This blog is boring ...

There, I said, this blog is boring. No wonder hardly anyone ever stops by here! I'd skip it too, if it weren't my own! LOL I read so many blogs and I know what draws people and my blog has little appeal. What draws readers? I've compiled a tiny list:

1) Freebies. Give away something, no matter how crappy quality it may be, and you'll get tons of lookers. Most will download your freebie. Less than 10% will say Thank You. (I'm not judging, I'm one of the guilty who tend to skip the "Thanks".) I might add, most freebies are equal in quality to what you can buy in stores, but you need to check the quality after you download. What looks great in a preview, often looks awful at full-size.

2) Write a tutorial. If it is slightly half-way decent, people will swing by to read it, even if it is a repeat of what can be found again and again on most large scrapbooking sites. Now, write a hybrid tutorial, and you'll get tons of readers. People are flocking to hybrid projects and love to see "how-to's". ~I don't do hybrid. I'm too anal to make most physical crafts, I re-do and fix and fiddle and it makes me nuts.

3) Lead a fun life and document it with lots of photos of trips, family outings, cute kids, inspiring views. Describe how great a time you had with your BFF's at your regular get-togethers. Why? These things make the rest of us who don't go on trips, have family outings or BFF's get a chance to live vicariously through you and we feel better about our lives somehow.

4) Give frequent motivational or spiritual messages, quotes, or word-art. Again, it makes us feel better.

Am I going to so any of these thing??? ~ Don't hold your breath! LOL

1) I am thinking of giving away a kit, a bit every day next month. Will I do it, who knows. I'm a terrible procrastinator. It would be Funky, my first ever kit. I'd even throw in all the freebies and incentives that I made to go with it. Want to see it, then scroll way on back to the earlier part of the blog. It's mostly purple and it isn't vintage. If you want me to give it away, then POST A COMMENT! Come on, someone is reading this blog besides my brother-in-law, (Hey Dave!), PLEASE leave a comment!! Give me some incentive! Oh heck, here is the original link: http://bubblykori.blogspot.com/2006/04/exciting-news-debut_30.html and here is from when I revised it: http://bubblykori.blogspot.com/2007/07/lots-of-news.html I'll include EVERYTHING!

2) Will I write a tutorial? I have, you can see one over at ScrapbookGraphics blog I wrote. If you write and ask a question in a group I'm in, I'll often whip up something, but for whatever reason, I can't seem to pull one out for my blog. I need topics first, I can't think of ones until a need arises. It is sort of like having to come up with an essay topic in school, I hated it, I'd agonize for days. Give me a topic though and I'd write pages in a snap. ~if you want to leave any ideas, you could be like the 5th person to ever leave a freaking comment on this blog in 3 years!

3) I don't go anywhere, I don't do fabulous things, every time I make a BFF, they move to another part of the country (really, they are in Phoenix -2, Iowa-2, New Jersey, New York, Texas.) It's depressing. ~I do have the cute kid though! :)

4) I used to be a positive person. I laughed and smiled all the time. Without getting into it, I've had the joy sucked out of my life for years. Really, you don't want to hear about it all, it's just depressing and people don't want to read about misery. Well, most people don't want to read about others misery; sometimes it's good to learn your life isn't as awful as someone else's! LOL Maybe I can come up with some motivational quotes to share. Not word art, I'm not that good at word art. Then again, it could be good to practice.

Anyway, I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day weekend. My store is on sale for 30% off still. I have 4 Valentine themed kits. You want them. Really. You must buy them. Go now. (Ummm... Does this qualify as subliminal advertising?!? LOL)
