How to Build a Powerful Blogging Alliance

What Exactly is a blogging alliance?

A blogging alliance is a couple of bloggers working together trying to improve each other’s blogs. It is a phenomenon that really works. The blog alliance doesn’t have to be all about blogging, it can just be a few blog owners chatting and just chillin’, but sometimes still serious and they help each other out.

If it is possible for you to build an ally with a few other people then you should do it.

Other people will call it a “mastermind group.”

We are on a conference call, quite often. We discuss different stuff, as I said not everything is about blogging. You guys can talk about a lot of other stuff than just blogging. It doesn’t have to be Internet marketing related either, but this really depends on your time.

If you have the time to network with people in a much funnier way (like this) then you should do it. If not, then you should just talk about blogging, Internet marketing stuff all the time.

What Can a Blogging Alliance do For Your Blog?

A blogging alliance can do a hell lot to your blog, it can inspire you to write more posts, help other bloggers. You can learn from their failures and they can learn from your failures.

You share failures and success, which definitely is the way to go.

But a blogging alliance reach a deeper level, than just telling success and failures. The best thing is that when you have a blog alliance you are not feeling obligated to tweet, comment or what so ever. Only if it really is good content and something we would like to share with our readers.

I am, though, much more likely to share an article with one from my blogging alliance than just a random guy posting a link, because normally I know this is quality. I really know that each one of these guys are providing quality.

What it really can do for your blog is a lot. It only depends on the people you are building this alliance with. In our blogging alliance we have some unofficial guidelines, why we share and so on. I think that every single blogging alliance should make it clear with each other what we want to get out of this. Otherwise you guys will be so confused, with each other.

The Conference Call

This is a fun part, probably the best. It is where the most active members are just chatting throughout the evening/morning/night (as we are from all around the world) – we talk about blogging related stuff, off-topic, we rant (lol, mostly one person only)- there is not a thing we don’t do. We laugh, generally just having a great time.

The biggest call is Saturday, that is where everybody have the time to be online and just is online, after our big live show, we also are holding each Saturday.

We are having this weekly call, but that isn’t all. We are constantly having conference calls, we are having, on most days, one call. Sometimes we are having none, but most days we have at least got one.
It is at least 30 minutes long the call, but normally it is much longer. I have met new people. This really benefits, every body.

How You Should Build Your own Blogging Alliance

You shouldn’t be afraid of starting a blogging alliance. Just explain to the people you would like to join what it is. How they can benefit from it.

If you aren’t trying this you are really missing a lot of good stuff. You always have someone who can answer your questions, no matter what time it is.

You could talk to 3 bloggers you talk/network with and ask what they think about the idea and you should tell them that they should consider doing it, because it can improve their blog. If they say that they would love to try it and so on – you should tell them to invite a few people, to it.

There is no exact guide at all, just do it. Not many are doing this. And I can tell you that a lot of people are missing something here.

We just use Skype to do everything here, chats, conference calls and so on. Skype does it all.

There really is no “how to” create blog alliance. The only thing you should do is consider them as friends, not competitors. If you consider them as competitors, then you will have a hard time to build a reasonable relationship where you are helping each others. You need to be friendly and consider them as friends. Help them and they will help you.
