Facebook/ Blogs/ Twitter/ Vlogs


Practically, Everyone is on Facebook. Almost everyone is blogging and tweeting, and many do have the patience to shoot videos, edit and vlog it.

The question is who is reading/ seeing all these? Everyone is busy doing it themselves.
  1. To be very hopeful, let’s say 3/4th of the people that I invite, would actually subscribe to all that I ever post and read every one of it diligently.
  2.  Most often, I click on the next blog just to be surprised. If I am on Youtube, I do look at its other suggestions. I am not on Facebook or Twitter and I thank god for not idling away more of my time on them.

So, I do stumble upon and read other blogs/vlogs. But, rarely have I remembered them and followed them, no matter how much pleased I was with them.

How do you get 'people' to read your posts? By ‘people’, I mean - People whom you don't know and people who would start liking you for your works.

If you are writing just about yourself/your family or about the other such general things in life, giving them your views and opinions on it, it might hardly interest people. Everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to talk. So, your posts will least likely be talked about.

Write about something that people want to read, something that interests them.
  • How-to articles
  • Product review articles.
  • Travel logs in detail. What did u do and what should you have rather done?
  • Promoting something nice that you came upon. (Free stuff, Sale events, Tricks and Tips to fool a system, etc…)
  • News. Brainstorms about a particular issue, your predictions of its impact and after-postings of them dissecting your predictions.
  • Funny pictures/ jokes/ articles

Well, most importantly – I asked myself a question - what would I love to read? My list would vary from yours. But, as I always believe, there are a whole lot of people in this world who are a lot like me. So, write for yourself and you are sure to find someone who loves what you are doing solely for the reason that, that is what they are doing too or that is what they wish to do.

And also, it all depends on the purpose of your posts. If your whole intention was to just keep in touch with your friends and family, then, I thank you for reading this through but I am sorry it does go beyond your objectives.

And what will I do with all my posts? 


I guess I will write about reading, writing and blogging for the moment.
