"You can buy attention (advertising). You can beg for attention from the media (PR). You can bug people one at a time to get attention (sales). Or you can earn attention by creating something interesting and valuable and then publishing it online for free." ~ David Meerman Scott
"Blogging is good for your career. A well-executed blog sets you apart as an expert in your field." ~ Penelope Trunk
"Every time you post something online, you have a choice. You can either make it something that adds to the happiness levels in the world—or you can make it something that takes away. ~ Zoe Sugg
"Don’t focus on having a great blog. Focus on producing a blog that’s great for your readers." ~ Brian Clark

logging is one of the best ways to gain readers on the site. Aside from choosing to blog on your own, you can also join monthly blogging challenges. They are the interactive type of activities where participants are highly encouraged to read and comment on other participants' blogs. I met some of the most interesting writers this way which later became good friends of mine.
Even though blogging challenges don't insist on constructive responses, it is always nice to read when a writer provide deeper thoughts on the matter. After all, blogging shouldn't be as easy as making a grocery list or as simple as a straightforward answer to the prompt. The writer's job is to engage readers, therefore, a blogger's job is to engage and keep the readers as well.
Before you enter the friendly world of blogging on Writing.Com, here are some tips to keep in mind:
 To join a blogging challenge, you must create a "Book" item and, to create a book item, you need an upgraded membership. Blogging challenges require book items because these are the only items on the site that allows you interaction with other participants through the comments section.
Reading and commenting on other blogs will gain you views and comments on your own blog. This is a very important part of blogging on this site whose members are mostly writers like yourself. Sometimes it might be overwhelming to see more than 10 participants and you might feel like you can't keep up with all of them, but don't let this discourage you. You don't have to read and comment on every blog, every day, for a whole month. Sometimes you will find writers that fit you better than the others and you will eagerly wait to see what they have to say on a current prompt.
A lot of writers have an easy approach to blogging challenges. This means their primary intention is to answer the prompt plain and simple. Even though there is no right and wrong way of blogging, putting deeper and constructive thoughts is desirable—something that your readers want to read, discuss, consider, agree/disagree with. Remember, you are trying to gain readers here. You need to provide interesting content.
Don't shy away from different case colors. Sometimes members on the site will likely interact with the newbies (black cases) and preferred authors (yellow cases) than with moderators (blue cases) and senior moderators (purple cases). For some reason, they are shy with mods and senior mods. When I was a newbie, I didn't draw differences between the case colors mostly because I didn't understand their meaning but also because I'm usually not shy. Neither should you. Once you get to know people here you will see that we are all fun in our own, unique way.
For more great tips and content about blogging, I challenge you to check out unofficial "Blogging Bliss Newsletters Published" and subscribe for monthly newsletters through "Blogging Bliss NL Subscription Request" .
Until next time, keep writing.

Excerpt: This is a bi-monthly contest having a month-on, month-off format. The blogging community is a thriving one and the challenge to blog for 30 days straight is what keeps people coming back, month after month after month to the most intense battle of the bloggers. Are you ready to join us?
______________________________
Excerpt: At the beginning of each month, the blog prompts for that month will be posted. They will encourage you to write an entry recording the reality of your life or at least encourage you to write. You may complete all or none of them. You may complete them in any order you choose. Some prompts will fit some days better than others.
______________________________
Excerpt: I would make some sort of clever introduction here, but most of us already know how blogs work; if you like me and like my writing, you might also enjoy my personal ramblings. If you don't like me, you're probably not reading this anyway... and if you're undecided in your opinion of me, I invite you to read as much or as little as you like and decide for yourself.
______________________________
Excerpt: Complex numbers are often represented on a graph known as the "complex plane," where the horizontal axis represents the infinity of real numbers, and the vertical axis represents the infinity of imaginary numbers. Thus, each complex number has a unique representation on the complex plane: some closer to real; others, more imaginary. If a = b, the number is equal parts real and imaginary.
______________________________
Excerpt: Talk about perks, my job has one of the best ones I can think of! I travel in the course of business, delivering classes for my employer. I am a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and teach classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2 way radio communications. I'm qualified to deliver approximately 30 different classes, but about half of those are 'Legacy' classes, and are not in demand anymore. My students are technicians, those who maintain, program, calibrate, and repair large 2-way radio systems. Some of these systems are statewide, and use TCP-IP networking to allow sites to communicate with others. Some are small, traditional type radio sites. The size doesn't matter, in each case the systems must be kept operational at all times, since many of them are Public Safety Systems. So I get to travel, sometimes frequently, 3-4 weeks in a row.... where am I this week?
