What is a blog hop?

Being new to blogging, I had no idea what a blog hop was. The first time I became aware that blog hops even existed was when I discovered one over at Eclectic Evelyn’s website. Participating in a blog hop sounded like fun, though, so I decided to give it a try.

In the process I learned that a blog hop is a great way to find other interesting bloggers to follow. You get a chance to discover what you have in common with other bloggers and make new connections.

A blog hop can also be a fun strategy for promoting your own blog. If you are blogging as a creative way to catch-up retirement savings, you want more eyes on your blog. Hopefully, what you’ve written will be so entertaining that readers will check out some of your other posts, follow you, purchase your products or click on your ads to help you make money.

I know I definitely enjoyed checking out more of Eclectic Evelyn’s site! Let’s get to the blog hop Q & A . . .
