Armchair BEA 2014 | Expanding Blogging Horizons

Hey blogger friends!

One of 
today's topics covers expanding your blogging horizons.  One things about blogging is that it's always evolving.  As you change and grow, so does you're blog.  Here are some things that I plan to implement in the near future. If you're looking to do any of the social media things that I've mentioned, let's connect. Maybe we can do a collaboration!

  • Bringing on 1-2 reviewers. - While I think I do a good amount of reviews, I'd like to post reviews Monday-Friday and I'm pretty far from that.
  • Expanding my YouTube channel to include collaborations and author interviews. - My YouTube channel is a constant work in progress. I'm still what I'd consider a "newbie" at it and I intend to change that sooner than later!
  • Explore doing a Podcast. - I enjoy listening to podcasts, so I thought it would be fun to do one. Either with other bloggers to discuss various topics in the blogosphere or chat with authors about writing and their books, etc.
  • Guest Post. - I've never done it,  but I would love to. I'd be happy to host another blogger here in return.
  • A website and logo design refresh. - I've had this look since January 2012 and I think it's time for something new. 

What about you? Please share your ideas on expanding your blogging horizons.

Happy Reading, 
~Tamara

Have you heard of Mountain Springs House and Graphics? They might be able to help you with the new website design. I love their work.

I post a review every day, so I've never thought of working with anyone else. I should do more with other social media, but it can be so time consuming-- I would rather spend the time reading! I paid to have my blog redesigned a couple of years ago and was really happy with it. I just looked at who designed some blogs I really liked. Have fun with Armchair BEA!

Impressive! I wish I could post reviews daily. My full time job prevents me from reading that many books, but I do pretty good considering. Who did you use to do your blog redesign?

These are such great ideas to keep your content fresh! I used Creative Whim/Nose Graze for my design and hosting and whatnot and was very pleased!

A podcast would be awesome! I only know of one other blogger who has ever done it. She interviewed other book bloggers. It was great. I was too chicken at the time she asked me to go on and now that her podcasting is over I wish I had.
