Why reading others’ blogs pays off
Yes, sometimes we all get a bit myopic or narcissistic or both and think that the world revolves (or should revolve) around us/our blogs. Though I’m confident that we each rock in our own way and millions of people would benefit from reading our blogs, it’s often invaluable to get out of our own bubbles and see what wisdom, funny ideas, useful tips, and interesting writing others have to offer.
Here’s a recent sampling of worthwhile blogging-related reads I found browsing the results from day 1 of ProBlogger’s “Top 5″ Group Writing Project.
- Top 5 WordPress plugins that help increase comments (because bloggers are about community and conversation, that’s why)
- Top 5 tips writing for blogs (if you write poorly no one will understand what you’re attempting to say)
- The top 5 free search engine optimization tools (because we’re all wanting to “be discovered”)
- 5 steps to securing your data (without our data some of us wouldn’t know our own phone numbers or what time to have lunch)
- Become blog worthy (because a good laugh is important and lots of laughs is plain ol’ fun)
I’ll be adding my own “top 5″ tomorrow, so make sure you take time to come read it.
