How to Co-Blog With Another Blogger – 3 Tips for You

Firstly, WHY should you want to Co-Blog With Another Blogger? Three reasons:

First, it’s fun! Each person is different and you get variety on your blog.

Second, it’s less work! You get two blog posts for the effort of one.

Third, it increases your traffic. More eyeballs on your content can only be goodness for you. You get all your normal blog readers, plus the readers from the other blog.

My co-blog example: My blog post

Zombie Lady Maximizing Tax Returns

Michael posted my blog on his site here: https://michaeldinich.net/online-tax-filing-software-diy

My co-blogger, Michael Dinich’s blog post:

How To Prepare Yourself Financially For The Zombie Apocalypse

Check it out! You never know when the next zombie apocalypse may strike!

I certainly have one point covered: Estate Planning.  I have my gravestone picked out:

Your ‘Co-Blog With Another Blogger’  First Tip

Be friendly with other bloggers. Make friends on Twitter and Facebook. Subscribe to their blogs. Share their content.

Michael Dinich has very good financial advice that I’m been happy to retweet and share in my Twitterverse.   He’s also a zombie aficionado, so naturally we hit it off!

Now, you don’t merely retweet and follow other bloggers, you interact with them. Chat with them on Twitter and Facebook. Make comments on their blogs.

I also join interest groups on Facebook, like writing, Science Fiction, and Fantasy. My favorite is Sci-Fan Roundtable.  Of course, there’s always the Zombie Turkeys page.

Your ‘Co-Blog With Another Blogger’  Second Tip

You’ve built your friendships with other bloggers.  Now what?

Produce some good content on your blog so you can share it with other bloggers.

In my case, my tax-related posts appealed to Michael Dinich. Perhaps you can write ‘how to breed and raise turkeys’, and post it on a farming blog!  Or write a ‘How to Write A Best Seller’ blog and post it on another author’s site.

You’re talented! Showcase your talent in your blog and offer to give it away to another blogger.

Michael Dinich’s post on surviving a zombie apocalypse didn’t follow my book’s plot, but pretty much followed my financial approach for my life, so it was a natural fit on this

Your ‘Co-Blog With Another Blogger’  Third Tip

You’ve got a co-blogging friend. You’ve got great content. What else could you possibly need?

Share your blog posts! Each one you share gets your combined audience. Who knows how many new followers you will attract? How many will your friend get?

Information is free, but valuable. The more it is shared the more valuable it becomes.

That’s it for today! If any of you want to co-blog with me, I’m open! Let me know what you want to share and ask for what you want from me. The more the merrier!
