Hi Martin, You can start by discovering blogs you like. Music is a hard industry to connect via linkedin, but there may be groups for your niche. When you find the blogs related to music that are interested, you may be inspired to write more than some comments. You could start guest blogging. That can be more rewarding initially than trying to build a blog from scratch, but you have to provide the best of the best. See if the blogs you like are open to guest posts, and try to build a relationship with the people that have similar interests. Genuine interest is hard to turn your heels on. Even if they’re not ready to have you post on their blog, they may be open to giving a little pro bono mentoring on how to start one.

I maintain a corporate blog and sometimes for eLearning and training. I always try to find people who write well to post on our blog. It’s interesting to see a variety of voices.

Jeff, appreciated this post, and the info about SEO. Just tweeted it….maybe you could write for our blog on “blogging and Facebook” or something? Our audience is trainers, educators, management, HR people, and anyone who is interested in learning and sharing about learning.

Martin,

You build contacts through your blog. I would suggest using Linkedin sites that musicians frequent. In addition, I would send friend requests to musicians who use Facebook. I would tweet your blog links. This will all take about six months to year to achieve a critical mass. I have been blogging for over two years. It is just in the last six months that my readership has started to grow dramatically.

If I have hardly any contacts, how do i blog. From what I understand blogging is done to people you already know. How would I go about blogging to a trade sector which in my case is music. I want to tell as many musicians as possible about a product that I am marketing called a PAGE GRIP. (see website video) What is the best way to achiev this?

regards
