Every single day I see someone comment here or RT one of my posts, that I commented on their blog or RTed one of their posts the day before.<br /><br />Commenting is a great way to 'get on the radar' with other bloggers, and they then LOOK for ways to 'thank' you by commenting on your blog, tweeting your posts, etc.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments, looks like you guys are gonna be killin' it this month!Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-19576772834875760102009-12-02T13:51:52.441-06:002009-12-02T13:51:52.441-06:00Great info to keep in mind - thanks for the sugges...Great info to keep in mind - thanks for the suggestions. The past few weeks have been the crazy weeks for me, but after this weekend, I actually get freed up a lot. I'm going to heed your suggestions, especially on the comment front - I've been slacking lately. <br /><br />To David's point, looking at 2010 provides a good basis for content. I'd also suggest that it's also a good idea to look back over the last 12 months to see where we can identify key insights. Our field changes so rapidly that there will be plenty to recap. It might prove useful to reflect on things that have shaped the social space this year. <br /><br />Thanks for the tips Mack!

I will be using the next month to ramp up a number of things around my blog.<br /><br />Another good idea is to seek out some new blogs to read. Add a little life to your reader and seek some different perspectives from the ones you've been reading all year.<br /><br />Also, start thinking about what the new year will bring. Can you make some interesting predictions around your industry/niche? Could make for some great blog content and you can plan your blog strategy based on changes that you can see coming.<br /><br />David<br />Community Manager, Scribnia.com<br />@ScribniaDavid Spinkshttp://www.scribnia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-37965909935080869232009-12-02T03:05:03.377-06:002009-12-02T03:05:03.377-06:00These are some really helpful tips which I will be...These are some really helpful tips which I will be trying out.
