Review a blog

7 # Review a Blog...or two...

Its often said that the only way you can improve is to keep practicing, keep learning and go and check out what others are doing, model excellent behaviour or techniques and.. keep practicing.. etc etc.

Its easy to fall in love with your own blog - the layout, the widgets, the look and feel of it. But is it really advertising you in the best light?

This weeks review is to go and look at a handful of random blogs and see what others have done with them. This is not reviewing the content, it is to look at the overall package, the attractiveness, the user friendliness of it.

There are a number of bloggers who have made a business of reviewing others blogs - doing a little write up on their blog and promoting others work. One such lass is Aya... and she makes a good living from this.... check her out

I have also seen this website on a few bloggers sites http://payperpost.com - where it seems you can be paid ($5- $10) for writing a short (50 words) review on other peoples blogs and sites. I haven't investigated it yet - so if anyone uses it currently - or knows about it - please do leave a comment.

YOUR ROLE:
Three or four sentences on each blog you review along with their links with a maximum of 5 blogs reviewed. The audience is other bloggers with the outcome in demonstrating good elements and ones that might not work so well.

Remember to use blogging courtesy - and leave a comment on their site.

Who knows, you may find a co-writer to work on a project together or inspiration to change or modify yours.
