You’re a new blogger, you have your blog up and running, you just have your first content posted, but then you’re stuck. You’re blur, you’re alone, and you feel scared.. Hahaha, don’t take it seriously. Ok, you want to try mingling around, but you have no idea how to start. When, where..

YouthSearch contest

Ok, there’s a shortcut however. I see that most of you have joined YouthSearch contest. So what is it? Borrowing the contest’s slogan, YouthSearch contest is The Hunt For Innovative, Commercially Viable Website. This contest will surely attract a huge number of reputable establish blogs and, with the eligibility to join the contest, and the attractive price offered which is RM 20K, this is not bad. So what the heck is this competition has to do with you.

1. Join the contest. If your application is approved, your site will appear on the main contest page together with other blogs. What are you getting?? Back link (sneaking on the page source, it shows they do ‘dofollow’), publicity and exposure to other contestants or voters who got to the contest page.

2. Assuming most of the blogs participating in this contest is a reputable and established blogs (at least compared to your new blog), you can easily browse each one of them, but don’t forget to leave a comment or at least say hi. There is a bunch of blogs out there, so you can either visit all (if you’re hardworking enough) or maybe filter them based on PR, Alexa rank, or topic. It is as easy as a,b,c.

Alternatively, you can also use CommentKahuna which I had browsed earlier to find suitable blogs to leave comments.

Blog meetup

LiewCF posted about incoming bloggers gathering to be held at StarBucks The Garden, Midvalley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur on 12 Jan 2008. Organized by AllMalaysia Bloggers Project (AMBP), this event does not require any registrations, furthermore the first 50 bloggers who’d show up will receive free drinks courtesy of AMBP.

If you’re keen to build networks or at least get to know each other, this is the right event for you. Hopefully, more bloggers will show up in the event. If there’s no obstacle, I hope to be there too. Who wants to go with me???

These are only 2 ways to start drive your blog to the new height. There are even more on the net, especially related to SEO, content management, GUI and etc.
