Ms Ileane Smith Takes Engagement To Blog Interviewing

Ms Ileane is one of the top female bloggers that have rocked the blogosphere. I have had the privilege of working with her on her blog which gave me an insight of what blog engagement was all about. She values comments as herself and take her time to reply to each an every one of them.

Today, Ms Ileane has taken blog engagement to something more thrilling. She steps out of her comfort zone to Increase Engagement and Build Relationships with Blog Interviews.

Here is what she said in her post:

The reason we all enjoy blog interviews so much is because they are a great example of those successful collaborations I’m so in favor of, and the “engagement” that we all seek to have on our blogs is pretty much built in by nature.

Ms Ileane Offers Some Tips for Great Blog Interviews

Some advice for those of you who are going to be interviewed:

1. Obtain a list of the questions or topics ahead of time
2. Add the interviewer to your list of contacts on Skype, Twitter, Google+ and other networks
3. Make a few notes of key points and people that you want to mention
4. Keep your voice even, and remember to be natural
5. Be sure to smile – so that your voice sounds energetic and upbeat

Engagement is the new Black.

50 Respected Bloggers Gave Me WRONG Advice On Twitter Marketing. Oops!

I will probably get beaten real hard for this headline, but at least it should effectively steal your attention (...you will thank me for this very soon). And if you think that this is going to be

My contribution to this group post:

6. Ileane Smith of basicblogtips.com

Most of traffic that comes to my blog from Twitter is the result of my blogging friends sharing my content.

I’m really thankful for all of the relationships that I have built with other bloggers over the years. And I really appreciate that some people have added my blog’s RSS feed into tools like Twitterfeed, Dlvr.it or Autoshare on Triberr.

It really boils down to the fact that they feel confident that I only publish quality content on my blog. It’s key for bloggers to connect with one another and build that trust factor.

I know people like quick results but that kind of trust only comes with time and consistency. You also have to be a giver and I always try to give just as much if not more than I receive.

Thanks for asking the question Tim, because Twitter is one of my top traffic sources and I think it’s important that new bloggers understand what it takes.

Ileane Smith's curator insight, September 29, 2013 5:11 AM

Brian, I am just absolutely thrilled that you have started listening to podcasts now. And I was just stunned to see that my podcast is in your list of top five favorites.

You're so right that listening to podcasts makes you a better blogger and email marketer. Once you find a great podcast or two, you'll learn a lot more than just reading text all the time. The message tends to stick better and it's more easier to relate to.

When you get a chance, take a look at the post that I will leave in my CommentLuv link if you want to find out how I listen to podcasts on Android.

Have a great Sunday Brian!

Top 10 Bloggers To Watch In 2013

From www.guideandnews.com

2012 was a great blogging year for me and I've been learning a lot from different blogs and bloggers...

2. Ileane Smith:

Ileane Smith is someone I’ve been watching for 6 or so months now and I learned a lot from her about blogging and social media..

She has a popular blog, but focuses on networking and relationship building more rather than just being a blogger and she built the majority of her following through social media.

She started BasicBlogTips.com in 2011 and quickly built a solid reputation for producing quality content and building relationships with her followers.

I’ve done several guest posts at her blog which you can read here.

I can’t wait to see her shining in the coming year.
