It’s DAY 2 of my first blog event: the 7 Day Mini Blog Challenge Party! Today’s topic for bloggers participating is “Write a Letter to Your Readers: How to Use My Blog (Optional Giveaway)”. Bloggers just joining the party, link up for the challenge here.
One fabulous perk of reading blogs are all the fun giveaways! Who doesn’t like free stuff? They are easy to enter and a fun way for bloggers to give back to their readers. I’m excited to officially host my first one today.
CONNECTIONS
Most importantly I would love for you to subscribe via email to make sure you get each post directly in your inbox. This way, you will never miss out on all the fun that’s going on over here. You do have to confirm the email subscription, that’s it!
Bloggers please add me to your readers or follow here on bloglovin! Readers who follow lots of blogs, if you weren’t aware, you can make a bloglovin account as well.
I do have an active Facebook fan page, twitter, and sometimes post cool pictures on Instagram.
Pin away from my Pinterest if you choose.
COME AND TALK TO ME
Now that you are getting all of my post and engaged on social networks, the next biggest thing on a blog is interaction. This is a place for like-minded people to engage in whatever you like.
It’s very easy to do.
I know it seems like a lot, but the good new is: usually, once you do it once, your little smart device will save the information. That means when you come back, you can just comment. I love chatting with readers and you can see that by clicking on any post of mine.
SHARING IS CARING
So, you made it over and commented; now you want to share with your network.
If you read something that really speaks to you on this blog; tweet it, share it on Facebook , Google +1 it, or like it on FB. All of these things help us get more exposure to your friends and family. When we get more exposure, we get more opportunities to improve the blog for you!
For today’s giveaway, you get to practice sharing 😉 !
KEEP READING
If you are a new reader to PFL, chances are you will come across something else you would like to check out. Be on the watch for these 3 things!
- In each post, I usually link to an older post! For instance, one of my favorite posts is A Girl’s Weekend & A Crouching Tiger Story! <<<<Click on it 😉 !
- Related posts are always featured at the end of the post.
- Popular post in the last few days are over in the right sidebar, check out what the rest of the community is reading!
GRAVATARS
Do you want me to see your pretty little face when you comment? It’s very easy to set up a gravatar at this site. CLICK HERE! It takes all of a couple minutes, then your face will show up all around the Internet whenever you use that email to leave a comment.
SUGGESTIONS AND FEATURES
Do you want your weight loss, fitness, financial story featured? Email me @ RxFitnessLady(at)gmail(dot)com. I’d love to have you!
I also welcome your suggestions for the blog & you can complete this survey from a few weeks ago as well. I’m still checking in on it through out this month.
PFL LOYALTY REWARDS
Finally, I’m happy to announce my new loyalty program. It’s very simple! I love that when I’m loyal to local businesses, I usually get something free after so many visits.
Here at PFL, I’ve installed the Top Commentators Widget in my right sidebar! At the end of the month, the top 5 people engaging on PFL will either receive a small token from me or 1 randomly chosen top commenter will receive a little nicer token. How fun is that. I’ll post winners for the month in my first post for the next month!
I really appreciate all of you and that is what this entire post is about!

I follow this blog all over the place…But. Although I’ve subscribed via email in the past, I’ve never confirmed my email subscription and never received your blog in my inbox…until now:)
Hope recently posted…Dear Readers…
Top commentators I love that. I did something similar early last year where I gave all my regular commentators a small gift I like that idea. I gotta do better with sharing posts that is something that I don’t do on a daily. If I see it on twitter I rt it but not from the actual page.
Kita recently posted…Whats up Tuesday
Morning Joi! I must commend you…you are doing an awesome job!!! I wish I lived near you so that I could attend your classes. I am following you on FB which I also shared the “Attain & Maintain” blog. I subscribed via email as well. So I am going to continue to follow you! I am ready for DVD! 😉
Enjoy!
lol I completely did not explain to my readers how to literally use my blog. 😛
I explained how to use it for themselves as a reader, mentally, maybe?haha
I tweeted, I facebooked, I crossed my fingers! Hopeful winner of the Visa Gift Card—->me!
Your blog is so fun and interactive. You’ve given me great ideas for mine.
I love giveaways! Congrats on hosting your first one! I’m still working on my post! lol I hope it’s done in time…lol!

I am so lost right now and I am probably doing the wrong thing. I got out of bed to get my laptop after reading your tweet. Joi, you’re awesome, and I’m suffering from no sleep right now. I can thank O-Chem for that.
