Interested in a blog swap?

[Donna]

I was wondering if any bloggers would like to participate in a blog swap.

Here is a bit more about by blog swap idea.

It's in its infancy so I'm open to tweaking it. I was trying to think about how to expose other people to my blog just like every other blogger is. I noticed that guest author posts get a lot of traffic and wondered if there was a guest blogger post if it could help increase traffic to both blogs. Hence the blog swap.

I thought about just posting the general "Hey go check out this great book blogger's blog click url" but I am more likely to pay attention and look at if I had a sample of what the blogger offered without the effort of clicking a link. So what I am asking for is a blogger to send me a post that would be something they would regularly post on their blog. I will post it on my blog and in return I will send you a post that I would have regularly posted to my blog for you to post.

Hopefully, my readers will be intrigued by the post and then visit/follow your blog and vice versa.

I think its a good idea !!

[Sharon C (Obsession with Books)]

I agree! I am very new to book blogging so think your idea is wonderful.

I already have a book swap lined up on my blog for this month. But if you and Sidne want to try it, you can see what works for you. I'm doing my next Thursday with Indie Reader Houston. We are just swapping post that are representative of what we would normally post on our own blogs to give the other blogger's readers a taste of what is on our personal blogs.

This sounds good. I'm looking for interesting content on my blog: http://louisewise.blogspot.com I'm getting a lot of hits and feeling the pressure!! (laughs)

 

Can you share your blog address so I know what sort of posts you're making? Mine are more about the writing process.

I do book reviews (more my thoughts about what I am reading). http://girl-who-reads.blogspot.com

 

I will be looking for a blog swap for May, if anyone is interested.

What a great idea! I would definitely be interested. I think it sounds like a great way to reach out to new people.

There seems to be a bit of interest for blog swapping. I don't mind organizing it. I say we swap blogs on May 19. Any one interested in the blog swap leave your url and a short description of what you blog. I will match people up for swapping. The point is to share something you would normally blog about on your blog just posting it on someone else's blog. If you would like to see what was done for the first one you can check out mine and Cassandra's blog swap.

OK Donna.

I'm an author and I like to blog about the writing world: writing tips, writing stories anything to do with writing.

No swearing, pictures/links to own blog welcome. I'm not to fussy on the length, but if it is too long I'll add a "click for more" bar. No bad spelling/grammar allowed.

I'm an eclectic reader. I read a lot of fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction, chick lit, young adult, politics and history. I don't really do mysteries or romances.

Ah! I'd love to participate, but I feel as if I should be a bit more established before I try it. Good luck to all who do!
