I think it could be a good special blogging day but it might be hard to center the whole blog around it.

Sonia – I would not mention any statistics unless your blog is huge. I would just mention the address. YOu never know what they think is good or bad. Everyone thinks differently.

Does cyber sense come with a superhero cape?

A specific question:
In your query letter to an editor, how important is it to mention the “stickiness” factor of your blog. Say people spend 2.35 minutes on average, is that worth mentioning? Also if you only have 2,400 unique visitors, is that worth mentioning or is that considered too low, and you’re better off giving the page views which are higher, in my case 7,500/month.
Thanks to Shelli and Angela for helping all of us, as usual.

I like the point about making my blog interesting to everyone, not just writers. I really need to think more about this!

You can’t build a platform overnight. Great tips!

Like so many others, I struggle with reaching my actual audience. Got to get out there and find those teens.

I’ve been working on platform building over a year now and I just realized I’m one of the ones who’s all about writing on my blog and book reviewing, when I need to learn more about marketing to my target audience (teens). So, I’m off to do so. Thanks!!
