MaryAnne of MamaSmiles and I are counting down our Top 5 Posts of 2014 together. If you are new to blogging and wonder how to get a post to go viral, I would say that it’s an unpredictable business.
I would suggest — and I hope MaryAnne would agree with me — to write each post as if it will be the time someone is reading your blog … because, it very well might be! Also, write for yourself not for a phantom reader that you hope to attract. Even if you answer one reader’s question, chances are many others are wondering the same thing or struggling with the same issue you might be having at home with your kids.
Bloggers out there — can you please share advice on writing a popular post? Thank you!
Summer Reading Lists for Middle School Kids is my #2 post for 2014 with 20,477 views.
I guess parents struggle to keep their middle school kids reading too! I know that I am always searching for books for my tween and teen even though they have complete veto rights.
MamaSmiles #2 Post of 2014 is Fun Science for Kids: Candy Experiments.
I can totally see why MaryAnne’s candy science would be a big hit with her kids and her readers. She gets my vote as best mom ever. My kids would vote for her too!
