Operation CommentBomb and the CommentLuv plug-in.
Hey there!
Come on in. I’ve just made a pot of tea.
How are you?
Mrs. Jalopy was up early this morning to go off to a big coaching training and networking event.
I stayed in and laid in bed ’till the early afternoon…
I love a good weekend lie-in!
It was great! 
(Yeah, that’s right. There are no kids in Family Jalopy just yet.)
Then this afternoon, before I got dressed, I did some networking of my own from the comfort of my man cave.
Earlier this week, inspired by an awesome book I’d been reading, I revealed the intimate details of an evil plan to get more readers to my website prior to my book launch.
One of the integral parts of the plan involved finding people with blogs that are relevant or semi-relevant to what I do and are awesome enough to have a gang of enthusiastic followers interested in the kind of stuff I write about.
I’d then comment on their blog in a value-adding, amusing,controversial or plain obsequious manner to attract the attention of blogger and blogger cheerleaders alike.
Then, both blogger and blogger cheerleaders fall in love with the JJ style, come and hang out here in Jalopyland and tell all their friends. Global domination soon ensues.
Global Domination. But first, tea.
Cool.
So today I did a few useful things as I sat at my computer, sans pants.
I found the very best writing on the internet in the coaching / consulting / personal development and internet marketing fields, and I commenced Operation CommentBomb.
This intimidated me a little. There’s a lot of fantastically awesome stuff out there.
But my stuff is awesome too. I hope.
Another cool thing I did was install a thing called CommentLuv on my blog.
This is a really cool plug-in (the technical term is thing) which allows me to reward my JalopyGang cheerleaders by automatically leaving a headline link to their last blog post in their comment.
If you have a blog then add a comment below and see how it works. Be sure to put the URL of your website in the relevant box on the comment form. If you can’t think of anything to say, then feel free to tell me you think I’m brilliant. I won’t mind.
The plan is to get more people active on my blog by making the comments more useful to readers and commentees alike.
Why? Well…
- Post titles are more fun and eye-catching than your name or the name of your website. My awesome readers are more likely click on a link if it’s an intriguing sounding post title.
- I can keep up with my readers more easily.
- Commenters get an extra link to their website in their comments!
- Readers see a selection of posts from people who enjoy the same kind of thing as them.
So, yeah. This rocks, essentially.
And part of my networking operation will involve commenting on a number of blogs with CommentLuv installed.
For an example, check out the embarrassingly sycophantic comment I left on the blog of Life Coach and supremely talented writer Tim Brownson.
Why not suck up to me too?!
Get involved!
Speaking of which… thanks for all the praise and feedback about my awesome Jalopy Gang Newsletter. The next issue hits your emailbox tomorrow so sign up below if you don’t want to miss out!
One of my favorite comments came from my friend Jon, who claimed that my latest newsletter (which I thought was a bit rubbish) read the way I sound when I’ve had a few beers.
Probably won’t be including that testimonial anywhere other than this post here! Thanks mate.
Anyway… it’s been a hard day of lie-ins and playing on the internet – so I’m going to head to the sofa now with Mrs. Jalopy, watch TV and eat some Chinese takeout.
Mmmmm…
Have a wonderful weekend folks!
JJ Jalopy.

JJ,
Sounds like a plan. Looks as if you will be working your plan for years to come. By then you may have some young ones running around that will keep you from sleep.

Having a good lie-in (such a British phrase) was one of my favorite things when I would watch the marvelous British romantic comedy, “As Time Goes By” with Dame Dench.
Good to create a strategy

JJ,
Great CommentLuv plug-in but I can’t download it as it’s migrating to a new server and hence it’s down for the next 2 weeks!
Will revisit it then.

The “sans pants” thing might be TMI (too much information), but I like the plugin and the book recommendation.
Just kidding about the TMI thing. One of the best things about working out of the house is the chance to work in my underwear.
