Book Blogger Hop #13 & Follow Friday #7

Edit Post

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy for Books whilst Follow Friday is hosted by ParaJunkee’s View. ‘The Hop’ and ‘Follow Friday’ are a great way to find other people who love to blog about books just like me! So if you’re interested in participating why not check out both Crazy for Books and ParaJunkee’s View for more information.
Jennifer also asks us hopper’s to answer a new question each week, so today’s question for the Hop is (*drum roll please*):
How do you spread the word about your blog?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...)
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...)
I do a whole lot of different things, I’m a member of Book Blogs which is a community of book bloggers where we discuss what we’re doing on our blogs, they also give some really helpful blogging tips. I’ve also added my blog to the YA Book Blog Directory where people go to find YA book blogs and the Australian Book Blogger Directory. I’m seriously considering starting up a twitter account, a lot of blogs and authors seem to be using it but I’m still not 100% sure just yet, what do you guys think?
Whilst I have found these to be good at spreading the word about my blog I think just interacting with other members in the blogging community is the most important so I do try to comment on lots of different blogs around. I like to receive comments so I’m sure everyone else does but I never leave my web address in the comment section for some reason I personally don’t feel comfortable doing that but I don’t mind when people do that on my blog though. I was also really lucky to get my blog onto the ‘blogs we like’ section under Penguin Australia’s YA book site ‘Behind the Lines’ as I won an ARC they were giving away, I simply sent them an email asking if it was okay if I could put a review for the book up on my site, I then received an email back asking me if they could put my blog on their website and asked if I would be willing to review some books for them. So I guess what I’m saying is there a whole lot of different ways you can spread the word about your blog some more standard than others but I really believe if you have a blog that people like other people will spread the word about your blog for you, word of mouth is very powerful!

About Me
- Romy @ Lost.in.Stories
- Greetings fellow blog readers, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. Now you may be wondering who is lost.in.stories? Well lost.in.stories is also known as Romy, a 23 year old graduate student from Australia who loves to read. I read (maybe devour would be a more appropriate word) largely young adult novels, with a particular love of fantasy and paranormal novels, however I am also a sucker for a good romance.

Btw,
I think I got onto the BTL list because I kept on commenting them. :P

You definitely should get a twitter! Then again, I'm a HORRID social networker and feel like I sound too transparent when I try to network via tweets.
I also agree that the most awesome way is to visit other bloggers and comment on their posts. I consider it more as making friends, rather than networking though. I get so excited when I see "regulars" on my blog. I just want to gush at them and hug them. <3
My hop :3

And that's it, I've gone and joined Book Blogs... I'd never even heard of it before!! But now I've seen it on several answers to this question.
As for leaving a link, I always do... but that's because I know on my site, it's easier for me if people leave them... otherwise I have to go hunt them down... so I leave one to simplify things for people.
Stop by and check out my Book Blogger Hop, Follow Friday and Giveaway!

I have a Twitter account and know quite a few people who use it for the blogging, but I never have the time for it so I basically use it just as a way for people to follow the blog (like RSS, but Twitter-ised). It really is quite addictive and time consuming so I think it's one of those things you have to decide you have the time for and are going to really use it. I think going mobile with it might be very helpful too.
I also don't feel comfortable leaving my link in my comment when visiting someone's blog. I guess it all depends on personal taste.
I love Behind The Lines, but haven't been able to check it in so long. Thanks for reminding me to go back there.
Have a hopping great weekend and you've got yourself a new follower.
