So, I'm continuing on this "Thankful" stream of posts, thanks to Debbie Reynolds' challenge for the month. Today, I want to share how I'm thankful for other bloggers and how much they've helped me, and how much they can help you.
This post is prompted by a recent article, 15 affordable DIY projects you can do to increase the value of your home.
Say what? Isn't this a competitive article to some of the stuff you've written? Well, that's not how I see it.
Let me explain.
Do you remember the featured article I wrote a few weeks ago? It was 3 Simple tips to get your articles to rank higher. In there, I discuss the importance of guest blogging and sharing (and in return receiving links back to yours). We all get ahead by helping each other out...it's the power of networking.
So, I got this note on Facebook yesterday from Jeff Proctor, a blogger I know from a couple of blogging facebook groups. He asked if there was anywhere in the above article where he could add a link back to my site (and of course that was an easy "yes" for me). I mean who wouldn't want an extra backlink to their other article?
He asked if it was possible for me to link back to him. And, I one upped him, by giving him a link back from here as this site has higher domain authority (as of today, the DA for AR = 75. His site is new, so he's trying to get it rank better, and I'm happy to help as he's been helpful to me and other bloggers.
In addition, I'm so thankful for the wonderful bloggers I've met on this site. You guys have helped me so much, both in terms of learning to blog, and learning to market better and interact with realtors better. You guys have been awesome.
In addition, many of you have linked to my articles (thank you!) and I've also been able to guest post on many sites. We all help each other out. And, by doing that, we all get to a higher place.
My goal is to try to publish one guest post/week on other sites through the end of the year. So far, I've been able to do that for 2 weeks in a row, and this should be week #3. Let's hope I can keep it up. And, let me know if you have a site where I can guest post on. (I think right now, I have 6 or 7 opportunities, so trying to check one off each week.) But, I would love to keep this up through Jan/Feb.
