The Importance of Building Relationships with Other Bloggers and Podcasters
Guess what, you don’t operate in a vacuum. You need readers and people that help spread the word about your writing. It just makes sense to work with other bloggers and podcasters. If this isn’t something you’re already actively pursuing, I hope today’s blog post inspires you to do so.
It’s a Quick Way to Get in Front Of Someone Else’s Audience
You work hard to grow your audience and get in front of as many people as possible. Other bloggers and podcasters work just as hard on the same goal and chances are that even if the two of you are in the same niche, you have somewhat different audiences. If you can build a relationship with a fellow blogger, you can each grow your reach and get in front of each other’s audience. Podcaster’s love to have guest speakers on their show to educate and inform their listeners. I was featured on Melissa Brown’s She’s Got Content podcast speaking about Do you Have the Right Visual Content.
You Can Grow Faster Together
With the support cross promotion brings allows everyone concerned has the opportunity to grow more quickly. It isn’t just your readership that will grow. Your lists will grow faster, your social media reach will grow faster, and your search engine rankings may improve as you support and help each other. Together you can grow your blogs much faster. Check out the Top Tips for Working at Home with Furry Friends collaborative blog post I created with a few fellow business owners.
Readers Want As Much Content As They Can Get – Help Them
Think about yourself as a blog reader. When you’re interested in a topic or getting into a new hobby, you want to read and learn as much as you can. Do you read just one blog? Of course not, you read everything you can find. Your readers are the same. Help them out by pointing them to other great blogs in your niche – and if you have a relationship with those bloggers, they will return the favor.
Mastermind to Learn Faster and Get Better
Last but not least, let’s talk about how you can become a better blogger by networking with others along the same path. We all figure out different things that help us in our blogging career. It’s better together. By masterminding with other bloggers, you can speed up the learning curve and get ahead much faster. Share what you’re learning, what’s working and what isn’t and grow together toward becoming better and more successful bloggers.

I believe we are stronger together and its why I want to create a local team of not only bloggers but business owners so we can help each other be seen and grown. Before Covid I would host events and its time to start again. Have a good week as I plan for a meetting this week with a friend and fellow blogger. Thanks for being a part of the #UBC
Cheryl says
I really appreciate this post. I really need to get closer to the other bloggers in my niche. I try to comment on their blogs and tweet about them but I haven’t thought of asking them to be more involved in their work, podcast or guest blogger.

I’ve been thinking about your #1 way of collaborating with other bloggers in my category for quite a while. Thanks for the nudge to take action.
Amanda Myers says

Martha says
Great ideas! Since joining the UBC in 2016 I have met so many wonderful bloggers, I even did a video interview with one as much as I hate speaking LOL
Amanda Myers says
Awesome. Great Job.
Julie Shahin says
I get so many emails of people wanting to collaborate and write for my blog. Unfortunately the experience has left something to be desired. Thus, I would love to see advice on how to get the experience and results for both parties!
Amanda Myers says
I like doing group collaborate blog post where each person just writes a paragraph, so the reader gets to quickly hear from many people about the topic you choose.
