Collaborating with other bloggers is a brilliant way to build your presence in the blogging community. It’s great fun working with people who have similar interests and goals, but how can you make sure your audience are having as much fun as you are?
Guest posts are one way of working with other bloggers, but the more creative you are with your ideas the more you’ll get out of your collaborations. If you’re looking to work with your community, but don’t want to stick to guest posts then see if one of our ideas gets your creative juices flowing!
- Host a Twitter Chat Together
Hosting a twitter chat is a brilliant way to get your social followers talking, as well as helping you bring in new audiences. Working with another blogger to host a twitter chat means you’ll have a whole new audience to talk to, as well as having another voice promoting what you’re doing.
