If You Have a Blog...


Someone I greatly respect told me last fall that having a Facebook page is tenuous, because Facebook can change the algorithm and all of a sudden, it no longer shows up in someone's feed. So, I started a blog. I really like my blog; I like writing to my blog, even though it may take several hours to do all of the research to make it meaningful. I think I have a lot to say, and some of it is interesting. It's also the point of view of an older middle-class educated black woman, and not everyone hears that point of view, so it has value. With a full-time job, I can only write once a week, but I've been consistent.

I'd love to have a wider audience. I think I have 12 followers. I'm not trying to make money from it, I'm not going for tens of thousands of followers. But I'd love to make a name for myself. I think it would be fun.

If you have your own blog, I'd love to know how you get followers.

I'd also love some blog ideas.

Over the past 9 months, I've written about a wide variety of things in my blog:
- the March on Washington
- Black Superheroes
- How our values determine salaries
- Hip-hop turns 50
- Henrietta Lacks and Medical Research
- Midwest Conservatism
- Product Safety
- A Son in Prison
- Abortion
- Juneteenth
- Fatherhood
- Pride Month
- AI
- Gun Control
- Hook Ups
- Domestic Violence
- Native Americans
- Trump
- Marketing
- Feminism
- Hospice
- Good Stories
- Writing
- Spending $1 billion
- MLK Day
- Kwanzaa
I find ideas from TV, from the news, from my stories, from my life... and I LOVE writing. I love doing the research to make the blog powerful, factual, educational, enriching. But coming up with topics has been tough. So, ideas are welcome.

What, no how to scam SSD or get a link card?

Currently being in a waiting room at a professional office and bored, I read some of her blog entries. First off, she’s not a good writer. Her pieces are mostly all “woe is me” and “whitey keeping the black people down.” Also, she’s murdered several unborn children and she is a devoted worshipper of an idol. IOW, your typical primitive.

Bet she doesn't post mean tweets, though...

Is this another way of asking "How do I grift"?

[Drafe Hoblin]

Can you say 'borrrrrrrring' ? 

It seems more logical to go for a niche audience till the thing is breathing on its own.

just another annoying black woman, with a white girl name.

I'm surprised DU's PTBs would allow a member to self-promote their blog like that. Maybe her having nearly 5600 posts is relevant to being allowed to do so.

So, I started a blog.
 I really like my blog;
My blogs name is de shawana, it sounds very African.
My blogs pronouns are they/them and it
I like writing to my blog,
I think I have a lot to say, and none of it is interesting.
I am black with a chip on my shoulder because I’m better than everyone
