Is Your Blog Ready for the Limelight?

One of the key questions asked by blog owners is “How do I get traffic to my blog?

Traffic doesn’t always happen on cue but when it comes, you need to be ready for it. Here’s a story of a blogger whose number just came up.

Jana has a blog and submitted a great question to the pros at Problogger.net. Her question How Much Free Content Should I Put in My Blog? was answered by Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips.  Because Daniel’s a great guy, he includes a link to Jana’s blog at the top of the post.  That’s the way most successful bloggers are, by the way.  They’re very generous when it comes to giving credit.

As a result, the clock has begun ticking on Jana’s blog’s 15 minutes of blog fame.

That’s often the way traffic happens with a blog.   Perhaps you’ve broken a story… or asked a question…  usually it boils down to being in the right place at the right time.  When it happens, it’s usually unexpected and with that in mind, be prepared in advance.

Hopefully, Jana’s blog is featuring the right look, the right post titles and the right post content to connect with visitors and grow her own target audience.

Is your blog ready for its 15 minutes of fame?  If you knew your blog was going to be featured on Problogger.net next week, what would you do this week to prepare?

Treat every day as if tomorrow is the day the limelight will shine on your blog tomorrow… because it just may!
