Four Places To List Your Blog, Tweets And Podcasts In Ireland

So perhaps you have been blogging for a little while. You are delighted with the progress you are making; you are getting more confident in writing your articles and you’ve even got a few comments being posted by your readers.

Or perhaps your podcast is now showing up in iTunes and you are noticing ever increasing numbers of podcast episodes being downloaded.

But have you remembered to make sure that your blog, Twitter account and podcasts are being listed in some of the key Irish directories?

While we’ve been blogging here at PodCamp Ireland for a year or so, I realised this week that we had not registered our blog in the Irish blog directories - sites that have a good ranking and where potential readers might go to browse to find out who’s blogging about what here in Ireland.

So here are 4 actions I took this week:

• I registered PodCamp Ireland’s blog at irishblogs.ie
• I submitted PodCamp Ireland’s blog feed to irishblogs.com
• I submitted our Twitter ID to twit.ie which is an aggregator for Irish Twitter and Jaiku users
• I submitted our podcast fee to PodcastingIreland.ie

(At the time of writing this, we are not yet showing up in the PodcastingIreland.ie directory or in Twit.ie - irishblogs.ie and irishblogs.com were super efficient at listing us)

Remember that blogging, Twittering and podcasting are all ways to create a community around your business and your brand, but it’s also important to become part of the community of people engaging in social media here in Ireland - if for no other reason that there are people who are taking the same journey and they are incredibly supportive.

Yes social media is great to build connections and relationships with people across the world as I reflected on with a new social network I joined last week which inspired my thought for the day yesterday - that we need never be lonely again if we are connected through social networking.

But there are are also some terrific people online in social media - and they may even be in your own home town.

So go on, get listed in the Irish blogging and podcasting directories today.

And if you have suggestions for other directories you think we should get listed in, do let me know.
