Free Blogging Tips
- 5 Comment
Of course you can get great blogging tips from us. I’ve even offered tips and help to contest winners and friends. There’s another way to get some free blogging tips.
5 Free Blogging Tips
Easton over at Business Blog Wire let me know of his blog’s birthday promotion. He is offering 5 blogging tips for anyone that emails him. For every 20th person to request tips, he will give them 20!
He’s thanking his readers for the support of the past 2 years, and also wanted to extend it to BAYB readers.
Our Tips
Before recommending the tips, I asked for tips for our blog. Here is what Easton had to say about us:
- Masthead is too big.
- Make headlines and text a tiny bit bigger if possible
- Masthead makes the leaderboard ad kind of invisible – or, the ad looks like part of the logo so it kind of takes away from it.
- Maybe only show 5 latest posts on your homepage since there is not much stuff in the right column.
- I think you have great content with a nice community built up. Maybe make an e-book or a report or a “Best Of” with paid access that your biggest fans can buy.
- Maybe a tagline would help under or in the masthead – something like “Blogging tips from bloggers all over the world.”
Lucky us, we got an extra one! Our theme is a bit limiting, however I did remove the Neverblue Ads Affiliate banner. I also liked the idea of the ebook and the ‘tagline’ posted somewhere.
It’s always good to get a fresh perspective into your blogs design and direction.

Glad you liked the tips, Matthew. I’m trying to get caught up on all the tip requests today – still got a couple dozen or so to get through. It’s been very rewarding. The best part has just been meeting other bloggers who care about improving their blogs. Very enjoyable to help people and at least offer a fresh perspective on what they might do to improve.
