Blog advice

[Stan B]

Hi friends,

We recently started working very hard on our blog and I'm amazed at what Chitin posts and how much he raised the bar there compared to shameless self pr. Yet we are to see any live conversation and activity on the blog.

We are very new to blog management and would greatly appreciate if you guys can check it out and share any blogging advice and ideas you have.

What do you do to bring live conversation to your blog?

Thank you all.

No one cares about color management and construction of a vinyl sign or banner. They want to know how a banner will help their business. they want to know how much, they want to see before and afters and pretty pictures....

I go to blogs or some really good designers.. there is very little participation, but quite a bit of traffic from time to time. (usually if they do a seminar or post on Facebook)

Nobodys interested in talking about banners...about as interesting as discussing sandpaper....:Sleeping:

You have a good website with good ranking and traffic, your time and effort would be better spent plugging away building upon that.

I have followed Signs Never Sleep blog, for years. I thought it was a good mix and it seemed to have good traffic. http://signsneversleep.blogspot.com/ Might give you some ideas.

You'll notice on the SignsNeverSleep site (aside from the fact that they've moved and both forwarding links appear on my browser to be dead) they have lots of photos and tend to talk about what's going on in the sign shop. It's warm and personal, verses just a whole bunch of text and technical stuff that most people don't care about.

I love Grampa Dan's blog for that reason. http://www.imaginationcorporation.ca/journal/journal/Blog/Blog.html
I don't know how much traffic he gets to his blog, but I enjoy peeking in to see what kind of magic is going on there.

You have good info on your blog, but it's dry. Show me some of the awesome stuff you've been doing for clients so that I will want to be one.
