My personal motto
Now that I'm officially a blogging addict, the time has come to publicize my pink Lugano site. If learning how to set up a blog has a milion facets to it, trying to promote your blog brings the world to your doorstep. Where DO I begin?
Here goes my list:
Lugano - my friends: check
Ticino - expat association: check
Switzerland - expat blogs: check
World - expat groups and blog hops: check
Having gone from a simple hotmail user five months ago, I now own accounts on Twitter, Stumble upon, glue (or is it getglue?), Yahoo, Picasa, Polyvore, Social Moms and I can hardly keep up with myself. How can I expect my readers to follow me? Then again, they might just stumble over me? ;)
My biggest highlight was when I hit the 10'000 pageview benchmark. "I can actually do this! I did it!"
Try googling Lugano blog, Lugano expat or Lugano kids. Guess what? My Lugano blog appears on the first page. This gives me a sensational satisfaction. Having given up a flourishing Sales&Marketing career so many years ago for my wonderful globetrotting life, the result of this 5 month adventure proves that I am still made of the same stuff and - wow - I have NOT lost my touch.
GO OVERSEAS kindly invited me to display their "Nominate This Blog" badge on my website. Substantive nominations from my readers will definitely help me stand out during their blog selection process they say.
So my dear readers, let's make this site a wee bit more interactive: Vote for my blog by clicking on the "GO overseas" logo on my blog: I promise I'll keep you updated on the success rate.
My mother always said: "You never know what comes around the corner."
Hey, I might be on the cover of Newsweek in a decade or two?!?
