Today’s main task is short and sweet, which is a good thing considering I was pretty much disconnected all weekend! I’m now in Austin, Texas visiting family. I thought I’d have all the time in the world to catch up on blogging, but without the usual toys and things to distract my girls, that hasn’t been the case…
Day 5: Email a blog reader
Easy enough, eh? Try to pick someone new, that you don’t recognize, and respond to their comment or simply thank them for stopping by your blog. Do this everyday, and you’ll build up loyal readers one by one.
Today’s homework?
- Email a blog reader. To delve a little deeper into this, read about the task at ProBlogger.
- Take half an hour to look through your email inbox. Do you have a good system in place? As a suggestion, read about one-touch email management at Resourceful Mommy. Look at your inbox and delete emails, reply to important ones, and file those that you’d like to save. Delete anything in your sent folder that’s more than three months old. I’ve found that creating filters that automatically put certain emails in their appropriate folders really helps weed out those that aren’t urgent, like newsletters.
If you’d like to participate, leave me a comment so we can visit your blog and see how you’re doing! This is more of a ‘behind the scenes’ type of task, but if you write about it, you can also link up specific blog posts relating to today’s challenge below.
I try to e-mail everyone who comments! YAY I feel like I am on the right track..atleast today!

You are definitely on the right track!
I do respond to any emails and commennts, but even with my Facebook Fan number rising, I’m not getting much feedback, any suggestions?
.-= Sharon´s last blog ..Free Gift From Edible Arrangements =-.
I’ve noticed that people tend to visit frugal blogs more for information than interaction, know what I mean? I get the same with my review posts. I definitely get hits on them, but very rarely comments. Posing a question at the end of each post is a way to encourage a reader to comment. Maybe you could try that?
A day late, but I finished Day 5 🙂
