write a series for your readers

Writing a series is a little harder than what a lot of people think that it is but it can help you to build readers.
Here is how you do it.
Pick a topic that goes with your blog. For instance, you could go with the all too famous, blogging tips. This is popular because everyone wants to know how to blog better.
Now that you have a topic to write about, pick your title and write a post announcing it. If you want readers to come, do not charge for this. If you already have readers and want to make a little bit of money, you can charge a set price for the series but remember that you better have some content that won’t disappointed them. The cool part about this is that you can set up your blog to offer this paid series or you can simply offer it through email. Before you ask, I don’t know how they set this up on their blog as a paid series and I will need to do further research before I can answer this question.
When you announce it, let your readers know what they can do to get this series and what this series will include.
The key to writing a series is to have unique content. Here is an example of a series that was started by Garry Conn and it offers tips on successful blogging.
He had the right idea when he made this series and you should check it out to see what the series in tells and for tips on blogging the successful way.
Now that you have the basics down, keep notes about your series so that you can always go back and have a fresh mind when writing your series.

How to start a mobile blog


Here's how to start a mobile blog:
  1. 1. Send an MMS to go@blogger.com to create your mobile blog. The text and/or photo in your MMS will be uploaded to that blog right away. We'll message you back with the address, (so you can visit your new blog on the web) and a token (so you can claim your blog and access it from your account).
  2. 2. OPTIONAL - If you feel like changing anything on your new mobile blog or if you already have a Blogger account and want the posts to go to your existing blog, you can log in to go.blogger.com and enter the token we sent to your phone. You'll then have the option to claim your new mobile blog and merge it with your existing blog. Note to users whose blog address does not contain blogspot.com: Once you make the aforementioned switch, new mobile posts will be published to your chosen blog but mobile posts published prior to the switch will not be moved over automatically.
