贪得无厌的欲望与写博客终究不能同在一艘船上。
立如果你纯粹是为了赚钱而开设博客的话，你的注意力就无法完全集中在博客的话题上，也很难写出博客的内容，因为这不是你真正想写的东西而只是你认为会获得更高回报而已。写博客的时候有两种态度：1.认为所有的其他博客都是你的竞争对手。2. 别人的博客里都有一个机会。
虽然他人的博客，特别是那些话题与你类似的博客会成为你的竞争对手，却也是让你成功的一个筹码，请听我的解释。
潜藏博客圈中的机会
你想想看，要是全球就你一个人开设博客，可是却没有人踏进你这个非凡的世界，那么相信你的博客将会很快消亡，因为根本就没有博客、博客撰写、博客写 手这些需求。正是有了博客圈这个概念，人们互相欣赏对方的博客，这才意味着你可以在自己的领域创造领先地位，才有了博客发展的空间。但是要是有成百上千的 人跟你写相同的话题呢？那么，请你好好利用这种优势。以我多年来在博客圈中的经验，博客圈里大多数人都是相当不错的(虽然也有一两个例外的) ，他们不介意与你分享知识、友情以及他们对写博客的那份热爱。这些竞争中仍有你的机会，因为如果你是一个善良的人并且不是贪婪到想把所有的流量都吸引到自 己的博客上，那么都会有你发展的空间。如何给自己的“好运”加分呢？如何吸引更多的人参与到你的博客中呢？下面我就与大家分享:
- 在其他博客上发表有用评论:这样做我不仅仅是更多的人点击我的链接获得了更多流量，我同时还收到了文章作者的邮件，问我是否可以把我的评论扩写为一篇文章作为guest post。当然也不是每条评论都会碰上这样的事情，但是总有这样的机会，有很多人希望你能与大家分享你的知识。
- 在你的文章中链接其它博客: 在文章中链接其它博客看起来会让你的读者丢失了，读者可能转到竞争对手的博客去了。但其实这个想法是错误的， 通过给读者提供一些相关的链接，他们会觉得你不但学识丰富并且也愿意给读者提供最具有参考价值的链接而感激你。
- 友情链接: 我个人的博客里没有友情链接，不过有个版块是每天都会阅读的我最喜欢的博客，不过最近在博客圈真的结交了不少朋友，我决定创建一个完整的友情链接，我不要求友情链接给我任何回报，因为我相信“己做不失，未做不得”。
- 吸引读者为你写Guest-post: Guest post会给你带来新的流量，如果你允许其他bloggers为你写guest post你吸引了bloggers甚至还可能从他们的博客上获得链接和一个更好的卡马点数。如果别人在你的博客上发 guest post他会立马觉得和你是一种伙伴关系，并且这种关系会持续长久。通过允许和吸引别人来发布guest post，你给自己一个结交新朋友的机会，或许哪一天就跟这些朋友参加活动，圈子也比现在更广了。
- 获得专业人士的意见: 如果对某方面的东西不太确定，那么请向更专业的人士请教。人们都很喜欢被别人请教并受称赞，最好的办法是问他，在某种情况下，他们会怎么做。例如，我的博 客是关于约会的建议，如果我被读者的约会问题难倒了，我就会询问专业人士的意见并且加上自己的一些想法，以使建议尽可能完美，然后提供给我的读者。这样才 显示出我关心读者的问题，尽自己最大的努力来帮助他们。
- 采访并帮组推广别人:采访别人给读者注入新鲜的内容，并且也给被采访的人一个展示产品或网站的机会。对你来说 又有什么好处呢? 它给你成长的机会。就拿我来说，在采访完我这个领域的一名专家后，我不但可以给读者带来新的内容，我还从别人那获得了广告。采访可以帮助你建立信誉，权 威，并拓展你的朋友圈。
- 填充广告空间：碰上没有广告商的时候，别让你的广告空间空着，联系一些可能感兴趣的人，让他们免费用几个月。这不仅是一个善意的行为，给你的广告服务更多展示的机会，还指不定将来哪一天那位获得免费广告的用户愿意在你的博客上付费广告了。
以上是一些帮助其它blogger并且能给你带来“好运”的一些途径。你的这些行为，通常会以这样或那样的方式给你以回报和好运。只要找到与大家分享的方式，让大家感受你的爱，摒除一些贪欲，相信好运会跟随着你的。
附原文：Don’t Be a Greedy Blogger
’ve only recently realized the benefits of good Karma. Greed and blogging doesn’t go well together at all. Right off the bat I wanted to say that if you’re thinking of starting a blog strictly for money and your heart isn’t in the blog topic, you will not only fail but you will lose all that time you’ll spend creating the blog and writing content that will be extremely difficult to produce just because it’s not something you believe in but just something you think has a high monetary rate of return. There are two ways to looking at blogging: 1. Every other blogger is your competition, or 2. Every other blog out there is an opportunity.Though other blogs, particularly that write about a topic similar to yours, are your competition, they are also your ticket to success. Now allow me to explain.
