Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Challenge January 22 Day 22. How are you? This mornings prompt asked us ” What are the most common challenges your target market faces, around the product/service you deliver? Pick the top 3 or 5 and address them with the solutions.”
Competition in blogging as I live in a small town inside a bigger City and there are bloggers all around me. Finding out about events is hard. Especially if your a new blogger.
You have to think outside the box and reach out to companies on your own. Be anticipating the word no, but don’t let that stop you ask them what can you change so they would want to work with you.
Partner with bloggers and set up events on your on. If you have more than one Niche see how they can overlap and find events that compliments both Niches.
When conducting reviews you have to be fair and honest and if your reviewing a product that doesn’t do what it says it should. Contact the company and let them know.
If things don’t change post your review and be prepared for negative comments about the items because people don’t like hearing bad things about the items they use.
Always let your readers know you don’t know everything but your willing to listen and learn from others. There are bloggers who are 10 times more successful than I am and I am okay with that.
I just want them to be happy and love what they do. I can and will learn from them. Just don’t give up and if someone tells you you can’t do something thank them and move forward don’t let them discourage you. Only you and the Lord knows what you can and can not do.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
Great advice on reviewing! If I find I need to leave a less than 5 star review, I always make sure to post something positive then sat something like, I feel the finish could have been smoother.
I enjoyed your post today…there is competition in everything we do today. How one talks, how one lives, how one thinks, what one does – It’s ridiculous at times how life has become so complex.
I’m definitely feeling the squeeze right now being new to blogging with the issues at hand in fb land. I’ve had to have a few head space conversations about why I should move forward, or just say to heck with it moments. LOL – But as you know, I don’t give up. Never have before and I’m not going to now…It makes me even more determined. I’m still wrapping my head around what areas I want to focus on and how I will encompass the passions I have to bring them together in one place. As you know, I do that in my crafting and now I just need to bring it to fruition in the big picture.
