In 2012, my personal challenge was to publish a daily post to increase the content base of this blog and increase the reader base. I managed to grow from 1,500 to 5,000 subscribers in 366 days . At the moment, I am approaching the figure of 7,000.

What started as a challenge has become a daily routine. I won't hide from you that there are always posts that are harder than others. 2013 started without a special objective. Unconsciously, I realized that I was making progress in one of the most important fields for a blogger.
Blog collaborations are the blogger's most powerful weapon
I have noticed something that I did not expect to happen in job function email list such a way. Whenever I have the opportunity to visit one of the blogs of the participants of my “Course for bloggers” I notice that there is a lot of participation in the comments field from former “students”. One might think that this is normal as long as they have participated in the same event, but the fact is that these are people who have been in different courses in different cities.
Mutual help to solve problems : the link for participants is a LinkedIn group that I created for all those who have participated in the training for bloggers in person or online. The idea is that members help each other to advance more quickly in their projects. There are already almost 250 people who receive and provide solutions and express doubts about blogging.
They help you increase your reach : Collaboration with other bloggers helps you increase your reach and reach a different audience. Even if you are the largest blog in your niche, you will never cover 100%. Gaining visibility on third-party blogs allows you to connect with new readers.
You get quality links : Link exchange is dead. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, but it needs to be done more intelligently. Don't ask a total stranger to link you. They're not going to do it in the first place. Focus on quality collaborations that may not bring you thousands of links, but a few that have more SEO value.
