I am no blogging expert. I am learning as I’m going. Some things I fuck up, somethings I pick up. Most things I just wing it. Either way here 1 thing I’ve learnt as a new book blogger part 12;
I am not a big fan of doing posts that aren’t reviews. I don’t know why maybe I am just weird. For February I pooped out a post every single day. Which is just nuts. I won’t keep up with this later down the road, I am now working two jobs. This blog is nearly my third job and I plan on writing more this year. But while I can I will try and do as many reviews as possible to try and keep up with my request lists. Right onto my point.
1 Thing I’ve Learnt As A Book Blogger gets more views than any other posts I make. When I do an award post, I get more views/likes vs a review. Same goes for when I do a Tag post. (Yes I did one way back, need to do more) Reviews get limited likes/views people chances are 90% of people haven’t even heard of the Author or book and have no clue what to say. Me doing other posts gives other bloggers a chance to connect to me as a person and gives people a chance to say something. Whether it from that I suck or they love cheese. (Nasty people)
So if you are trying to build more stats/likes/comments/views or just to connect to people on a different level. You need to do other posts than reviews. You don’t have too, that is completely up too you.
I know I said I would do more Tattoo posts, I will most likely slot them in after a review on a Friday. Running out of day slots lol.
21 Books in February as of 26th. I am fucking crazy.

I love both reading and writing tags personally because not only can i interact with the blogger more but i get to know them and their likes better.

Very true.

I agree. I tried to do 5 posts a week and burnt out in less than a month. Have reduced it to three and am feeling a bit better.
The same happened with me as I also noticed that the award post received the most views and engagement, is there a way to make that a recurrent feature? Have one a week? Or would that be overkill?

Depends if you get an award every week lol

I think we all just like chiming in with an opinion (harder to do on books you haven’t read) 😉 …but I’m with you. I prefer writing reviews, but they get less traffic than every other post I do!

Exactly.

I have not done a tag yet, and i’m kind of reluctant, cuz i don’t feel creative enough when it comes to those questions… and i also prefer writing reviews or lists 😀

I have a couple reviews that rank on the first page of google, and those trickle in traffic every once in a while. But nobody really engages on those posts, maybe a like here or there. The best posts I found are engaging posts with multiple book recommendations, or book related discussion topics. I like reading reviews of others as well, but you are right, what do I say? Nice review? I figure that’s what the like button is for!

Yeah I feel like I am repeating myself everytime I go nice review.

Agreed. When I started blogging I thought I was going to do almost only reviews…. hasn’t quite worked out that way. The other posts definitely get more interaction and they work well for building relationships with other bloggers. And the page are fun.

I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve been blogging for 5 years and had 3 blogs (all at different times) but I struggled because I wanted to write about other things too and it just didn’t fit with my book reviews only blogs. I took a two year break and launched A Quaintrelle In The City last year. It’s made such a difference. This is a lifestyle blog (though I don’t talk about makeup or fashion) where I talk about books, travel, and writing.

Absolutely agree. I started my blog as a place to review books, but my vacation posts, pet posts and tags get more views and likes than reviews. Weird.
