Become a blogstar

Over at Seth’s Blog there’s a list of over fifty insights into “how to get traffic for your blog“. To list a few:

• Use lists.
• Be topical… write posts that need to be read right now.
• Learn enough to become the expert in your field.
• Share your expertise generously so people recognize it and depend on you.
• Write short, pithy posts.
• Write long, definitive posts.
• Encourage your readers to subscribe by RSS.
• Start at the beginning and take your readers through a months-long education.
• Assume that every day is the beginning, because you always have new readers.
• Highlight your best posts on your Squidoo lens.
• Write about blogging.
• Edit yourself. Ruthlessly.
• Don’t be boring.
• Write stuff that people want to read and share.

And many many more. I really like “assume that every day is the beginning”, as new-agey as it sounds. But whew, I guess I have my work cut out for me.
