Community Blogging for Fun and Profit

PostDateIcon March 26th, 2009 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Administrator

A busy blog gets more traffic and wins faithful readers. So what can you do when you start to run short on ideas for your blog? You should consider making your blog a “community blog” and invite a few others who share your interest in the subject matter to post on the blog alongside you.

Why should you consider a community blog? Here are a few reasons. There are large community blogs that actually pay individual bloggers to post on a regular basis. Most of the time, though, bloggers accept the invitation and post for free just to gain the extra exposure — especially if they’re going to blog alongside people they know and enjoy.

Or having a community blog can also help allow for fresh content to be added to your blog on a consistent basis. Which means that fresh content can draw search engines and website visitors to your blog on a regular basis. Besides, a community blog can help free up your time as the blog owner since you will have additional bloggers contributing to your blog on a regular basis.

An example of a community blog can be seen at Bizzia.com. This blog’s focus is sharing business related information. There are many authors who share their knowledge through their writings on this blog daily. Each blogger has a specific topic or industry that they write about. The overall goal for the blog remains to be a website that share industry specific news and information to its web visitors.

One of the great benefits of a community blog is that the bloggers tend to comment quite a bit on one another’s posts. This helps to encourage commenting from visitors. If you target a specific topic for your blog, you can recruit other bloggers who have specialized knowledge on the same topic. Everyone involved will benefit from the traffic that flows through the blog.

The key to success with a joint blog is to have clearly defined responsibilities. You could set up a schedule for each blogger to follow, or require that everyone post once a day or twice a week. Whatever works for you. Lay out the rules for self promotion and linking out of the blog. The more generous that you are, the better response you’ll get from other bloggers. Make sure everyone involved understands your expectations about duplicate content, cross posting and other issues like crass language or flaming.
