Today I’m sending you to my guest post on Darren Rowse’s blog, Problogger.net.
When Darren asked for a guest post we chatted about what the topic should be.
He suggested ‘Taking your Blog to a Community’ which is a broad canvas. I wrote a compilation of ideas for extending awareness of your blog or site to new communities.
Many of you read Darren’s blog regularly. If you’re not familiar with his work I recommend that you browse his blog (especially if you’re just starting to blog). He has amazing ideas.
Thank you Darren for the opportunity to share my community building ideas with your community. And thank you for introducing your community to my blog & work! That was one of my main points: Collaboration is a great connector.
I hope that you find the ideas useful. Building community is fascinating & very gratifying.
In writing this it occurred to me that I have enough readers to invite guest posts. So I invite you to email me with the topic(s) you’d like to write a guest post on. :) My email address is on the left under my photo.
Nice to meet you, Connie! I’m using a blog to build a community over the next few months, so it looks like your site will prove extremely useful. I look forward to reading future articles. :)
Congratulations on making Problogger!
Great idea, Connie, I’ve always thought that guest posts are one of very few existing ways to draw blogs together into communities.
As our social tool set gets bigger outside of closed social networks (friendfeed, twitter, flickr, dodgeball, brightkite) we’re slowly putting together a supernetwork (blog = profile, twitter = status, etc), and guest posts are a fun way to reinforce that.
Now clicking through to problogger…
Congratulations on the guest post over on ProBlogger (certainly something to be proud of). Blogging on building community is certainly a lot to cover and it’s something we’re all in constant search of answers on. When you get there…when you’ve built a community for yourself through your blog, the feeling makes it all worth-while.
(Note: the blog I linked to here is new. I’ve left my old blog to try and start something new here so bare with me…)
