Long-Term Collaboration Project Ideas for Bloggers #MyBlogU

Sharing is caring!

Blogger collaboration is the most efficient way to build a solid blog. As we discussed, collaboration can take multiple forms including a guest post or an interview.

There are also longer-term types of collaboration which will require more time and effort but will provide great results!

Here are a few:

Blogging tours

A blogging tour is a fun way to engage fellow bloggers in doing something together. The tours result in fun content, backlinks, comments and connections. The way it works:

• Come up with the topic and write an article on it
• Tag fellow bloggers in your article to invite them to do the same

Here’s an example of the blog tour I participated in.

Feel free to use MyBlogU Brainstorm section to find bloggers who are willing to participate in your blog tour.

The older forms of similar blogging collaborations are blog carnivals and group writing projects.

Collaborate = "work jointly on an activity, especially to produce or create something" #myblogu

Blogging / Writing Challenge

A blogging challenge is a friendly competition in which bloggers commit to achieve a common goal, for example, write a blog post a day. There’s a common place (a forum or a group) where everyone records their progress for everyone else to see.

I'm doing an actual blogger roadtrip next month. Meeting friends in real life! #myblogu

Thus bloggers have more motivation to produce content. Moreover, they get inspired by seeing what others do. Plus, they tend to share each other articles which results in more traffic and shares.

If you feel so, feel free to join our own blogging challenge or use it for inspiration of your own.

Blogging Contests

You can host a blogging contest inviting bloggers to compete for a prize. You may also want to find sponsors to provide the prize. This way you connect bloggers to brands and build your own relationships with both.

A guest blogging contest is a good idea because bloggers compete for a prize on your site. This usually results in the huge traffic boost because bloggers will be interested in promoting their pieces on your site in order to win.

Here’s a solid example of how to set one up.

Feel free to use MyBlogU Brainstorm section to find bloggers who are willing to participate in your contest.

A Mastermind Groups

Simply creating an exclusive mastermind groups is a great way to bring your blog to a next level. Ideally, this mastermind group should consist of people who can share most insightful tips and won’t be afraid to ask each other various favors.

Two most efficient ways to stay connected with your mastermind group participants is via:

• Facebook group
• Skype group

I am a member of a few mastermind groups on Skype myself, so let me know if you have any questions.

Can't find one – create one, right? RT @roadturn: Count me in, @sherisaid @seosmarty … new blogger mastermind FB group. #myblogu

Link Parties

An older form of blog collaborations, these are still really effective. To set up a link party, you need to first find bloggers who are willing to participate (You can use a new email list to get people or a new MyBlogU Brainstorm project to get future participants to subscribe).

Once you have 10-20 people committed to your party, set up a one-day or one-week event during which all the participants share each other’s content through all the available networks. This can multiply everyone’s content exposure.

Clearly, MyBlogU can support you in any collaboration project you are thinking of. Just join and give it a try!

Someone reviving link parties and blogger collaboration is @CathyStucker. #myblogu

Are there any other forms of long-term blogging collaborations you’d like to add to the list? Please share!

Bloggers need to be mindful of Google guidelines to avoid looking like a reciprocal link farm #myblogu
