Groupies Wanted

What separates the more popular blogs from the ones nobody sees? Popularity. You got to be your own guru, and to do that, you need some groupies, people who regularly visit your blog and make comments on different words of wisdom you put forth.

Since in the beginning, you lack popularity, you may want to seek out less popular related blogs, and ask the owner if he/she would be winning to do a groupie exchange. You visit my blog regularly, and make a comment post, and I will be your groupie on your blog; being there to edify you and thank you for your wisdom, and telling you how right you are, and maybe interjecting a point here or there.

The objective behind the groupie exchange is that if you get enough rent-a-groupies, then some real ones will eventually come along. It's all about building synergy. Getting that motor running so that your blog takes on a life of its own. That is the whole point of the blogs, the websites, the link exchanges - to develop creditability and establish ourselves as an authority in our chosen field. If you get enough cheerleaders, great opportunities will emerge and the money will follow.

So here's my proposal, and I am going blog hunting this week. I need ten groupie members in my inner circle. Those that agree, on their blog, I will be a regular participate till the end of time (or forever long they keep their blog current with new posts), and in exchange, they will be my groupie member on my site. I'll report back here how it works. The very worst that could happen is we might just make a few friends.

great idea. I think if we all had 1,000 groupies it would actually make us more popluar in the search engines. Let's try it!

Thanks for commenting. I did respond to your idea about 1000 groupies in my regular blog post. Please check it out. I'll be back to visit your blog in earnest.

Thank you Alana. Welcome to the groupie exchange. I made my first post to your blog, and added your site to my blog.
