I just thought of another list, specifically for South African blogs. (I thought of this after doing a little research on the most popular blogs in our classy country.)
- Write about one thing – as long as that one thing is about chicks, booze, nightclubs, cars and rugby.
- Use lists, but make sure they are only about who are the hottest chicks right now.
- Be topical… write posts about whatever you thought about this morning when you woke up from the hangover inducing 15hrs of sleep after last night’s party.
- Break news – about hot chicks.
- Share your expertise generously so people recognize it and depend on you, and then insult everyone else who also happens to write a blog in South Africa.
- Don’t interrupt your writing with a lot of links – unless those links are to FHM, Stuff or the Playboy websites.
- Edit yourself. Ruhtlesly.
- Promote yourself and your business or your books or your projects shamelessly.
- Be patient – it will take around 2 months for FHM magazine to feature your blog to their 100,000 + readers.
