When I first began my career in social media, I made two of those hallmark mistakes when promoting my brand (No, I definitely flossed). I definitely promoted my product to heavily while not doing enough in return. Generosity is one of the hallmarks of successful social media strategy…I didn't get the memo until I had been in the game for a month or so (and I was wondering why my subs to digg were only getting 2 diggs ) I also am working on branching out into more face to face work (I've used the phone a lot more…but due to distance with a lot of my friends am having trouble with the face aspect) Great advice, Jason.

Jason,

I agree with you think 4 and 7 are the most important it seems many of the most read bloggers invest lots of time in face-to-face networking. Good list thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Good info. I've made a few of these mistakes (including forgetting about flossing).

One other one mistake to consider: Being impatient. It may take a while to reach whatever goals you have established, so don't expect to be an overnight sensation or must-read.

Something I have learned about social media in the past 5 months I've been involved is that it deals with a lot of karma. It is a slow long process to build influence and try to gain respect online. If you go about it the right way, and share others comments, blogs, posts and are eager to learn, it can only benefit you in the long run. Good tips, I'm thinking of starting my own personal movie blog with a buddy who is new to social media and have already sent this out to him.

#10 (or #11 if someone got there first):

Giving up too soon (note: this is not contrary to the top 9!)

As most of us know from experience, it takes time to establish yourself as a valuable resource. It can takes weeks, months, even years of work to get on the radar scope for many people. There are a lot of good blogs and good people out there: it takes time for the word to spread about you.

Marketing (let's be honest here) is work and sometimes it's very hard work with little short-term payback. If you understand that it's a time consuming, hard thing to do at times, then you might be less tempted to quit.

The ratio of abandoned to active blogs (100:1?) shows that there are a lot of people who don't stick to it for the long term. Granted, perhaps a lot of those blogs and bloggers didn't have the same ambition, talent, and perseverance to keep working away. Maybe some had intentionally short lifespans. But a lot of people probably gave up when they discovered that the cost/benefit ratio wasn't working for them, especially if they weren't building much of an audience.

However, I'll be that some of those blogs could have achieved a greater level of success if they just kept trying and got smarter about their work.

I've been working hard at this for about a year and I'm starting to see signs of building momentum for my own blog. After awhile it seems like less effort is required to keep things going and not as much effort required to move even faster or farther.

But you've got to make friends, support other people, and show commitment.

Food for thought.

This is a hugely helpful list. I started blogging a few months ago and I plan to keep this all in mind. Thanks for taking the time to think of an extra few to add on – all of these make perfect sense but aren't immediately obvious.

But the spikes do happen when you're thanking tribe members for inspiration. Seems like social media folks are like folks everywhere – they like to be flattered.

Mistake #12: Putting your house on the market before you've tidied it up. Don't start promoting your blog until it's ready to share.

That means before you start promoting: Make sure your blog design doesn't stink of amateurism (e.g., default theme, broken graphics, etc). Have more than a few quality posts up so your visitors know you're serious. Don't allow spam and pingbacks to dominate the “discussion” in your comments section under the mistaken belief that it makes you look more popular than you are. Etc.

First impressions matter. If you promote too soon, the traffic you do drum up won't return and you'll have taken steps backwards not forwards.

Great post Jason. I would add another one. Don't brag about how many readers or comments you are attracting. You may be excited by the 20 comments your blog post has received, but no one else is. That is always a turnoff for me.

Good point. It's human nature for bloggers to get excited about milestones in subscribers or comments or unique visitors. But you're right. No one other than them care. I tell my wife because I need to tell someone. She doesn't understand the numbers or care at all but at least I've gotten it out of my system so I don't seem like I'm bragging to anyone. Nice add, my friend.

Good post Jason. As a relatively new blogger, I'm happy to see that I'm at least going about things in the right way. For a #10, I think someone mentioned this already but just wanted to reiterate that making your blog is a slow burn and not a flash fire. At Watercooler we get a little frustrated at times that we may be the only ones reading our blog. But we're going to keep plugging away confident that if the content is good, they will come.

I'll take a stab at #10. Promoting Your Blog Before You Realize What It's About.

I've been advising folks to NOT promote their blog outside of “real” friends and family for the first 90 days. It takes a while to find your voice, and if you start telling people what your blog is about from day one, you're going to have to go back and change it because your community will eventually influence what you niche is.

Plus, writing 10 posts about a topic is one thing. Writing 200 is something totally different.

Work on your content and your voice for a while, and then worry about promotion. If you write some killer stuff at the beginning that didn't get an exposure because you were in quiet mode, you can always re-publish it later (provided it's not time-sensitive material).

Oh yes. I've seen some corporate blogs that have six posts in the last two years. That's no more effective that quarterly updates to your website, which isn't effective in engaging or attracting an audience either.

Great ideas Jason. Though I have been more of a follower in the social media than a creator (blogger in this example), then your ideas are still good. I remember I spend the first couple of moths shouting around at Twitter and Friendfeed, and then wondered why I got no likes/comments… couldnt people see how insanely interesting/funny my one-liners were?… No! Of course they couldn't. No one cares if you haven't built quality content, as well as forgetting that central to all social media is CONVERSATION – meaning listening, commenting etc. and not just shouting at everyone around… I see that as a central point in many of your points. Once again, great work!

Excellent post Jason!

