I am very concerned about the issue for a long time, what really gives a reading other people's blogs? Perhaps more useful to focus on running your own blog and this is going to perfection?
The unequivocal answer is no. Let's try to understand.
So, the possible benefits from reading
blogs
- Ideas: to create projects, undertaking business in your own blog posts, etc. In principle, the idea may be born a huge amount - the only question is whether they are to you, and whether they are worth to spend your time on them?
- Tying Me with experts in the right niche. To do this, however, it is also necessary to comment on blogs, not just read them. This is useful in a variety of meanings.
- Information about new projects / services. Perhaps there are things from other sources, you can not learn.
- Ideas for blog tweeter (actually not just an idea, and immediately ready reference) + ideas for writing a post on your own blog
- Rest of current affairs. Sometimes you get tired of the turnover, and you just want to browse the tape gugl.ridere blog.
But there are obvious disadvantages:
- a waste of time (yes, often in a lot of interesting blogs written - you can immerse yourself to a few hours)
- littering brain (because you can overload the information itself and stop working properly in your theme
A few of my tips for optimizing reading other people's blogs:
- Do it often. For example, 1-2 times a week. So less time is guaranteed to spend, rather than go into the reader several times a day.
- Unsubscribe from uninteresting blogs. Doing so is not easy: go to the reader after a week (or two weeks) break and look closely at each of the blog posts in your list of subscriptions. 1-2 weeks from blogs usually meets several positions - if this set of posts you absolutely do not like it, feel free to unsubscribe.
- Use tweeter . The most interesting sure there is announced (or almost all) - you know, without looking at your reader.
- Take care of business. When interested in something, then read blogs have neither the time nor the sense
