Good advice. Who knew that majoring in Business would ever come in handy? I thought the only purpose of sitting through those classes was to make us want to bang our own heads into the wall. :b

I think it’s important to recognize what your unique resources & strengths are, and how you can improve your blog (by observing and taking into account what other bloggers are doing differently)– but at the same time, I think it’s important not to compare yourself to other people too much, or think of other bloggers as “competition.” Sometimes that just leads to self-defeat and feeling inferior. We’re all unique, and I think we can all exist in the blogosphere doing our own thing. The girls who succeed are the ones who just seem to focus on themselves, try to keep blogging *fun,* and keep thinking of new things that they can do to entertain (or help) their readers.

For me (if you’re talking about my main blog, anyway) the main competition are all bigger name publications with a bigger staff and much more funding. My site isn’t solely fashion and beauty-related, but food, travel and increasingly, arts/culture as well. While there’s more personal opinion than, say, The Toronto Standard, there’s also very few outfit pictures (the outfit pictures all appear in The DelectablyChic! Closet, which is a different site). I get contacted by PR people, but unlike my peers (e.g. Backseat Stylers, styleblog.ca, etc…), I’m not getting the kind of PRESS (i.e. from other sources) that I feel I should be getting.

Any advice for this?

Thanks

Cynthia

Great idea, makes me think about what I need to work on with my blog this year! The majority of my competition (or rather, bloggers I aspire to) are full time bloggers and I work full time and do blogging in the evenings/weekend. I've tried not to focus on limited time to blog being a negative though, at least in my career I'm learning a lot about different types of blogging which is one of my advantages.

I think this way of organizing everything out could be very helpful. I love learning about marketing – something I know absolutely nothing about.

This is a great tip, which in my opinion should be highly valued and once a year monitored in order to see evolution. Good old SWOT is perfect in any field.
