I am so excited to be a part of the Grow Your Blog Party this week. I have joined this party many times and made some wonderful new freinds! Julie from This Gal Cooks and Paula from Call me PMc are great hosts and a couple of my favorite bloggers! I hope you have fun joining me and meeting new friends!
What is the Grow Your Blog Hop all about? NETWORKING! Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership. Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog. How do you network? Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog.
THIS WEEK’S HOSTS & CO-HOSTS
WHEN YOU LINK UP TO THIS PARTY:
- Follow your hosts and co-hosts
- Visit and follow other bloggers
- Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, Facebook, Bloglovin, etc)
- Invite them to visit your blog (be sure to leave your blog web address – too many times have i seen bloggers comment and request a visit to their blog without leaving their blog web address)
- Communicate with them about what you like on their blog. Let them know you are interested in their blog. USE THEIR NAME! A simple “I’m so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me.” just isn’t going to interest someone into visiting your blog. Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.
- Grab a button and promote the party (on This Gal Cooks blog, the button is located in the Navigation Tab under “Link Parties” Just click on link parties, not the items in the dropdown)

Thanks for hosting and looking forward to connecting! I will be on later during nap time to mingle! My cat jumped on the computer and pressed enter too quick so I didn’t get a picture with mine. Could you add any food picture from my site or just delete my entry and I can do it again? Sorry for being a pest…I blame the cat
LOL
