These days a lot of blogs are being built. The web hosting is cheep and if you have a little success you can even earn some money.
Everyone have their own agenda when they start blogging: some of them jus want to earn some money, while others want to be heard and maybe other just out of boredom. I remember the first days when I started blogging, I didn’t have any idea about anything, I just bought the domain and I started blogging without having a clue how it should actually be done.
But the fact is that just a few of the blogges have success in building a great blog. From my experience, the key to building a successfully blog consists of bloggers interactions and search engine optimization.
In this article I will present you the way of building successful bloggers interactions.
Steps to follow to make yourself and your blog known:
A lot of work and time is needed to successfully interact with others blogers. You have to be fair and offer the proper respect for your blogger collegues.
1. Guest posting
Guest posting plays an important role in building a relation with other bloggers. In my opinion, it is the first most important thing: by guest posting on other blogs, you will have the chance to interact with the bloggrer and also to gain sympathy from the visitors of the blog you have decided to guest post on. A quality article needs to be written, just don’t try to copy the article from other sources, be as original as you can an in the end it will pay of. Try to structure the article as best as you can to make it easy to read and understand. By guest posting, you will not just gain interaction, you will also gain links and traffic.
2. Joining communities
A lot of communities from your blog niche can be found on the internet. Joining a community could be very benefic for you. There you can find a lot of friends that can help you and also it will help you stay updated with the latest news. Try to gain as much followers as you can and help as much as you can. Personally, when I started blogging this was the first thing I did. You can join the following communities: blogcatalog, bloggers , blogengage …. and the list may continue. Interact as much as you can in these communities and in a relatively short term results will start to show.
3. Other tips for bloggers interactions:
Commenting on others blog will also be good: while you are searching the net try to leave an honest comment on other blogs. Reaching the top commenter position will get you appreciation as well.
Forums can also be a good way to interact with others. Try to respond to as many forum posts as you can and help solving other’s problems by leaving a good advice for them.
Facebook and Twitter have been playing an important role in a blogger’s life for a long time, but to make a good use of them you first need to gain some followers. It will be a good idea to start following others and some of them will follow you back.
Conclusions
All in all, just writing good content isn’t enough, bloggers interaction started to play a major role in being a successful blogger and eventually becoming a well known voice.

If you’re not interested in interactions with others, in comments and conversations, then you’re just writing for yourself. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s unlikely that you develop a following and readership that way. Guest posting is on my to-do list for sure, and I am glad to see some love for communities and forums. The best way to support bloggers, along with reading and commenting on other blogs, is sharing good content. Tweet it and link back to it on your own blogs. Helping others helps you. FWIW.

I have found that guest posting has been a great way to attract readers – along with comluv. It is also important to find something interesting to write about. You need to get peoples attention and find ways for them to come back. Personally I have been buying and selling different types of collectibles for years so I naturally share items that I think can become collectors items, sell out, and even generate some extra cash. I also talk about different ways to make money with domains – these things have given me a small but steady stream of traffic.
Finding something and sticking with it is key. not everyone will be successful but if you’re happy with your blog at the end of the day, then your job is accomplished

Out of all of these mediums, I would have to say that being involved in niche forums is one of the best ways to reach community members that can relate to your blog/readers. It takes time and some effort to become a trusted authority, but is well worth the effort.

In my small niche, joining the commentluv community and commenting on other blogs have got my blog out there and noticed.
It takes time to visit lots of blogs and stay to write a quality content. However, I love networking and other bloggers appreciate when you do join the conversation and add something to the interaction on their blog.
Have made lots of friends and only today one of my blogging buddies commented how we are part of a great tribe, where we all help each other
Loving the journey and appreciate all the encouragement and support I have had from this amazing community.

Without social interaction a blog won’t last long at all. Social interaction, especially with high ranking bloggers is a great way to get in front of new audiences and gain backlinks. You can do a lot of article marketing, directory submissions, and commenting, but it takes a lot more work and is a lot less fun than building good realtionships with bloggers that will naturally link back to your site.

I think, especially in niches like mine, that it’s pretty hard to build a community since the blog and site are created around products that don’t exactly inspire a lot of conversation, however I find that it’s still fun to actively engage with bloggers in other niches to help build backlinks and relationships that’ll help grow your product site.

Hey Bitdoze! No doubt that guest posting is on the rise as one of the best ways to interact in the blogosphere. I think it should also be stressed to follow up on the comments that come in on your guest posts. A few times some of my guest posters were late in responding so I had to give them a little nudge, but it’s much better to stay on top of it so that doesn’t happen.
Thanks for the tips.