Opportunity in the Blogosphere
Think about this, if you were the only person on earth with a blog and no one would have caught on to this wonderful innovation then your blog would quickly die because there wouldn’t be enough demand for blogs, blogging, or bloggers. Since there is a blogosphere and people are enjoying each others’ blogs, that means that there is room for you to grow and create a leading blog in your niche. But what if there are already tens or hundreds of blogs writing about the same topic as you are? Well, use that in your advantage. I’ve noticed over the years that mostbloggers are quite good people (nevertheless I have run into one or two a**holes) and they don’t mind to share their knowledge, their friendship, and most importantly their love for blogging. There is opportunity in your competition because if you are a good-hearted individual and aren’t greedy about attracting all the traffic to yourself, there is room for you to grow. Now what are the ways to attract Brownie Points with Karma? There is a list of ways that you may think do not help your blog, but in fact they eventually attract much more people to come to your blog overtime than you would have if you did not take part in them. Here’s the list:
- Provide useful comments on other blogs: By doing this I did not only get lots of traffic from people clicking on my link, but I also received emails from the authors of the posts asking me if I could broaden my comment into a full post and submit it to them as a guest article. This doesn’t happen for every comment, but there’s that chance people will really want you to share your knowledge as a guest post without you even asking for it.
- Link to other blogs in your posts:Linking to other blogs may seem like a sure way to lose readers because they will simply jump ship and start reading your competitor’s posts. But that’s a mistake many bloggers have in mind. By providing readers with relevant links, they see that you know what you’re talking about and you want to help your readers with the most informative links.
- Blogroll: I personally do not have a blogroll on my blog, but what I do have is a post with my favourite blogs that I follow daily. Since only recently I have been getting out there and making lots of friends in the blogging community, I have decided to create a full-blown blogroll linking to the blogs of my friends, which is in the works. I do not ask anything in return from the blogs I link to, because I leave it all to Karma, and more often than not the people I link to end up linking back to me.
- Attract guest posts: Guest posting attracts you links and new traffic, but when you allow other bloggers to guest post, you attract bloggers, sometimes a link from their blog, and again a wave of good Karma. When someone guest posts on your blog they right away feel a certain companionship with you and that can last for a very long time. From simply allowing and attracting guest posts, you open yourself to an opportunity of new friends and new openings for yourself to maybe one day create a certain campaign with that friend that will attract a much wider audience than your current one. If you think you have ideas for a guest post relevant to my blog topic, feel free to contact me.
- Get expert opinions: If you’re not too sure about something, go ahead and ask an expert. People love to be praised and a great way to do that is to ask an expert what they would do in a certain situation. For example, my blog is based on giving dating advice, so if I was to be stumped on a reader’s dating question, I would ask a fellow expert on their opinion and I would throw in some of my ideas to complete the most perfect advice I could possibly provide for my reader. This way I am showing my reader that I care about their issue and want to provide them with the most help I can, and it also allows me to get in touch with interesting people who may eventually want to conduct some sort of business later on, seeing that I cared enough to reach out to them for their expert advice.
- Interview and help promote others:Interviewing others gives your readers fresh new content. It also gives the person being interviewed exposure of their product or website. And what about you, the blogger? Well, it gives you the opportunity to grow. After interviewing an expert in my field, I did not only get to give my readers new content, but I also received an advertising offer from the person. It builds your credentials, authority, and broadens your circle of friends.
- Fill your ad-space. Once in a while when you don’t have advertisers waiting to fill up the empty space-ad you have on your blog, contact someone that may be interested and give it out for free for a month or so. This is an act of goodness, plus it gives more exposure to your advertising services, and maybe some day that person you gave away an ad-space for free to will help you out some way or even pay for some ad-space in the future.
These are just some of the ways you can use to help other bloggers and get good Karma. It all usually comes back to help you out somehow or someway. As long as you find ways to share the love and don’t feel the need to be greedy, good things will always come your way.
Do you have any ideas for ways to share the love and still reap the benefits? Leave your thoughts in the comment section. Cheers!
