Bloggin Ads

Continuing this trend, have you found your stride? What’s worked for you? Surely by now you’ve found a topic that was a hot button for your blog. If so share with us, because Bloggin-Ads is a community of bloggers that is growing with quite a generous nature. What I’ve loved about this community is that we are not afraid to share with one another and help one another out.

Let’s jump into this next batch of topics, and hopefully, you can find something that will strike a chord with your audience!

61. How do you deal with comment abusers? Share your tactics. – The idea of having a formal commenting policy has been a topic of discussion that has been kicked around for the last year. Do you have one for your blog? If you do, share what you’ve done with others, if not, do you think you need one?

62. What’s your process for writing a blog? – Do you have a system that can be replicated by others with success? There’s always fresh faces in the blogosphere, so why not share your process for writing. Guiding others to success is a sure fire way to ensure that they will keep coming back to your site.

63. Rail against injustice of some kind – There’s a lot of social causes out there for you to follow. Perhaps you’ve already got something in mind. This is very different then having a passion for a topic. When you “rail” against something, you’re venomously against something, and you will go to extremes to denounce it. Chances are your site might reach controversial status, but eyes will be on your and your topic.

64. Share your thoughts on censorship – Pro? Con? A nice hot button topic that has a range of opinions. Keep your eyes on what the governments of this world are doing. What have big companies done to our rights? Is censorship a move that is in the best interest of the people? This is especially of great interest if your site has a topic that alone would stand as controversial.

65. Support a politician – Locally where I am at, it’s not uncommon for sites to start popping up around election time. People are supporting or flinging mud at the politicians running for office. Interested in going into politics? This is a good way to get your name out there and involving yourself in the political process. Your keen insight could be warranted as useful and could possibly sway those on the fence. Give it a try!

66. Maybe you’re a flamer, how do you call people out? - It takes all kinds right? Some of us play by the rules, others of us just go out to post and comment to “flame” people, or basically call them out on something they did or said. It’s not necessarily an accepted practice, but like I said it takes all kinds. Do you take the fight to people? Where do you pull your content, how do you walk that line preventing legal issues? Share some of your tips and tricks, and your quick wit with the audience.

67. What’s your blog platform of choice? – We all picked out platform of choice for a reason. Some of us have migrated, and some of us, experimented at the beginning as we explored our options. There’s a lot of new people out there looking for a way to find a home with their blog. Help them out by sharing your experience, and things they would look out for. By sharing this experience, you’re making blogging even more accessible.

68. Complain about “echo” in the blogosphere – How many times have you come across content that is simply regirgitated with little to no fresh insight provided? It happens more often than you think and these types of posts are just echoes of what was originally written, which was probably better than its echo. What are your thoughts on this? If you’re using the same content, but making it your own in terms of personal thoughts and views, then you’ve provided just another perspective on the topic. That is something worthwhile to the community.

69. Complain about blogs that make you register to comment – I can’t tell you how much I loathe having to register just to comment on a post. I don’t mind providing information for the actual post itself, but if I’m  having to sign up for some kind of account and then check my email to activate somthing, etc, then you’ve lost me for good. I’m not coming back and you’ve just made it hader for me to want to interact with you. Maybe I’m wrong, do you support comment registration? There’s two views, write a nice post on this and get people chatting about the need for such a procedure. Perhaps it does have a place with regards to blog sites.

70. Explain to your readers why it is important to have an editorial calendar – Are you writing for multiple blogs? If you are, then even veterans in the blogging business can get behind. It’s important to find the balance you need to ensure that posts are done in a timely manne for everything you write. Editorial calendars are also good because they also get your topics straight, giving you time to research appropriately.
