If you are like me, you will have been doing all you can these last few weeks to prepare for 9rules round 5 of blog submissions.

For those new to the 9rules concept, it’s a blog community (much like a network) where people apply to be included into the network when they have “inclusion rounds”. The site’s that get into 9rules will be sites which have great content, updated on a regular basis, a desire to improve your site and your skills, and a commitment to the 9rules community, whether that means helping fellow members or just giving advice to a new writer.
So, how can you increase your chances of getting into the 9rules network this time around?
- Make your site searchable
- Always tell the truth, and nothing but the truth
- Make your titles detailed yet interesting
- Let people know what your site is about in a glance
- Tag your posts to make your site’s subject known
Once you’ve done these things keep pumping out the content, not just in the lead up to the submission day, but keep going even after you have submitted your site for inclusion – and if you dont get in, dont give up hope. Keep working hard on your blog as these submission rounds come along often enough.
Have fun, and good luck!
