Fashion Beauty Friend Friday: How Do You Connect

I didn’t get around to participating in the last couple of Friend Friday posts but I am back in the saddle for this week’s questions, which center around the topic of “reader connectedness”

1. How important do you think reader connectedness is to the success of your blog?

Obviously a blogs readers have to feel some kind of connection with the blog or they probably wouldn’t continue to visit it.

So, developing a connection is paramount and really its the only reason why I blog in the first place.

I enjoy sharing bits and pieces of my world with others. I do so, hoping that something about me and my life will speak to something in theirs and either entertain them or encourage them in some way, which was my original “Mission Statement” for Curvatude


2. What do you do to draw readers in and create that writer-reader bond?

Honestly I don’t think that I really do anything other than just be true. I want the relationship between those who read my blog and myself to be organic.

I want them to visit because they like to and feel like they will find something interesting.

3. What is one way you could improve this connection?

Probably by blogging more and consistently. I do a lot and I take a lot of picture and video and all that but I share probably 50% here mainly because I don’t want blogging to feel like a drudgery. I don’t want it to be a hassle. So if I don’t feel like doing it, I don’t.

And I think that alone should show that when you come to Curvatude, you are reading something that I really wanted to share with you and not just content for contents sake.

4. Is there a blogger you think does a great job creating that writer-reader bond and why?

Yes, there are quite a few, but the one that I always refer to and think of is not a fashion or beauty blogger but actually a man.

Chris Brogan
to me has perfected the connection thing.

He is crazy popular and busy yet he still takes time to tweet and blog and share and respond.

I find that endearing and I assume others do also.


5. What do you do to cultivate new readers? How do you get them to your site in the first place?

I don’t really do much (bad blogger huh…oh well).

I would hope that people get to know me, say on twitter or even in person at one of the many events that I attend and develop a curiosity to learn more about me and check me out.

And that they will find that I am so irresistible, funny and cute and come back for more!

SMILE!
