Problogger - A Great Resource for All Bloggers

Written By: Melissa Minock

Problogger is currently number 16 on Ad Age's list of 150 Power Blogs. Problogger is successful because they have made themselves a trusted resource for blogging advice. I recently started my own fashion blog and I have been using Problogger frequently for tips and advice. I really like Problogger author, Darren Rowse's straight forward writing style. His posts are very easy to follow.

Problogger is one-stop-shopping for blogger advice — They have a diverse amount of information that can be useful for in-experienced and experienced bloggers. I have found the The How to Blog - Blogging for Beginners Guide, to be an extremely useful reference. The guide organizes the links to all the Problogger articles that a beginning blogger should read. Some examples of useful beginner articles: What is a Blog?,Blog Tools, Blog Design for Beginners, Useful and Unique Content, Introduction to Making Money for Blogs, etc. After reading these articles, I feel much more confident in my blogging capabilities.

I have been blogging for about a month now, but I am struggling to find readers. Today I read up on finding readers and increasing readership. Some useful articles I found on the topic were Finding Readers for Your Blog - What we Wish We Knew and Growing Your Blog's Readership by Targeting Readers. I'm going to try some of the tips out and hopefully people will start following my blog. I linked my blog to my Facebook page and that has drawn about 100 readers, but no one is following me consistently with Google, Bloglovin', or Technorati. I definitely need to start commenting on blogs and interacting with other fashion bloggers. Hopefully once they know I exist, they will follow my blog.

Anyways, I'm very greatful to Darren Rowse for sharing his blogging knowledge. He's helped me out tremendously.
