In a world where bloggers are everywhere, how can you stand out? How can an influencer reach new people?
I went to an @midnight taping a couple years ago in Los Angeles & wrote about my experience. I never knew what an impact it would have on my blog.
Every day people search for @midnight related content, which leads them directly to my blog. Some of those people come to be regular readers. If you're wondering how to be a local influencer & how to get invited to events as a blogger, you've come to the right place. These are my insider tips to moving up that blogging ladder.

Great advices especially for me as a new blogger. I live in Denmark unfortunately but I was thinking that maybe it's time for me to get out there with my blog. Would you recommend I have some business cards with me?

These are all great tips and I like how you focused the post about how to grow your blog locally because a lot of bloggers skip this step and try to gain an international base first.

ReplyDeleteThese are great tips and points. I love eventbrite. There are so many events on there, and it really was fun finding fun activities and events when I first moved to LA. Reaching out and being proactive is really key in getting invites.

I love this. I'm from Boston but they don't have a huge parent niche. It's almost like they're secret. I'm in year two. I'm starting to blend and finally get included and invited to other events in this niche etc.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party but this post is right on time for me. I'm moving to a new city and would love to gain a new local readership and partner with new businesses. It is like starting over in a way. New contacts, new partnerships etc. Good reminders here!
ReplyDeleteCarmen, thank you so much for this such an informative and very helpful post! Growing your blog locally first is a great advice for newbies like me! I`m building my personal blog right now and I`m following this amazing steps from https://fortunelords.com/start-a-blog/ and so far it`s been so easy!
