A tip for new bloggers: Make some noise!

If you are just getting started in blogging (like me) and want to start getting noticed, here is a tip. MAKE SOME NOISE!

This site is brand new. I can count the number of visitors I get on one hand. Until today.

I posted a list of 5 must listen podcasts for entrepreneurs. I know people generally enjoy lists like this, so I submitted it to Digg and a business forum I follow on joelonsoftware.com.

Then I thought, Hey, I bet the guys who do these podcasts would like to know that I enjoy their shows. So I emailed them telling them as much.

Within ten minutes I got an email back from the Chief Community Officer at Startup Nation (one of the podcasts on my list) asking if I would like to be on their nationally syndicated radio show!

Then I got an email from Jay at Internet Business Mastery (another podcast on my list). I thought he would appreciate hearing about the response I got from Startup Nation and he replied with some savvy advice.

...Make noise and people will listen.

That's the lesson I learned today. I intend to keep making noise and hopefully good things will happen.

As a bonus, my traffic for today will require me to count visitors on my fingers and toes!

UPDATE: I'm going to be on Startup Nation radio next weekend (March 18-19th).
