Comment on Can a Blog Network Really Benefit You? by Dave and Deb

I just love Keith and Janice and we are so excited for their new site. We are traveling quite extensively right now, but we are slowing down for a bit in June and the first thing on our list is to join the GBN’s continental memebership. We can’t wait for Gary Ardnt’s webinar in June. We were going to join sooner, but are not online as much as we would like while traveling India, Sri Lanka and Nepal and we want to be able to support everyone and give it the time it deserves. At the moment we are part of the free membership receiving the newsletter which has been very informative, but we are looking forward to upgrading when we slow down to learn from these two leading bloggers in the community.

I like the idea of a blogging network, but travel blogging is not a lucrative career, so the fees make me very hesitant to join one. I agree with Rebecca that there are a lot of free blogging communities that are out there. I would be interested to hear from Janice and Keith about why they charge for the GBN. I see the benefits of joining but what does the money go toward?

Great interview! I’m on Matador Travel. You can meet like-minded people when you’re part of a network. Plus, it’s great to connect with other travel writers.

Comment on Automate Your Twitter Tasks with Tweet Adder by Trisha Miller

It certainly looks interesting – I looked at their screenshots and even read through their manual and I may give it a try since they do offer a free trial, but I guess I’m just too fussy about what I put out there and who I follow – I don’t like the auto-follow tools (even though I know they’re supposed to help you build a big following)….I just prefer to check people out more before deciding whether or not to follow them….otherwise my twitter stream just gets too overwhelming and it’s hard to keep up with the people I really want to keep up with…..

But maybe there are parts of this program I could use without using all of it…

Comment on Simon Says “Write and Make Money” by Trisha Miller

Hey Dave – I can’t disagree with you that there are things about SimonSeeks I would most definitely do differently if I were in charge of it, and it’s true that it’s a very new (start-up) site, but it’s really not so different from many other article syndication websites (most of which also require exclusive rights to unique content) except that they do share some revenue with the author – something that most other article syndication sites don’t do…..

I haven’t submitted anything to them yet, and am just keeping an eye on them for a while before deciding if I will or won’t, but I am actively trying to find someone who has enough experience with them to give us the ‘inside scoop’ – given that they’re so new it make take a while, but I do plan to do a follow up on this one!
