Ok, take a seat today I’m going to talk about Feeds and Blogger lists…….

sitting

First up, Feeds, now, some of you will be wanting just to blog for yourself and don’t care if others read it, however a lot of you want to be read/seen so you will want to publicise yourself, the easiest way to draw in the hits is to be on some feeds.  Most SL feeds have requirements to apply, usually a blog that’s been around for at least 3 months.  Look here for the various Second Life feeds.  Ok, now for potential controversy with Blogger lists……

Blogger lists…..

I have been blogging Second Life for 4 years, on here and on other blogs.  I am on a couple of blogger lists, and I have covered events in SL, however I still buy the bulk of what I blog.  Stores sometimes send some bloggers promotional stuff because it’s a useful advertising tool.  A Store isn’t going to drop their entire inventory on a brand new blog that isn’t on any feeds.

If you are under the impression that bloggers blog because ‘they get free stuff’ then you are mistaken, the vast majority of long term (a year or more) bloggers buy the majority of the stuff they wear.  If you think a designer is going to rain fatpacks over you and your week old blog with no hits you are going to be disappointed.  If you have been blogging for at least 3 months and consistently produce credited quality images and are on some feeds you can apply to be a blogger when it’s requested.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT scattergun stores with generic notecards of ‘I HAS A BLOG FATPACK ALL THE THINGS’ and then get the arsehole when all you hear is *crickets*

If you do want to be on a list, I suggest you try Blogging Second Life and SL Bloggers Support ‘designers looking for bloggers’  and if you are social media active, keep an eye on plurk/facebook/twitter/forums for info on people looking.
