Hey guys, I’m blogging for this new website called world market media. I would love some insight as to how I can improve the blog and would love some “blogging buddies.” I would be more than happy to daily visit someone else’s blog and post comments and make suggestions for improvement if they would be willing to do the same for me. Please email me at bruce@worldmarketmedia.com if you are interested thanks.

I learned something new and interesting about geese today, aside from a blogging tip! Thanks, Dar!

This is a great task and wonderful idea. Anyone who writes a blog in the green/stress bustin niche, email or tweet me!

Before I relaunched the website I consulted other bloggers and non-bloggers to get it looking professional and easy for the reader.

I explore several other music blogs in the process and am constantly tweaking my interface. I still don’t have a blog buddy per se but I do have a good network of people whose opinions I value.

Having said that I am always open to critique from other bloggers who have useful experiences to share and I’m also eager to give my insight

Oh, and I also shared some posts from my Blog Buddy-Keith Jenkins from http://www.velvetescape.com to my other Twitter followers, as well as on other Social Media.I hope he does the same thing for me too :)

10 Days behind the task, but has already been in contact with my blog buddy from Problogger,Keith Jenkins http://www.velvetescape.com. He also suggested to team up with another travel passionate blogger, and will check the site now. By leaving comments on each other post is also part of supporting our blog buddy!

Agree with @Josh Moore : When I completed my 31DBBB Challenge, I want that banner/badge too on my blog!It’s also encouraging people to join.

Luckily, I have some blog buddies from my previous blog efforts that I’ve stayed in touch with over the years. But I’d love more!

Just to put it out there – I’m a 30-something who loves to sing. I probably act younger than my age quite a bit. I hate corporate BS. I’m not the most successful person in the world, but I’m trying my best.

Feel free to check out my blog and connect with me if you’d like!

We love the quote from Eric and Sean in the reading for this task.

"It is important to understand that part of the challenge (to find a blogging buddy) lies in the patience it takes to wait for the right blogger to enter our lives .. Never be overly eager or desperate! ... The right decision is rarely made in desperation."

TIP As Sean and Eric note, it's important gauge the background of potential blogging buddies. A way to find potential blogging buddies is to a search in google like the following.

inurl:about + "your niche keyword"

Reason being that people seem to write what their most passionate about on their "about us" page.

I sure am anxious to start building relationships with other friendly bloggers. Currently, I’m a sponge and trying to put it all together for a proper launch in May. Talk soon folks!

I like to follow the concept of co-operation rather than competition in my own life, but I’m quite a lone wolf because working in a team has never worked out for me.

I really need to think about this and see if it could work for me. Although I understand it, I’m not sure I feel it at the moment. A lot of soul searching for me with this day’s challenge!

Thanks for providing me with brain fodder for the day :)

This is just what we all need. If we stick together and support one another and each others blogs, it will help us grow within the wonderful world of blogging. I really liked the reference to the V formation. Nice Work!

Fabulous story about the geese. I love it when people realize they actually can benefit from working together rather than by taking advantage of someone else.

I am about to hop over to the collaboration section of the Forum, but wanted to put out a shout out here too. I am trying to really get my blog focused, although there are a few other topics that creep in occasionally.

The main topic is Cooking With Kids
I also talk a lot about how to do that in a sustainable way, how to deal with family mealtimes, and how to cook with kids as a means of doing community service.

Thanks!
Michelle

@Samuel I write a sex advice and intimacy blog – it seems we might be in a similar niche.

A blogging buddy is a great idea – one I wish I had a year ago!

This series has been very informative and a lot of fun to read. However, this post is golden. We all need to help others and receive help to succeed. Cheers!
