Happy Saturday All! I read a ton of blog posts each week, and this is Top 5 Saturday, a post where I share five posts that stood out for me this week. These posts are primarily helpful, funny, or inspiring in nature. Blogging is time-consuming, and stumbling upon this little gems is golden. So, without further ado, let’s see what caught my eyes.
TOP 5 SATURDAY – Best Blog Posts (2/9/2019)
Blog Post #1
How to Grow an Email Newsletter Starting from Zero – Christina McDonald, Jane Friedman
This Guest post is simply incredible. Christina developed an effective system to grow her email list that is both entertaining and somewhat not too costly. There is a wealth of information in this post for authors who want to promote their book and grow their email list. I highly recommend reading.
Blog Post #2
A Quick Guide to Guest Posting – Cristian Mihai, The Art of Blogging
I’m going to start by saying that I have no idea how this blogger can write so many posts in a week. This is insanity, but I’m glad he does. 🙂 His blog targets bloggers who want to grow their audience and blog the right way. What I like about this post is that it gives you an idea of what to expect if you want to guest post. Food for thoughts here.
Blog Post #3
5 Tips to Drive Traffic to Your Book Blog – Briana, Pages Unbound
This post provides five helpful tips based on eight years of blogging. What I really liked about it is how honest and transparent Briana and Krysta are with their site. I love the passion that transpires from their blog posts. Amazing post!
Blog Post #4
Tips I learned for New bloggers From my First Year – Kay Wisteria, Hammock of Books
This post approaches the topic differently. There are different components in it – driving traffic, managing your time (because yes, blogging takes time), and other helpful tips to help you grow your blog. I love the insights and advice Kay provides. Congrats again on your Bloganiversary!
Blog Post #5
Requesting Review Copies – ThePerksOfBeingNouraBlog
This post isn’t from last week, but I missed it, so it makes the list this week. If you’re starting a book blog, the information on this post is perfect for you. It tells you where and how to receive ARCs, and she also discusses some of the requirements. Perfect post for new Book Bloggers.
Don’t hesitate to share a post or recommend a blog in the comment if you feel that it could be valuable to all of us. If you’re new to blogging, feel free to check out this post too: What it really takes to blog.
