It's that time again where I have the honor of hosting The Grow Your Blog with two of my best online pals Julie from This Gal Cooks and Paula from Call Me PMc. If you haven't visited their blogs, you are seriously missing out on some incredibly mouth-watering recipes, so please take a trip over very soon!
So, what is the Grow Your Blog Hop all about? NETWORKING! Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership. Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog. How do you network? Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog.
THIS WEEK'S HOSTS & LOVELY CO-HOSTS!

WHEN YOU LINK UP TO THIS PARTY:
- Follow your hosts and co-hosts
- Link up the main page of your blog, not an individual post. You may link up your individual posts to Marvelous Mondays.
- Visit and follow other bloggers
- Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, Facebook, Bloglovin, etc)
- Invite them to visit your blog (be sure to leave your blog web address - too many times have i seen bloggers comment and request a visit to their blog without leaving their blog web address)
- Communicate with them about what you like on their blog. Let them know you are interested in their blog. USE THEIR NAME! A simple "I'm so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me." just isn't going to interest someone into visiting your blog. Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.
- Grab a button and promote the party(you can get the button on This Gal Cooks right here.)
Thanks for cohosting! I'm a new follower and I look forward to reading more of your posts!

With Love, Rachel
Hi Ang! Thanks for co hosting! Am now following you through GFC! Would love for you to stop by my little blog http://www.ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com! Hope to see you there :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting the hop! Look forward to exploring your blog and getting know you. Off to visit! Have a great night! ~Cindy, littlemisscelebration.com
ReplyDeleteAre you competing with the Kid Lit Blog Hop? Oh no, you wouldn't do that would you? :-) Even though this sounds like a great blog hop and I could use more traffic, would it be fair for me to host the Kid Lit Blog Hop (below for those interested, links good 24/7/365), and then hop over to this networking blog hop? Truth told, I need this kept a secret. I think I am going to visit a link or two when I have time. As you can tell, I am behind on commenting for the Kid Lit Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Kid Lit Reviews. I hope you enjoyed what you read, the review for a wonderful picture book by Jackie Mims Hopkins called Prairie Chicken Little, with a great twist on Chicken Little that will have everyone laughing belly-laughs. I like your site. It is fresh and colorful. Nice to look at. Thanks for joining the Kid Lit Blog Hop. See you again soon.
