I just joined the Problogger forums for the 31DBBB workbook. Maybe I can find something in there in the collaborations section as suggested in the workbook. I’d love to have a blogging buddy.

If anyone on here is interested, take a look at my blog and contact me if you feel we could work well together.

Activity has kind of died down, though, and I’ve found myself being the sole blogger once more. I don’t mind, but it’s awfully lonely now! All of my buddies are bogged down with school and work. It’s been my intention to start building the group back up again and encouraging old contributors to come back, but now I’m really busy.

Looks like now is the time to make the time to regroup everyone!

That being said, if anyone is interested in writing about their experience with depression and depression-related stuff (self-injury, addiction, chronic pain, suicide, etc), shoot me an email at elizabeth[at]lettersoflove[dot]net. We are a VERY friendly and honest bunch, and even though activity has died down a bit we are a very tight-knit and supportive group. Writing for SCS has helped myself and others quite a bit.

I don’t know about other blog platforms but WordPress makes it easy to see comments coming in and I suspect others do as well. Answering comments in your own blog, visiting those who comment, and leaving comments for them are great ways to interact with bloggers.

I’ve written up how I find related blog posts and link to and recommend bloggers I admire in my latest blog post. It might offer some new ideas to some.

It’ll be nice having a blogging buddy in the same house! Thanks for the tips and we will take much of the advice and reach out to others also with the same interests!

Now I share a second blog with an A-list blogger and have just initiated a joint project with 2 other bloggers. I have lovely blogger friends whom I keep in close touch with. I couldn’t have imagined that when I first started.

How it happened? I simply tried to be of help to others. Then connections started to form and friendships evolved.

Another thing to note is that it is possible to turn down good blogging buddies without knowing it. I remember when I was an enormous help to a blog, doubling and tripling its traffic through guest posts that linked to other bloggers and getting attention via trackbacks, links from my own blog, comments on behalf of that blog. And the funny thing is I almost didn’t get picked even after volunteering.

I think it really helps to know your limits as a blogger, and know where you’ll need help.

Finding a blog buddy is 80% of the problem. Once you have found your buddy, how do you work out a financial arrangement so that you stay good friends in the long term? That’s a very important point to consider. So that’s why we offer a standard revenue sharing agreement and AdSense revenue share service. We are in beta right now, so ping us if you want to try it out or find out more.

Whateverebay: Little Blogger, coming to a Toys R’ Us this Christmas!

Rob: You are quite welcome.

Jennifer: You can share experience without dividing dollars. Eric and I run separate blogs, but we are able to help one another on a daily basis.

Sire: You are absolutely right. Finding a blogging buddy is just the natural result.

Matt Gio: Good luck on your quest!

Tony Cathey: Spread the gospel.

Ryan: Definitely a smart tactic.

A. Dawn: You could share rather than collaborate, but it’s nice to have someone who is going through the same things. At least for me.

Krissy: The comment award goes to Krissy. Way to go, and well said.
