Blogging 201: So you've started a blog. Now what?

Our Blogging 101 series back in January was so popular, I had people asking me what they should do to be the very best blog they can be. So I thought about it for a while, gauging reactions and asking for opinions. It's not that I didn't want to do it (I really did!), but I wasn't sure what I wanted to talk about. But I realized that I could talk about what it takes to keep a blog going for as long as you want to keep doing it. So here is what Blogging 201 series will cover:

• What social media reach is and what you can do to gain more social media reach.
• What those stats that are so important mean to companies and yourself as a blogger.
• How you can get those review/giveaway/paid opportunities many bloggers get.
• Building your blog as a brand.
• Becoming an ambassador for brands.
• How, where, and when to promote your blog posts.
• Should you become self-hosted blog?

All these things are super important when you want your blog to grow and get amazing opportunities. 

So that you're not bombarded by tons of information at one time, which I have a habit of doing, the series will be spread through out a week or two. If you ever have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on one of the posts or even e-mail me! Because I pretty much taught myself how to become more than just a frugal living blog, I want to help since I know many of you lead super busy lives. 

Is there anything else you would like to see covered during our Blogging 201 series?
