Rhonda - You'll have an excellent platform by the time you're ready to pitch your book. :)

Hi Marja - Facebook, Twitter, and anything else on the Internet is worldwide, so I think you're covering both.

Hi Stephen - I also depend on reviews from other bloggers to point out great new releases. I don't read much on Amazon. By the time I go there, my buying decisions are already made.

Hi Jean - Thanks. :)

Blessings,
Susan
