A hobby of mine is writing and recording music I write. My stage name is Jude Davis and is the name I post songs under. I have a blog that I started for the sole purpose of getting new people to listen to my music, but it hasn't been very effective. A recent blog of mine for this class about recruiting for the basketball team at Utah State elicited a response from a stranger who is not in this class. It made me think about what makes an effective blog.
The posts I've written on my Jude Davis blog have been very short updates about songs I've been recording or writing. I realized that posts like these will not attract people to my blog. Writing posts about subjects that people can relate to will attract readers, as shown by my post about basketball recruiting at Utah State.
In the future my Jude Davis blogs will be about specific subjects that people will find interesting, such as reviews of albums, concerts, etc. The music I record is just a hobby and I don't expect to do anything with it beyond that, but it would be interesting to hear what people who don't know me think of it, and a way I can find that out is by writing a blog that people will be attracted to.
