WFMW: Blogging Tip--Increasing Your Traffic/Subscribers


This week's Works for Me Wednesday is themed--what are your blogging tips? Here's one of mine:

One way I've increased my traffic and subscribers has been by participating in memes (like this one!), but particularly those outside my niche. I read a lot of non-frugal blogs--decorating, parenting, cooking--and I love all the linkups they share. So I've made a point to participate some of their memes, and I've really seen an increase in traffic from those blogs. Besides getting some home projects done and having fun crafting, I'm also getting new people to check out my blog. And sometimes they stay! Here are some memes you might want to try:

There are TONS of memes happening in the blogosphere. Find one or two that are a good match for you but are outside your niche, and give it a try!

What are some ways you increase your readership and subscribers?

Go see the big Linky at We Are That Family for lots of great tips!

Hi,
Thank you so much for the information in this post. I am a new blogger and didn't even know what a meme was ( I can't believe I am admitting this) I am really excited to start one on my blog and also find some on other blogs that I can start participating in. Of course yours will be the first.

I host Mailbox Monday each week and love meeting the new blogging friends I've made! We share the freebies we've gotten in the mail each week.

I also participate in Wordless Wednesday at 5 Minutes for Mom and Aloha Friday at An Island Life!

This is an awesome idea. I have done a couple before, but usually miss them! I need to add the meme's to my calendar.

Thanks!
