9. WRITE A GUEST POST FOR A BLOG OR FEATURE A GUEST POST ON YOUR BLOG
Guests posts seem to have declined in popularity on book blogs in the past couple years, but they can be a fun way to increase your reach and introduce readers to new bloggers.
10. READ 10 BLOG POSTS AND “LIKE” THEM
This is the simplest way to support book blogs — read them! — but sometimes we get busy, and this falls by the wayside. So take the time to read 10 posts and leave a “like” is possible. Bonus: comment on them, as well.
11. LINK TO OTHER BOOK BLOGS IN FIVE OF YOUR OWN POSTS
Ideas include:
- Creating a round-up of interesting links from other blogs
- Writing a discussion post inspired by someone else’s and linking back
- Linking to other bloggers’ reviews at the end of your reviews
- Linking to another blogger’s post in a discussion post to support a point
- Including quotes from other bloggers and linking back to them in one of your posts
12. SHARE 10 MORE BLOG POSTS TO SOCIAL MEDIA
Repetitive? Maybe. But bloggers love when other people share their posts, and they get more traffic!

MINI CHALLENGES
Other small things you can do to boost bloggers this year:
- Comment on a book tour post. (Why: So publishers can see bloggers have an audience and these marketing posts are reaching people.)
- Comment on an author interview. (Why: These posts tend to get few comments, so commenting shows authors and publishers that people are reading them — and blogs in general.)
- Tag a publisher on social media when you retweet a 5 star review from a blogger. (Why: These posts often get little recognition from publishers.)
- Vote for book bloggers in any end-of-the year awards where “book influencers” are nominated. (Why: Usually these categories are dominated by bookstagrammers and booktubers.)
- Share your secrets to blogging “success.” (Why: We’re all in this together! If you have a great way to get traffic or comments, let others know so we can succeed as a community.)
