Do want to start a blog but don't know how? Are you confused about something and need help? Ask questions here.

Bloglovin'... can someone PLEASE tell me what it's all about? I signed up but I have absolutely no idea what to do with it! Help!

Hey Bhramori!

If you sign up with Bloglovin', everyone who follows you will see your posts in their feed. And if you follow them, you'll see theirs. Your posts automatically link from your blog with Bloglovin', so you don't even have to do anything. I think Bloglovin' is great because a lot of people have it, and it's another way for you to follow their blog. Say, you have a wordpress, but you don't have a blogger account. But you want to follow blogs that are hosted on blogger. You could subscribe by email to all of them, but do you really want to be emailed hundreds of posts every week? Instead, you can follow them on Bloglovin', and all of their posts will show up in your feed. You can also save posts that you really like :)

Hope that helps!

Wanted: Co-Blogger!

I'm looking for a co-blogger to post once a week over at shewouldread.com. I'm serious about growing my book blog and helping aspiring authors. Send me an email about working with me at shewouldread@gmail.com!

Thank you so much, that really cleared things up a lot! (And so sorry for this very late reply! :-( )

Hi I'm new here. =)

I've recently decided to create a book blog but I don't exactly know how it works. =(

Though I've researched most and know some info I'm still confused on some other matters.

I hope it's okay to drop these questions:
1. What is book/blog tour? how to join and what's in it for your blog? ( I mean what do you get in return for hosting a book tour, aside from free copy of a book which I assume is already a given)
2. How can you get a guest post? or guest post in other blog?
3. Lastly, how can you join those contest (not as a contestant but as a sponsor? I mean be part of it. Is is a joint venture? or do you have to join a site? memberships?

Actually I'm mostly interested in how you keep you blog consistent for post and driving traffic and social media likes and follows.

Thanks so much!!!! I would really appreciate your help! =)

Hi there! I'm new as well and I had one or two questions.

At what point would you recommend signing up for Bloglovin? I currently get around 150 unique visitors a month and I hope for this number to grow as I continue posting. Is it something that you think would really help to advertise my blog?

Based on my unique visitors a month amount, do you think my blog would benefit from a giveaway? I'd like to hold one sometime, but I want it to be effective.

Thank you!

I have a Wordpress blog called www.thebookishlibrarian.com. Can anyone tell me how I can blog on more than one page at a time? I've heard you can't really do that on Wordpress, but there're ways around it, such as using categories or using different layouts. I use categories as genres, and organize my book reviews that way, but I also have a Storytime page where I like to post storytime plans, and would love to organize them the same way, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any tips? I haven't been seriously blogging for long, about a few months. I did some research and asked a few questions but haven't posted here yet. I'm always looking for ways to improve my blog, as I'm sure holds true for all of you. Thanks so much! -Michelle
