The Next Big Thing - Blog Hop. Anyone interested?

KatieSnowPendergrass · Oct 10, 2012

Hello All,

So I just created a brand new blog (decided I needed a change since everything in my life had, and scraped the old one) and I was tagged for The Next Big Thing Blog Hop. Pretty much it's an interview about your MS. I'm looking for readership - people I can follow and who I can follow back (and I always follow back). Interested in being part of The Next Big Thing, follow me and I'll tag you for it when I post next (mentioned in twitter, facebook, and of course, my blog =} ). I know - so shameless. But I really am looking for readership and to connect with others. Hope to get to read some awesome blogs soon!

Katie

Can't say I've done something like that, so I would need direction, but why not?

KatieSnowPendergrass · Oct 12, 2012

Thanks =). You've been tagged. Check out my blog for the details. Also, I can't seem to find where you subscribe to your blog -??.

Sounds fun! Joined.

KatieSnowPendergrass · Oct 12, 2012

Following and tagging! Thanks =).

I'm following now, too.

In reality, blogs generate very few direct sales from the average reader. Why? They don't search blogs and those that do, do so of their favorite authors, or they are looking for something specific, a speciality they can not find anywhere else.

How many blogs in a day can a person read, following link to link?

I might also warn bloggers that linking or allowing unknown persons to link to your blog can lead to all kinds of online mischief. Its the latest way of hacking websites, follow the links...

Following and the post is up - check it out. ~KS

I participated in the Next Big Thing Blog Hop last week. It was a lot of fun--of course it was my first blog hop, so that probably made it more so. I just took a look at your blog--I LOVE the design. Very cool.

Ah, I just did this, too, last Wednesday. Mine is er, modified and illustrated.

I am glad you made this post, because even though we didn't tag each other, at least now I can go read the posts from the rest of you!

Tepelus · Oct 17, 2012

I haven't done mine yet. I'm a bad girl.

plunderpuss · Oct 17, 2012

I noticed! Leave me a comment/e-mail when you do, so I can go see it. ^__^

Tepelus · Nov 13, 2012

Finally got around to it...lol!

Hi guys. I've just been tagged, but I have no one to tag back because my blog's only one month old so I didn't have time to make many friends yet. Anyone interested?

Amanda R. · Jan 31, 2013

I guess I can do it, but I don't know what a blog hop actually is lol. My blog is in my sig.

That'd be great, Amanda. The author who tagged me tagged two other people, but I have no idea if that's the rule or not. I've seen others tagging only one person so i decided to do the same cause I don't have many friends and those I have don't have blogs yet. Basically you answer ten question about a story you wrote. It can be published or still in the WIP status, it can be a novel, a short story, anything. Then you have to point to another fellow writer to answer those ten questions as well. It's a blog hop because it basically involves more writers, it hops from blog to blog, just like the name says.

I did this last year, it is an interesting meme... http://lurkingmusings.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/the-next-big-thing/

I only had four writerly friends who hadn't already done it so there is a spare slot there if anyone wants to take it... just link back to me to let me know you have done it and I will link you too...

Sounds fun. Link me your blog Shayla so I can link back to you.

shayla.mist · Feb 1, 2013

Awesome. my blog's http://shaylamist.blogspot.com I'll post my blog hop this coming Monday or the following week. Hopefully I can find more people to tag by then

I'll let you know as soon as I post it, anyway. thanks, Amanda

Amanda R. · Feb 4, 2013

Aretus, are you wanting me to tag back to you? Or is there anyone else who would like to join in? I don't have any other writing friends with a book in progress to tag. I am doing this today, but I'll wait to publish until I have another blog to link forward to.

TMCan · Feb 4, 2013

I am a new blog, so I don't have anyone that subscribes to me yet. And I'm not published, but I have a WIP. If you have no one else, I can participate.

Oh, sounds great, especially since you have an erotica wip, I see.. It would suit my writing genre perfectly

Your blog looks really cute.
Here's the link to my blog post. I'll tag you right now

TMCan · Feb 5, 2013

My post will be on Friday. Thank you for letting me participate.

Amanda R. · Feb 5, 2013

OK, got mine up and I tagged TMCan to be next. http://amandarobertswriter.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-next-big-thing-blog-hop-discussion.html

Amanda, you should insert a followers widget and a sharing widget too so people can share your post easier.
