How to Blog Successfully – Tips From Ileane Smith
An interview with Ileane Smith of Basic Blog Tips.
Many people get started blogging with lots of enthusiasm only to give it up a few months later because no one seems to know about it or show any interest in the discussion.
Ileane approached blogging similarly but, she did a few things most bloggers do not do that had a huge impact on building up a following through her blog (audience engagement).
Today, if you check out Ileane’s blog you’ll find lots of comments (from real people) on every post, and she has some of the most influential bloggers guest posting on her blog. If you’ve ever wondered how to get more people interacting with your blog in a positive way, you’ll enjoy this interview.
Listen in to this podcast as Ileane answers:
- How she got started with blogging and social media.
- The secrets to her blog’s success.
- Tips for bloggers who are just getting started.

It was a good interview and Ileane knows what she is talking about. I do have to make a suggestion however, there is too much background buzz on the mic or phone connection when doing the audio recording. Use something like Audacity to filter and remove the background noise and the voices will be clearer, it is free and easy way to edit and clean up the audio a bit.

@Justin, thanks for the suggestion. That background noise is actually music I mixed in, but perhaps I need to reduce the volume of the music.
