Interacting with others on MyBlogLog

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

This will be the end of the series on getting the most from MyBlogLog and there is a caveat on this particular topic. This is not to spam others and send out your pitches. This is for networking with others and building relationships. Because you can misuse this I almost did not address this topic. Nuff said I hope .

You can message people in your contact list easily and it never hurts to welcome new contacts. Click on their profile and you can leave a message. This can be a great way to welcome them and thank them for following you.

Don’t use this as a promotion of your stuff or sites. Check out their profile and comment on what they are doing if it is complimentary to what you do. Now my blog is about WordPress and if what they are doing is about tattoos there is not any synergy there. That is not someone that you will want to be cross commenting with regularly. If it isn’t a fit you may just want to leave a quick thank you for following.

Rarely does anyone do this including me but when I have it tends to help me find people that are active on my blog and I tend to be an active participant on theirs. The key is for it to be a win win.

It is all about finding like minded complimentary people and the more of those you find and interact with the better for both of you.

Hope you have found this series helpful and welcome your comments.
