:: Christa Cox ::: Restless Blog Hop!

So ive been blogging sense i first got prego in 2008. But i mostly just had family following me. When i linked up with top mom blogs (which is so lame now) i had like 40 followers i think? I signed up for top baby blogs on 10-22-10. I think i got like 10 followers from that. lame.

So here is my secret! I started doing blog hops! I LITERALLY went from like 60 followers, to now (355 followers) in like 4 months.

But the only way these blog hops work IS YOU HAVE TO HOP THEM! If you are wanting more followers, you gotta work for it lol. I would hop from blog to blog finding ones that i loved, commented, and people showed love back! I know majority of my followers are from hops so you can all vouch!

So anyway, i decided im going to start hosting a blog hop so that we can all meet each other! I will do this every friday so everyone can hop around on the weekend! Keep in mind i get about 300 page view on average per day. Yes this is a baby hop, on a baby blog, but eventually it will pick up popularity... hopefully haha

RULES:

There really arent any rules. Except for like 2 :)

You HAVE to be a follower of Young&Restless Blog.

and you have to display this button in a post, sidebar, whatev :)

jessica ♥ The Fevered Pen said...: This is such a fantastic idea!!!! :D I'm so in!!!

Also, how do you feel about doing a guest post for my blog?! About your birth experience, or bringing baby home, whatever you'd like so long as it involves the newborn days :D

I know I'm a little late on asking, I should have sooner but I totally forgot of my desire to have a bunch of guest posters for the first couple of days after baby is born. He's coming on WEDNESDAY! :D

Let me know what you think! :D; September 30, 2011 at 3:23 PM

mary. sunkissedlife said...: I love blog hops. Not only is it a great way to get more followers but it's also a great way to find more blogs to read. Thanks for hosting this one. I have a hop I'm co-hosting too if you haven't already linked up.

Enjoy your weekend!; October 1, 2011 at 4:37 AM
Jill @ Momma Totally in Love said...: Hey Christa! great idea!! I like hops too, but I also like when people follow my blog bc they want to read it and not just bc they want me to run back and follow, ya know? When I follow a blog off a hop, its bc I love what I see and am looking forward to reading daily! It drives me nuts when the coupon sites come and leave a message telling me to come follow them back and dont even read my post!! lol; October 1, 2011 at 5:56 AM

kewkew said...: Blog hops have definitely helped me gain followers. Though lately even if I go to other's blogs and follow and comment I don't get a lot of follow back. I agree with Jill though.
Glad I found yours. I found you blog through the Scavenger Hunt sunday. I also was reading your post on abortion. Can't bring myself to watch the videos but I am 100% pro-life.
I have placed your button on my Blog Hops page and on my Friday Blog Hops post this week. It will be on future Friday blog hop posts as well. I would love to be a host. I co-host a giveaway link up and used to do another one, but the lady who started it changed her mind.
Have a great rest of your Sunday.; October 2, 2011 at 12:59 PM
Heather said...: Yay! Its my first blog hop. I would be happy to post a blog hop. I get like 150ish page views a day..... So i'm not exactly a big fish, but I love meeting new people.; October 3, 2011 at 6:00 AM
