TechThinker Facebook Fan Page

March 20, 2010 By 1 Comment

I have been using Twitter as the primary social media platform to promote my blog. Awhile ago I wrote a post titled 5 Social Media Tips and in that post I indicated the importance of using more than one social media network to promote your website. It is important not to put all of our social media efforts into a single platform because no one is sure which network is going to be the dominant player in the future. As stated in my post, do not put all of your eggs into one basket.

It looks like I was not following my own advice! So far most of my social media efforts have gone into Twitter and it is high time that I get into Facebook as well.

I am happy to let you know that my Facebook fan page is up and running. I hope this fan page will allow me to communicate with my followers and peers on a more personal way.

As you may be aware you need at least 25 members in your face book fan page to qualify for a custom URL (earlier this number was 100 but now Facebook has reduced it to 25). Right now I have only 15 followers and by getting 10 more followers, I will be able to secure my custom URL.If you are a regular reader of TechThinker, please join my fan page.

If you do not know how to secure a custom URL (also know as vanity URL) for your own fan page, you can read this informative article at TechHamlet.com.

You may have also noticed that TechThinker.com now has a new logo and tagline. I’ll write about these changes and my recent efforts in rebranding this blog in another post.

See you on Facebook. Thank You!

Percentage of Posts by Category at TechThinker.com

Today, I did a reorganization of the categories in my blog. I had too many categories therefore it was time to reduce them and focus on the core topics that I want to concentrate. As I continue blogging, I am getting a much clearer picture on the direction I want to take this blog. Reorganizing the categories is my first initiative to make sure my blog stays on track with its goals and objectives. The next time when I have an idea for a post I will be checking to see whether that post will fall under any of these categories. If the post doesn’t qualify for a category, I will not be writing that post. This will make sure that I stay super focused on message and content that I am trying to promote in this blog. The following pie chart shows the percentage of posts by category at TechThinker.com. My next task is to rewrite the About Page of this blog.

Hi There! This is Aaron from TechThinker.

I am running a little competition where you can submit the Tagline of your blog. I am a big fan of Taglines because they can be used as an elevator pitch for your blog. A good tagline can describe your blog’s purpose to a new reader in 30 seconds or less!

To take part in this competition you have to submit your blog’s tagline in the comments section. The readers of this blog (including you) will vote their choices. Once we have reached 101 tagline submissions, I will pick the 20 best taglines (based on the votes). I will also pick 10 of my favorites.

All 30 taglines will be published in this post with a link to your website. This is my way of rewarding you and thanking you for your efforts.

Happy New Year

First of all I would like to wish my readers a very happy, prosperous and peaceful new year. I am happy to let you know that I have decided to revive my blog under the new domain name “TechThinker.com”.

This blog was started in early 2008 as “webspear.com” with the objective of providing tips and techniques to develop a successful web presence. The blog started off really well but all of a sudden I decided that I wanted to cover more topics and moved away from a niche blog to a non-niche blog.

My second blog was called “nextcovery.com”. In this blog I decided to write on anything that interested me! But as timed passed I realized I have made a big mistake by moving away from a niche blog to a non-niche blog. I am not saying that non-niche blogs are not successful. There are many people who have very popular non-niche blogs. Personally I found my self lost with a non-niche blog. I did not have a sense of direction. I didn’t know what my readers wanted. I didn’t even know who were my readers! As a result I lost interest with this blog.

As new year’s resolution I’ve decided to revive my old blog under a brand new domain name “TechThinker.com”. The reason I went with new domain name is to get rid of any emotional attachment that I had with my old blog. But, I am retaining almost all the articles that I wrote in my previous blogs. As per Mr Problogger’s advice I want to build upon what I already have and know, rather that trying to re-do every thing from scratch.

Did you revive your blog in the recent past? How did you do it? Did you keep the same name? or Did you start from scratch? Please share your comments.