I think one of the most important things is leaving thoughtful comments on other blogs. It helps to provide a minimal increase in traffic and it helps others, including the author, become acquainted with your blog and your views. This increases the chances that the blogger will link to them in the future, request an interview, or ask for a guest post.

I also think that writing guest posts are critical because it allows you to get your voice out there to a new audience and also, in most cases, to a larger audience. If you're producing quality content, it also helps you to stay top-of-mind if other bloggers in the space continue to see you leaving comments, guest posting, and then also having a presence on social media sites, etc.

It helps to provide a minimal increase in traffic and it helps others, including the author, become acquainted with your blog and your views. This increases the chances that the blogger will link to them in the future, request an interview, or ask for a guest post.

I also think that writing guest posts are critical because it allows you to get your voice out there to a new audience and also, in most cases, to a larger audience. If you're producing quality content, it also helps you to stay top-of-mind if other bloggers in the space continue to see you leaving comments, guest posting, and then also having a presence on social media sites, etc.

[...] 9) Jason Falls talks about 10 promotional mistakes that new bloggers tend to make. [...]

Jason – In addition to commenting on other blogs I would add helping out in forums where your particular expertise is valued or even simply asking questions. There is always an opportunity to include your blog url and forums always appreciate users who can help out. You'd be amazed how many people, who while not immersed in social media are interested in how to design a better blog or want to understand a technical tip. I have found a high percentage of my traffic is coming from forums where I frequent to ask questions and give answers.

I'd also second commenting on other blogs. I find many bloggers simply don't do this enough. Not only does it provide valuable backlinks to help page rank (and encourage organic ranking with Google) it is an opportunity to get into more conversation. Also, when someone takes time and comments on your blog share the comment love by going to their blog and commenting on a post of theirs. Not enough bloggers do this either. Obviously have something to say, not just “thanks for commenting on my blog….blah, blah” resolve check out their posts and say something thoughtful. They will appreciate it.

In terms of other promotion there are also more subtle ways to go about it. Including your blog url in your email and in any offline promotions you might do.

On point #7 Jason, I believe argument can be good as long as it's respectful and on topic. On my personal blog I write about a rather controversial topic… and the lively argument we have sometimes is good. If readers go, they go. I always get new ones. I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with what I say… and I say so. i found people promoted my posts because they said something different from “the norm.”

But above all, focus on writing quality content that you enjoy writing and sharing and your blog will almost promote itself. Many many people blurk for quite a while before they ever post a comment… I've had people reading my blog for over a year before they de-blurk and post a comment!

#10 – I've no idea what on earth that means and think you should have stuck with 9.

[...] in his post, Get Social Media Smart with 26 Tips on the Social Web. Jason Falls points out 10 Promotional Mistakes of New Bloggers. Last but not least; Lidija Davis tells us what President-elect Obama has to say about the internet [...]

Regarding #5 & #7… I think it's particularly important that people remember #7 (don't think you're smarter than everyone else) when leaving a comment on someone's blog. You're a guest in their house (their blog), be polite and acknowledge their point. Have something constructive to contribute that compliments the writer and shares your point of view.

One point I think I think new bloggers over-think is their subscriber numbers. Granted, it's nice to see the numbers grow but don't stress out about it too much. Some people make the mistake of developing the self-promotional mindset in the search of new subscribers to the extent that they ruin their relationship with their existing subscriber base (readers who are ready and willing to talk about you to their other friends on the net). Darren, Liz, Chris (and Jason too I think) would all agree…value your readers. Be present with them, get to know them, and slowly but surely, that community will grow.

Spending all your time developing a great looking blog site, but adding crappy content. Writing 7 pages of belly button gazing material with less than 10% actual information about what you are portraying as your topic.
No amount of promotion will make me read it if this is the case. You might get one partial read out of me, and I might use your site as graphic stimuli, but that's it.

There is a fine line between over zealous promoting and putting yourself out there. Some people are afraid to toot their own horn while others have firework displays with jets and flashing neon signs that point to nowhere.

I say promote more than you normally would just make sure the flashing neon sign points to a cool destination for your readers.

Nice work.

Jason,

As we've discussed I've struggled with the personal promotion aspect of blogging. I've always been someone, outside of the web, who went about my business and let my actions speak louder than words. You bring up an excellent that without some promotion you will be unable to get any exposure.

I've found that asking the opinions of blogging/twitter icons has helped me personally. Not only does it get your material in front of them you get comments or suggestions on other points you can later blog about. It creates a relationship that is traded with my own commenting on their blogs.

Jason, very good read and useful, I'm thankful @chrisbrogan referred me to your blog. I'm fairly new to blogging but not new to building brand, reputation and influence. For me, one of the key points (& I see this echo'ed in other comments here) is time. In our instant gratification and feedback world it's easy to think that influence should develop just as instantiously, but it's just not so. Over time you build experience, increase reputation and trust, and grow influence. I believe investing quality effort into that process is really the only way to build long lasting person brand.

Hi Jason,
It's bothering me really, cuz I have friended, commented, subscribed, followed a ton of them but when it comes to reciprocation from them, I get a maybe, 1% in return :S. My tumblr, twitter, friendfeed, plurk and other networks show lots of people that I follow and comment, but I got very few comments in return. Should I give up the social media? LOL.
Thanks Jason!
