Blogging Blueprint Reviews

In my last post I shared with you all the blogging blueprint. The blueprint was my free, 69-page guide to building a successful blog (something I feel I have done on multiple occasions). Some of you may recall that in the announcement posts I promised to link to anybody who wrote a review of the book.

Quite a few came in that I wish to share with you today. Hopefully you will not only see some honest reviews of the eBook but you’ll come across some sites that you enjoy.

Free eBook Revealing My Blogging Secrets

Hey everyone. I know that my posts here have been very sporadic, but that’s mostly because I have been working on a new venture. Almost one year ago (11 months) I launched a new website called PluginID. The aim of the site was to share my adventures from South Africa and to help people realise they could live the life they want to live (something I did when I was over there).

Since launch, the site has received tremendous growth and now has over 3,500 subscribers. That is more than I managed to build for this site in 3 years and more than I possibly imagined I could build. I’m enjoying myself so much writing about the topic that I just want to keep going.

The Definitive Guide to StumbleUpon

There are a lot of guides out there on StumbleUpon that are quite in-depth and detailed. However, the majority of these guides are a few years old and in the social media space that is quite an eternity. I’ve wrote a few articles on StumbleUpon myself, such as analysing the top 50 users and even an interview with a top stumbler.

With this guide, however, I want to share more information on the site than I ever have before, a guide not just for marketers but anyone who wants to get the most out of the great service. That could be a lot of people, seeing as my ’spy’ access into StumbleUpon’s statistics tell me they now have 7.5 million active users.

How to Get Thousands of Visitors from Flickr (And over 450,000 Account Views)

Note to all PluginHQ / ViperChill Readers - This is officially the first post of the blog coming ‘back’. Thanks to all of you who never took us out of your RSS feed, I will not disappoint you!

Flickr is one of those sites where you see an odd guide here and there about optimising your images or getting traffic, but I like to think I take things a little further than that. This post is going to look at how a personal account gets around 4-5,000 views daily, and has amassed over 450,000 views so far. And trust me, those views result in traffic.

How to Massively Increase RSS Subscribers: One Method You’ve Never Used

Tips on increasing RSS subscribers are mentioned around 100 times per day in the blogosphere, everyone and their cat wants to share their knowledge. That isn’t to say these tips don’t work, but they are tips that most of us know about. Recently I tested something a little different and I’ve had great results, in fact 10% of all visitors were subscribing to my feed.

I was featured on the huge blog a few weeks ago (80k+ subscribers) and received over 1,200 visitors as a result for a backlink in the middle of the post. However, the page people were landing on had a lot of exit paths, and there isn’t much I can do about that, that’s why I got the link (Resource page).
