Blogging can be lonely. Whether you blog in the early morning before your 9 to 5, on the weekends, or 24\/7 it\u2019s usually a solo task. But take a look on Instagram. A lot of your favorite bloggers are friends. They\u2019re invited to the same events, work with the same brand, or even are at the same house for Coachella. The girls that are major players in the blog game know that there\u2019s enough room at the top for friends. So stop taking a look at other blogs and comparing yourself. Instead, befriend the blogger in your neighborhood and do something productive in your newfound friendship. Here are 18 ideas.<\/p>\n
1. Start a blogger network<\/strong>: highlight your entrepreneurial spirit and get a group of bloggers united. Foster rewarding relationships and have an army of bloggers in your corner. I did this with The Style Darling, who I met at an IFB Con and it led to us working with Diesel for an in-store event.<\/p>\n 2. Teach a workshop:<\/strong> I just taught one at West Chester University with my makeup artist friend empowering students to look their professional best for the job interview. Other bloggers are using workshops to make money. There\u2019s Pepperologie, Blogcademy<\/a> and Blogshop to name a few.<\/p>\n 3. Plan a sponsored event.<\/strong> Scout out a brand, boutique, or local hair salon and hold something fabulous to promote you and their biz. Win, win! Rent Multi-Level Modular Staging to attract more people to listen to you event.<\/p>\n 4. Create a local styling competition. <\/strong>Your blogs can host the event and award something fabulous from a sponsor.<\/p>\n 5. Guest blog on each other's site.<\/strong> This is great for vacation season.<\/p>\n 6. Create a gift guide to share on each of your blogs.<\/strong> 7. Craft an ebook.<\/strong> Share you knowledge to your fan base and theirs.<\/p>\n 8. Share a sponsor and do same-day giveaway. <\/strong>Get multiple girls involved (like what blog agencies do) and make this campaign make an impact online.<\/p>\n 9. Start a twitter party #bestieblogbuds.<\/strong><\/p>\n 10. Host G+ chat hangout.<\/strong><\/p>\n 11. Cohost a web show.<\/strong><\/p>\n 12. Pitch to do TV together.<\/strong> Your local news may want to showcase local bloggers (blogging is hot right now, so capitalize on it!). Show how to make a signature cocktail together or vintage shopping tips, whatever makes sense for your brand.<\/p>\n 13. Throw a clothing swap for charity.<\/strong> Sharing is caring… and great PR.<\/p>\n 14. Create a blog series.<\/strong> Weekly, monthly, whatever. Make it consistent and people will follow.<\/p>\n 15. Be each other\u2019s outfit post photographer.<\/strong> 2 posts done at one time. Perhaps pose together?<\/p>\n 16. Go to events together and take lots of Instagram pics<\/strong>. You\u2019ll stand out more at an event with your blogger entourage and brands will remember that when they invite you they get lots of social media exposure. Perhaps the next event you\u2019ll be hired to host?<\/p>\n 17. Create an Esty shop together. <\/strong>Curate vintage and go into a mini biz with a blogger bud.<\/p>\n 18. Blogger brunch bash!<\/strong> Get the gals together (or guys) and network. Happy hour works too!<\/p>\n 19. Join in on Facebook.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>There are some amazing Facebook groups you can join where content creators connect, ask questions when they are stuck and participate in daily topics, such as, content sharing! Tip: Most of these Facebook groups have a list of bloggers \u2013 add your name to it!<\/span><\/p>\n 20. Twitter Chats.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Another way to get active is by joining in on live\u00a0Twitter Chats! Twitter\u00a0chats allow users to communicate on the platform by using hash-tags. The host of the live chat will send out questions for users to answer, while, encouraging conversations among the creators. <\/span><\/p>\n 21. Guest Post.\u00a0<\/strong>Guest posting is when bloggers write a blog post for another blog that is not their own. This is the perfect way to connect with bloggers, as well as present your creation to a new audience!<\/span> The easiest way to do this is by searching on Twitter (use hashtags like\u00a0#GuestPost, \u201cguest post,\u201d #bloggerswanted<\/em>) and check to see if any bloggers are interested.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 22. E-mail.\u00a0<\/strong>Send an e-mail to your favorite content creator and pitch them a collaboration idea! Ask if they would like to work with you in a guest post, a review, or even an interview! <\/span><\/p>\n 23. Guest Pinterest Board.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>You can start a board on Pinterest and invite bloggers to contribute to the board.
