As a blogger, I maintain several blogs and websites such as World of Fail and Review Chicago. In addition to these websites, I guest post on numerous blogs, and currently write content for six other blogs. Man Vs Blog is my outlet for discussing things of interest, including tips on blogging and social media.

As a musician, I have toured the country in the rock band The Translation. Before The Translation, I was in another successful band called Saraphine. I spent 8 years honing my skill as a songwriter, and learned a great deal in grassroots marketing. I am currently recording my solo debut record.

Using Twitter to Promote a Blog

I have started playing around with Twitter. Basically, it is a microblog/social networking site allowing people to follow you, similar in my opinion to the way you would follow a bloggers RSS feed. I have been hearing the twitter named dropped for sometime now but hopped on the bandwaggon after seeing several of my friends using it in conjunction to their Facebook accounts.

I haven’t quite figured out how I could use it to my benefit blogging, but it is pretty neat to follow my friends daily rantings without having to find them on Myspace and Facebook.

So, like any good blogger, I googled it to find out what all the hub-bub was.

I found this handy dandy article at, you guessed it, ProBlogger.

Seems like another potential promotional tool for those in the niche blogging realm. I am going to spend some time on it the next few weeks and I will report back on my findings.
