to day 26 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. Today, I want to challenge you to help another blogger achieve their goals in some way, to improve another person’s blog. Now, this might sound a little counterintuitive. You might ask, isn’t this 31 days about improving my blog? Well, yes, it is, but one of the ways you can do this is to be outward-focused in your own blogging. I found over the years that sometimes when I focus on helping someone else in my blogging or other areas of my life that it comes back to help me in different ways. Some people might call it karma. I think it’s just being a good human being in many ways Country Email List t’s also really satisfying to do and might give you a little bit of burst of energy to see someone else reach their goals in some way.

Another thing you might want to do if another blogger is struggling for content at the moment, maybe you want to offer to write a high-quality guest post for their readers. I know this has helped me over the years when I’ve gone on holiday, and I’ve announced I’m going away. Things are going to be a little sparse around here.

So, maybe offer to create some content. Maybe it’s about sending them some traffic. You might want to write a post about another blogger. I’ve seen bloggers do this numerous times over the years. They recommend a blog that they really love and they give some reasons why their readers should read it, just purely self-promotion of this other blogger. You could do the same thing on social media as well. I know in some of the blogs that I’ve interacted with over the years that it can really help
