The Secret To Getting Noticed…

(I need your help! Read on and give suggestions…)

I keep blogging at B2M with one fundamental problem. It doesn’t stand out from the crowd. It’s not quite unique enough.
How does one get noticed? I like to think I have a unique premise… but I’m not executing it well.

I need to do some deep thinking on what I can do to help propel this blog to give it some worthwhileness. Does it need a new look (*probably*)? Does it need better content (*definitely*)? Do I need ads or guest posts? Video posts?

These are things I think about when trying to grow my blog. This blog is a huge learning experience for me. I’ve never done any sort of blogging before (and am a new member of the blog-o-sphere as a reader too). So I’m just kind of learning as I go. I would love your input! I take constructive criticism VERY WELL. I’d love to hear what you think:

What do you love about B2M? What do you hate? What are your suggestions? What do you do with your site(s) to help you be unique–to stand out from the crowd? If this were your blog, what would you do with it? I welcome criticism.

I also urge you to think this way. What are you doing to be unique? Are you? Are you standing out from the crowd? If not, why not? Start thinking. Together we’ll prosper.

On a side note: One reason this blogs content is somewhat lacking in depth, is there seem to be so many things on my plate at one time. My *fairly* in depth affiliate marketing test (which I’ll give a full progress report on this weekend). My full time job. A side web deb project. AND working at Red Robin as a house magician. Couple that with giving enough of my new girlfriend, and spending time with my family and friends. I’m now realizing that I need much better time management. With that, I bid you adieu have a great weekend.

Another thought to getting exposure that I have been reading about lately is guest bloggers, have you others that write the same niche, you maybe able to ask them to write for you and then their readers might follow giving you a new readership as well.
I have tried this with my Jericho Blog and it has worked, tho I do guest blogging more myself on a few other blogs.

[…] But I’ll continue to run it for a few more weeks, and concentrating on writing more “Get Noticed” […]

Hi, my advice for getting noticed would be monthly if not weekly accountability on your blog.
You could for example setup a bank account and accumulate money in it, and give the balance every month, over time it’ll be interesting.
Of course being a millionaire will mean you’ll have money invested in some other things than a bank account, so work it out yourself, but the keyword i guess is public accountability and regularity, so your readers build expectations
