I think the future of book blogging has just began and it will continue to grow. It is already big and I love being apart of it because I have meet soo many people through this amazing process! Above is some tips I would tell future bloggers to do when they begin blogging! Today is the last day of Armchair BEA and it was an amazing process and I will do it again in the future!! I have learnt many new things about blogging during this process which was FUN!!
My experience with blogging was hard at first but then it began because I entered giveaways at first then another blogger helped me make buttons and gave me suggestions to improve my blog! I am happy at where my blog is at because I am proud of my blog and what blogging means to me which is all about your views about the books we love. I sometimes also had trouble finding publisher address but eventually you find them, you can also ask them on twitter because they are the publicists. These people are amazing!! <3 all of them!
If you have any other suggestion leave them in the comment box!
THANK YOU ARMCHAIR BEA!!
Yes! I think it's important to have a blog you're proud of and have fun while doing it. :D
ReplyDeleteI need to update my Goodreads profile. I prefer LibraryThing, but Goodreads is the one that became popular.
ReplyDeleteGreat list Amanda! I think # 1 and 11 are the most important! I didn't feel comfortable giving many tips, so I'm mostly asking for advice on mine :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my "Ask the Expert" post!
Have a great Friday!

Oh wow!!! I love them all!! Taking notes too!! I'm international so I've never really approached a publisher before, I understand how the keep internationals on another kind of 'list' heheh so I don't think I've ever wanted to go head on and ask them... plus, I'm too shy...

YOu should be proud!
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip -- I think I came across it somewhere else during ABEA, to network with the publishers and publicists as well.
Thanks for the great tips!
ReplyDeleteIt's so important to network and comment on other blogs!
ReplyDeleteI agree that I also had a hard time when I first started blogging. I really didn't understand how to blog so I just kept it to myself. I feel like I've learned so much in the past year that blogging is indeed fun now!
Great tips!
I love that you tell ppl to join goodreads! I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteGood advice! I love Goodreads to keep track of my massive TBR. Can't believe I didn't know it existed until a few months ago!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks for stopping by my Armchair BEA Ask the Experts post.
Great post! I forgot Goodreads on my post. Librarything and such are good, too. :)
ReplyDeleteSome great tips. Fun to meet another Canadian blogger! :)
ReplyDeleteBlogging is a fun activity for most of the book bloggers out there and so, it would be no good to take it as a chore and people would know that right away!
