Blogger Idol
Earlier in the year I ran a blogging experiment by the name of Blogger Idol on one of my other blogs. It was a fun way of connect bloggers together to all write on a common theme each week. Over 150 bloggers signed up for weekly emails with a suggested theme. It took a bit of energy and time for me to run it but it was well worth it as I met some great new bloggers from around the globe.
The benefits of participating in the Blogger Idol experiment were numerous.
- A free and easy way to promote your blog
- Builds page ranking as your blog is listed on the Blogger Idol weekly pages as well as other bloggers pages if they vote for you
- Discover other quality bloggers
- Stimulation for post topics (sometimes we all get bloggers block and need a starting point).
Participating bloggers ranged from personal blogs, to business blogs, to photologs and even a couple of political blogs.
We took a break from the project a few months back but have decided to get it going again as of today. This time it will all run on its own domain/blog so as not to dominate this one. If you’re interested in joining the project head over to Blogger Idol and join in on week 1’s topic of ‘All I want for Christmas….‘ Entries can be anything from stories, photos, essays, rants, poems, quotes - whatever. Creativity is encouraged.
You can also submit a topic for future weeks and sign up for the weekly emails announcing new themes.
