Simple Blogging Tips (for beauty bloggers)

Simple Blogging Tips: 5 ways to encourage readers to leave comments or to discuss a blog post

March 16, 2012 Paris B 33 Comments

First off, I write a beauty blog so the tips I will share here are mostly for beauty bloggers, of which I know many of you are. That said, they are also applicable generally across most blog topic niches – you may have to just think about it a little more 🙂

After I wrote about showing off your blog comment links on your blog to encourage discussion, I had some comments on Twitter and in that same comment box from fellow bloggers about people not commenting on their blogs, and how they can encourage the first step. I don’t profess to know why some blogs have more people commenting than others or how to encourage this. I can only share some tips I have learnt and experienced over the years as a blogger and blog reader, that I hope will help 🙂

how to encourage blog comments

1. Build a community

Yes, easier said than done, but it really is the first step towards receiving comments from readers. Blogging, as I like to emphasise is a community project. I view it as a neighbourhood where our blogs are our houses, and readers are visitors so comments are like visitors coming by to stop for a chat and some coffee or tea or maybe ice cream 🙂

So interact with your readers and other bloggers. Indulge in social media activity of your choice to grow your blog and when your circle is wider, you will find people interacting more with you on your blog, by leaving comments. Friends especially are helpful in this regard because friends always like stopping by for drinks or a snack and a bit o’ gossip 😉

Then, importantly, respond to your commentators where possible. I like it when I get a response to my comment on another blog – it tells me the blogger took the time to read my comment and reply and if I have a question that is answered, all the better! I appreciate that and it keeps me going back and to continue commenting because I know I will get a reply.

Did I ever think I’d enjoy it this much? No.

Did I ever think we’d evolve into such a strong beauty-loving community in which to share our tips, secrets and beauty thoughts? Nope!

mws 5th birthday

Am I enjoying it? Hell yeah! 😀 5 years in the blogging scene has given me my fair share of ups and downs and trite as it might sound, I could never have pulled through without all of you 🙂 So let me share with you the 5 things beauty blogging has taught me in these 5 years. Lessons I’ve learnt and applied to my daily life – whoever said nothing good comes out of blogging doesn’t know what they are talking about 🙂

Simple Blogging Tips: So you want to be a beauty blogger? Here’s 10 + 2 Tips to get you started

February 24, 2012 Paris B 96 Comments

10 starter tips for beauty blogs

In what seems to be a bit of a coincidence, I recently received a slew of emails with questions relating to blogging. The predominant theme that stood out was “How do you get a successful and popular blog?” and I must confess that I was stumped.

You see, when I started out back in 2007 it was not with the intention of becoming a successful or popular beauty blog. Back in the day, there was no such thing. People laughed at you for wasting your time blogging, and they would say “You write about beauty products? Why? Who would want to read it when there are magazines with prettier pictures?” But I stuck with it anyway because I was having fun and enjoying writing for fun instead of for work and well, as we are all now aware, things have moved on. About 2 years after I started blogging, it exploded with a cosmic bang and here we are.

But I know there are some of you who may be wondering the same thing as those who have written in, and I thought I’d share some tips to get you started. I hope they are helpful and if you blog, I’d love for you to share anything that I might have missed out on 🙂 If you’re an avid blog reader, do share too what you enjoy seeing in the blogs you read and we can all aim to improve 🙂 (please settle in for a read – its long 😛 )

Simple Blogging Tips: Show off your comments to promote discussion – I learn a lot from comments too!

February 3, 2012 Paris B 30 Comments

show off comments

The nice thing about blogging is how it brings like minded people closer – you won’t be reading my blog if you didn’t share my love for beauty and beautiful things right? 🙂 And sometimes, when something a blogger posts resonates with me I feel the need to make my mark and add my 2 cents – enter the comments!

As a blogger and a blog reader, I love looking through the comments box. Sometimes, the most interesting things and discussions take place in there among the readers and that is really fun!

As a blogger, you can facilitate this by showing off your comments and ensuring that the link to the comment box is easily found and accessible from the main page, and from the inside of your post. As a reader, I’m sure you too will be more likely to click through a post with high comment count to see what the fuss is about, right? I know I do 😀

.

#mykiehls wraps their popular products in special packaging designed by Janine Rewell for the Holiday season. I love the scent of the lavender soap! It’s so strong! I’d keep it in my clothes drawer or cupboard to scent it though. It smells amazing!!
.
.
Also, Kiehl’s is taking a step towards being a sustainable brand by using fair trade and sustainable ingredients and packaging. Bring back 4 Kiehl’s product packaging to their stores and you’ll get a deluxe sample in return! Perfect for all #kiehls fans! .
. 
What’s your fave Kiehl’s product? I’m a bit out of touch with the brand to be honest. Didn’t realise quite a few new things have been released. In the past, I liked the Midnight Recovery Oil & the Powerful Line Recovery Concentrate serum. Good stuff! What’s yours? 😉
