Stumble into the Weekend 10/12

It’s getting cold outside, the weekend is approaching, and I know you are longing for something to read and stumble. As every Friday I will present you a list of blog posts I read, especially liked and therefore stumbled.

This was a traffic record week for BloggersJourney (thanks to everyone who stumbled one of my posts), I’m in a really good mood, so this list is somewhat longer than usual. I hope you enjoy it.

Jason wrote a list of basic tips on “How To Build a Reader Empire“. Consistency has never been one of my strengths, but I’ll try to do better. Promised :-).
You should definitely read “46 Things To Do Before Launching a Blog Network” on Xfep. Even if you don’t have any plans to ever start a blog network, it’s a great lesson on the importance of preparation.
Have you ever wondered “How to Influence Powerful Social Media Users for Traffic and Attention“? Read the extensive and well written answer on Dosh Dosh.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve developed a great interest in affiliate/ppc marketing. I’ll start my first experiments in 3 weeks and will make sure to avoid the “9 Common Mistakes in Landing Page and PPC Campaign Design” Rich points out on Performancing. Thanks Rich :-).
Daily Blog Tips provides us with “The Blogger’s Guide to Google Webmaster Tools“. If you haven’t had a look at it yet, you should really do so now.
Does your blog make you a little bit of money? How about reinvesting it? Matt lists “10 Fantastic Ways To Spend Your Blog Money” to improve your blog. Well done.
If you’re one of my regular readers, you know that I’m not a native English speaker (I hope it doesn’t show too much). Maybe Sara’s “9 Grammar Rules all Bloggers Need to Know” will help me to improve my English :-).
On ProBloggers Matrix, Mark asks “Do you have REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS as a blogger?” and I totally agree with his post. Sure, blogging is a lot of fun, but if you want to be really successful, it’s also a lot of work and dedication.
I want to finish this list with Vandelay Design’s “Organizational Tips for Bloggers“. I’m sure we can all find some tips to put to good use (I’m sure I can).
