Tech Blogs

I get emailed every minute of every day. Many of the ones I get now are junk emails. I love when all of you send in good questions, though. Vito sent in a question, asking me if “Tech Blogs” are overdone, or not. Have they become too common?

Given that the Internet is technical in nature, and blogs (the setup and management) are technical in nature… it stands to reason that many bloggers are Techie who blog about technical matters. Wow… that’s a mouthful. But yes, it’s a pretty crowded market.

You have to have a unique voice. That is a given. Your point needs to be fresh and new. Even if others don’t agree with you… you need to blog what you know. Be passionate about what you’re writing. KNOW your material. It’s all about doing something different, and being yourself.

I have one word for you if you want to get traffic to your blog: Network. Where are you online? Become active on Social Networking sites, such as Twitter and MySpace. Whose blogs are you reading and commenting on? None? Shame on you! How do you think others will find you? You will have to reach out to others, to bring them to you. More important than the content on your blog is your interaction within the community.

Spectacular advice. It is the truth.

great video.

starting my own site soon, this info is handy.

thanks chris

vetostechblog? for blogspot… idk how to spell it.

thats the right spelling. ir tried it.

there actually are 1.7 billion people that use the internet

Bzzz wrong! it’s vitostechblog with an “I” dot blogspot dot com.

The more “Tech Blogs,” the more opinions I can get.

Why is the video quality so poor this week???

There are a lot of tech blogs, and its a challenge to get it popular, I decided to give a tech blog a-go and it has been running since September and I have 400 – 500 unique readers and 14-RSS Feed readers, also set up a forum to get the community chatting, its not huge but its big enough for a nice friendly community where we all know each other :D ,

My advice would be to just stick at it, I first kept my blog quite for a while creating posts, until I had about 10 – 15 posts then I told my friends/forums so they had something to read! Also join social networking, I use a plugin for wordpress that posts a tweet on twitter every time I post a blog entry, that works great!

You always have good Tech Support, Thanks I love watching your Channel!!

Thanks Chris. This is very interesting and i think that it will help many people I agree. Get your link out there, let people know what you have to offer. I to indeed have my own blog(just click on my name above) and i am still working on it. For my last blog it took me just about a day to get noticed on the google search engine. So just keep at it, and you will get it in no time! :)

Nice info, I may not be one of the technical people whom wants to start a blog [I'm actually a designer looking to start a blog of my own], but I am happy to say that this advice is still relevant to my tastes, so thank you! :D
