Blog-to Show? Showcase Your Blog at Successful-Blog July 26-27

July 23, 2008 by Liz 105 Comments

It’s Like an Auto Show for Blogs This Weekend

blog-to 50

At Open Comment Night last night, we talked about Creative Networking. Lots of great ideas were gathered, and that conversation got me thinking about more of them. Two years ago, we had a weekend showcase for blogs. I thought it might be fun to try it again.

So this weekend is a Successful-Blog Blog-to Show. It’s a Virtual Auto Show for Blogs. Detail your blog. Polish the trim and come show it off. We’ll line them up, look them over, and get to know each other and our blogs just that much better.

Here’s what you do.

Write up the following information:
Blog Title
Blog URL link:
Blog Tagline
A sentence or two about what makes your blog worth visiting.

A brief paragraph of blogging advice or a short bloggy quote that shows a little personality.

E-mail that information to Liz at lizsun2@gmail.com with BLOG-TO SHOW in the subject line before Saturday July 26. (GMT -6 hrs. See clock in the sidebar)

Please note: The Deadline for Submission has passed.

Click here to go to the Aggregate Post. It’s up already!!

OPTIONAL: You might want to write a blog post for the weekend that introduces folks to your most popular posts content with links to take them there.
OPTIONAL: Stumble this post so that lots of folks will be there to see what you bring.

I’ll feature your blog in the Blog-to Showcase on Saturday with a linkback so that folks can come visit.

It’s FREE PROMOTION and visibility for your blog and your brand. It would be silly to pass it up.

Summer and social gatherings go together. Whatever the season where you are now, online it can be a summer Blog-to Show on Saturday!

    Fab idea Liz. A new blog I’ve just started for my husband’s biz Pro Studio Supply could certainly use your professional advice. Great timing for me. Thanks a million.

    Hi Liz, I found you via Geoffrey Philp’s blog. I just commented him and thought your readers might be interested to see what I wrote:

    Hello Geoffrey!

    After reading your post I decided to sign on to this as well. Unlike you, I don’t think I’m going to post an article about my posts. You see, some of the articles I believe I researched and wrote to perfection, have barely been seen by netizens, while some posts that were written quickly, even some as “throwaways” have gone on to become monster hit-grabbers. Some posts that I wrote in 2005 are still catching hits on a daily basis.

    In recent months, two posts, one about teen actress Miley Cyrus and the other about Hillary Clinton’s right-hand Huma Abedin, gobbled up traffic like there was no tomorrow, while some special stories and RIPS barely got noticed (except this week’s post about the death of DJ K-Swift).

    Some blogs are able to atract large numbers of RSS subscribers and a “following” or regular readership. In my estimation I have about 50 total “followers.” But you know what? On any day should my blog get thousands of hits, it’s those 50 loyalists who really count, who make my day when I look in the blog stats and see that they’ve come back.

    For me, the best thing about blogging (besides getting issues out there and off my chest) is meeting wonderful people, like you and many others. Thank-you Geoffrey, and thank-you “others” for making my daily journey across life a little easier each day.

    Peaceful Blessings,
    Dave Lucas
