Click my logo to ask me a question!

This is an exciting new plugin (only available to WordPress.org users, sorry) I found while following my friends on Twitter. It randomly and automatically publishes old posts at specified intervals on Twitter, which will help promote your posts to a wider audience by giving them the extra exposure they deserve!

Go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/, search for ‘Tweet Old Post’ and it will be the first on offer:

Download it onto your computer and upload it into your FTP browser such as FileZilla. Alternatively go to your plugin page and request ‘Tweet Old Post’ and upload it to your plugins.

Once it’s installed, don’t forget to activate it…

…and click on ‘Settings’:

Fill in the fields to set up what you would like to happen, and don’t forget to confirm by clicking on the buttons at the bottom, to save your settings and to send a ‘practise’ tweet:

Here it is shown in TweetDeck – isn’t it exciting? Now your old posts will get a better chance of being read by a larger amount of people in different time zones throughout the Twittersphere!

Reveal your passion when you post

Fairy Blog Mother

There is one thing that will get your blog’s audience going, and that is your passion for your subject. They may be inspired by your writing, revel in your enthusiasm, absorb your knowledge and be in awe of your expertise, but it will be your passion that makes them come back for more!

It will be your passion that will make you write more posts, which means more new material, and thus more information to entice the search engine spiders to visit to index your posts. This in turn will therefore publicise your blog to a wider audience. Your great content will also encourage more readers to subscribe to your RSS feed, which in turn can be fed into social networking sites, exposing it even further through viral marketing and sharing tactics.

Your blog needs to have a subject you really enjoy writing about. It needs to be as wide as possible to stimulate you to undertake relevant research for your readers, to transform this information into something new, taken from your experiences and expertise. If you find a subject that has been blogged about many times before, don’t be put off; write about your point of view, how you see the situation, what slant you can put on it, what you can recommend or what item you have found that you wish to share. This makes the subject far more interesting to read, rather than purely writing blandly about a much quoted theme.

Eventually posting passionately should become a way of life. You will learn to find new content wherever you are, something will stimulate a possible post, or your brain will be inspired to think in another way to express your thoughts or observations. This then needs to be reverted it into something relevant that will interest your readers, providing them with a passionately inspired post written with them in mind, designed to entertain them suitably to encourage them to either comment or return for more.
