SOHO Online

I wonder how many people watched all these movies. The quotes are really classic.

I have launched this blog for nearly 3 months. Perhaps there’re not many readers so far. I know the reasons.

At first I was planning to write about how to make money and I did write about this topic for 1 month. Then I found I have nothing to write about.

For some time, I didn’t update my blog only because of nothing to write. Then I began to talk about twitter skills. It get some traffic for the blog.

According to a survey that writing how to blog get paid most. I also feel this. Look at JohnChonw and Problogger and you will agree with me.

So I decide to write about how to blog – some blog tips. You know, I don’t have much experience. Maybe I am not able to update my blog consistently all the same. Did I choose the wrong topic again?

Even so, I will keep writing about it. Doing anything you need to learn. So as writing blog. Although I don’t have much to talk, I can read, from my google reader. There are a lot of great articles. They can encourage me.

Not till the end, who knows if I chose the wrong topic?

And even if I was proved wrong. I can still learn a lot from the process.

I think that when you finished an article it is better to tweet it on twitter with a link back to the post. But, don’t just tweet it. There’re some skills.

1. Instead of telling your followers that you’ve published a new post, you ask a question.

A lot of people who tweet like this: New Post on Soho Online: Blog Tips -How to Use Twitter to Promote Your Blog. Don’t you?

How do you think this : Can Twitter Help to Promote Your Blog Post? link…

2. Choose the right time to post your tweet – when there are lots of people on twitter.

3. Making your tweet ‘ReTweetable’ by not making it too long.

4. Don’t just talk about your post on twitter. Make friends, response to others’ tweets.

You can also do some other things on your twitter account, like make a perfect background for it. Use twitter search to find other bloggers and twitterers who have the same interesting as you and follow them and talk to them.

You agree with me? Or more great ideas?

Well, I have a lot of bookmarks on my chrome bookmark bar. They are which I visit most. And I don’t name for them. Only favicons are displayed.

I find it’s very effective to only by clicking a favion when I want to enter a website I like.

Also when you are surfing the Internet. Couples of tabs were opened by you. You can easily distinguish the tab by favicons.

How about the address bar? You like a favicon on the left of the address or a blank icon?

Put yourself in the place of another, when your blog are visited by others, is it essential to have a favicon on your blog? I think so.

OK, let me give you more reasons why you need to use a favicon on your blog. A favicon isn’t there just for looks, it has a subtle – yet important – role in building the brand on your website. When a visitor sees one on your blog, that can be a strong indicator that they came the right place.

So, you still don’t have a favicon on your blog? go here get one. Or ask your designer friends to design one for you.

It’s easy to begin to use a favicon, just upload your favicon.ico to the root director of your website if you use wordpress.

I am a new blogger. I read a lot about how to blog everyday. But I don’t performance what I plan to do effectively. This morning I read an article from problogger on my google reader. He suggested some tips that new blogger should follow. I would like to share them to you.

Here is the list:

1. Publish 10 Posts.
2. Getting your first comment from someone you don’t know.
3. Get your first link from another blog.
4. Build your readership up to more than 20 readers a day.
5. Hit a level of 20 RSS subscribers.
6. Getting your blog indexed in google.
7. Get your blog earning $1 a week (update: only if making money from your blog is one of your goals – it’s not for everyone).
8. First guest post on another blog.
9. Having someone (not you or your mum) tweet about your blog.

Some of the lists I’ve already done and some not. I can’t agree more with the content above. This time, I will take action. What do you think? Any other good ideas?

——————-

I remember I read an article about get a favicon for your blog. And today I make it for my blog. Not beautiful but useful. If your blog does not have a favicon yet, you can make it here. Let’s stand out our blog from crowd with a favicon.

As I write this article it is a long time that i didn’t update my blog and I’m sitting on my bed ready to watch a movie.

I don’t like watching movies that much.But I want to get used to it.

This afternoon as I am on my way back home,I got some ideas for my blog.The categories was reduced to 3 only.It’s time for me to concentrate on my blog.

I think that by telling stories can attractive some readers.Because stories can engage the imagination of readers and beyond facts and theories.But it is not whatever stories that you can post on your blog.The stories must be tied into the rest of your blog useful to your readers on some level.

OK,I’ll get some interesting stories for you. And if you want to share your stories,let me know.

Today I have noticed that the pbtweet booklet didn’t work on my chrome 4 any more. So I reported a bug to the author And the author said :

t_trace @truant Sorry, I’ve finished to update pbtweet no longer. Try PBTweet Plus. Soon, i’ll release pbtweet HTML5 app.

Then I went to google pbtweet+ and I found it. Click it here.You can use google translate to translate it into your own language.

It is easy to install, just drag this link(PBTweet+) to your bookmarks bar and click it when you on twitter.com.

Tell me what do you think about it.

You know that every tweet you public on twitter has a static page. Like this:

And now google and bing and many other search engines have began to indexed twitter page. It means that once you public your blog posts on twitter, they can be indexed by google and other search engines.  You must know what I am going to talk about right now.

Yes, after you finish and article, tweet it on twitter. This will not only help to get traffic from twitter but also indexed by google. Here is a tip for how to tweet it:

Use the “blog title + article title” is a good choice.  It is better for search engines to index it.
