5 Ways to Compliment a Blogger

Blogging is certainly popular and a fun way to share a passion you may have with your friends and the public if you so choose. I have been dabbling with blogging off and on now for about 5 years. A blog is very much a lot of work and very time consuming for the blogger at heart. But, we probably all know someone that is blogging and we need to support them and encourage them. So, here are 5 ways you can compliment a blogger.

1. Read it. Take a few minutes when you see a new post from a friend blogging and take the time to actually read what they have to say. When I see blog posts pop up on Facebook or wherever, I always stop and read it. The goal of a blog is to have readers.

2. Subscribe to it. Usually, there is a place on the blog to subscribe so that when new posts come out, you get a notification. You don't need to subscribe to EVERY blog, just the ones you find that peak your interest and you want to hear more from.

3. Make a comment on it. Comment on the blog, not the source it came to you on like Facebook.  If you see a place to comment at the bottom of their post, that means they want your comments. Say something positive and something that other readers would like to hear. Compliment their post, state your opinion, or share your insight with them.

4. Share it. One of the hardest challenges for a blogger is to get the word out they have a blog. If you like the content then tell your friends. Share their post with others or email a link to he blogs you like.

5. Like it. Two of the most common places I see blog posts are on Facebook and Google +. On both of those you can click like on Facebook and click +1 on Google + to share it with others.

There, make blogging more fun for the blogger and the readers and your friends. Man there is some really great articles out there and by not taking the time to read one, you may miss out. Enjoy!
