Build A Better Blog Day 28

Everyone wants to be recognized and appreciated. Take the time to thank those who make your blog successful. I started a weekly Props to my Peeps post where I write about someone or something that helped me or turned a good deed during the week. I use their name, what they did and a link to a blog if they have one. I always get permission to discuss anything personal so I don’t make the person upset or uncomfortable.

This tip doesn’t have to be real complicated. Just pay attention to who reads your blog and who creates links to your posts, and honor them once in a while. Here’s a great example. Jason Alba from JibberJobber gives out a ‘You Get It” award each month. Liz Strauss gives out an SOB award, Successful and Outstanding Bloggers. Come up with your own award or keep it simple with a post thanking them.
