\"\"I recently wrote about a LinkedIn traffic trick<\/a> that helped get more traffic from my LinkedIn profile<\/a> to The Juggling Writer<\/em> and my other sites.<\/p>\n

In the last paragraph of the entry, I mentioned that I answer questions on LinkedIn when I feel I can help somebody or add to the conversation.<\/p>\n

I recently answered a question asked by Denise Wakeman of buildabetterblog.com<\/a> about business blogging. Whether we like it or not, writing is a business, and I always look outside the industry to see what’s working for other industries and seeing if it applies to what I’m doing as a writer.<\/p>\n

Social Media Examiner<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today, Denise put together a great entry for Social Media Examiner<\/a> about the\u00a0The 5 Pillars of Business Blogging Success<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Part of my answer to Denise was used in the entry — so please head over and check it out.<\/p>\n

It Does<\/em> Take Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

My quote is very basic; it really does<\/em> take time to build a blog following.<\/p>\n

I know black hat SEO tricks I could use to increase my following, but I’m a very patient person. I’ve been writing for The Juggling Writer<\/em> for over a year and I’ve only recently seen an increase in traffic and replies.<\/p>\n

I make a living writing and editing technical documents from home, but it feels better than getting paid when somebody replies to something I wrote that helped them, or when a stranger lets me know they like my podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it’s a nice feeling knowing that I was able to answer a question posted on LinkedIn that helped somebody write a great entry about business blogging success that we writers can learn from.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Denise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
