What to Ask for in #MyBlogU Brainstorm Section
Sharing is caring!
@MyBlogU Brainstorm feature will evolve together with our community. We certainly won’t try to influence it too much letting our community decide what the best way to use it is. We are flexible and we are excited to see how it develops.
One thing we would like to focus on at this stage is that we’d like it to be more about content* than anything else.
*If all you are asking for is the generic site feedback (examples: “What’s wrong with it?”; “How I would promote it?”; “What do you think of the design”), please use the forum section we have opened for that.
great review of @myblogu from @IMHBlog http://t.co/lo8RFuAx72 #myblogu

We may change this policy in the future (depending, again, on the user feedback) but we would really like to make @MyBlogU Brainstorms your *content marketing* tool at this point.
So, while not limiting your options, let’s list some examples of brainstorm request you could post here:
Examples
Unique / original angles and perspectives
If you are looking for a more original angle or simply not sure where to start with your research, ask @MyBlogU users to send you links and related tools (Example):
Ask what people LOVE to read… RT @EP_pturner: Surveying opinions #myblogu
— Ann Smarty (@seosmarty) July 24, 2014
Perfect platform for that RT @EP_pturner: finding joint venture partners #myblogu

Case studies
If you are looking for people who succeeded/failed with something you are researching, ask here.. (Example)
I got some AWESOME ideas of experts when asking for a case study. One from @top5seo… Great opp to expand connections! #myblogu

Google HOA / Podcast / Twitter chat / Interview guests
If you do popular podcasts and you are constantly looking for guests to feature, feel free to request this here (Example).
Note: It’s also not a bad idea to mention that MyBlogU users are welcome to suggest their friends or known niche influencers to contact, not just pitch yourself
Ideas for products – testing idea, development, prototype beta etc #myblogu

requests for specific stats/facts/figures for an article + quotes from industry experts #myblogu
— David McSweeney (@top5seo) July 24, 2014
Tool / Infographic reviews
If you do regular tool reviews or feature niche infographics in your industry, please ask to send them your way (Example):
I have found that I have made positive contributions even when I thought I knew nothing on the subject. Important to *look* and see #myblogu
— Phil Turner (@EP_pturner) July 24, 2014
True and their background will let you EXPAND your initial topic RT @EP_pturner: people can contribute something on most subjects #myblogu

Feature Options
- You can make your project “public”: That means others will be able to share it on social media and non-registered users will be able to see the project title, description and the associated blog. Search engines will be able to crawl that information as well (if they follow social media links, for example).
- Please approve ideas you are receiving: This way your helper’s rank and thus authority will be growing within MyBlogU (We are working to incorporate @MyBlogU user rank into many section giving higher-ranked members more benefits)
- If you used the idea in your content and especially if you in any way referenced the idea author in your article, please provide the URL. This way your own @MyBlogU rank will increase as well. Moreover, this way you’ll encourage your helper to share that URL around as well (more social media shares => More exposure and traffic!)
- You can access all the older ideas in “My Brainstorms” section. It is highly possible that you may use one idea on one blog and another idea would result in another article on your other blog/column. It is not required that you use all the ideas on the project-assigned blog, of course. But please do keep your helpers updated on where their idea came in handy (that will be very encouraging for them and will build stronger connections as well! Plus, again, more shares)
The power of the group is more than the sum of our separate parts – Long-live Brainstorms #myblogu
