Blogging is not all about people just discovering you all of a sudden to keep your statistics up. It means that you have to have your own part in making sure that your blog would increase its staying power. You, as a blogger is a big tool to ensure that you have a blog that would be relevant in the blogging world. There are a lot of professional blogs in the blog world, what would you need to ensure that you stand out in the problogging world? What are the simple things which you need to improve?
I have prepared a simple list that you could focus on and here are some things you could focus more in problogging:
a. Update Regularly - Scheduling posts are important because it keeps your readers updated in your blog updates and also gives a “scheduled” way of viewing your blog hence making it more professional in a sense. Aside from that, as a blogger you could also have time to compose rich content when you blog more and often.
b. Give back link-love - Linking to a blog or a post could work in two ways. One is to leave a comment to the other blog while the other is featuring that blog in your own post. Either way, these two ways could establish your blog in the social network since hence gaining readers.
c. Lay-out - Yes, appearance do matter when blogging and when you have an eye-catching design, it is certainly worth the reading time.
Problogging is fun but be prepared to do a lot of work before embarking on this journey. So be armed with this information and make your way to problogging!

Hi HP,
Here’s the link to our website.. feel free to comment! ;p I am actually also looking to start something that will generate some extra income. There’s been a unfortunate turn of events that has warranted my thinking of working again actually becoming a reality now. Any good suggestions? Something which I can work from home will be best cos I think after a 7 year hiatus, I’m probably not so marketable anymore in the “Financial” world.. haha! Let me know if something comes up!
