Blogging Buddy Groups Now Forming - Social Success Story

I have to share a great story with you that demonstrates the power of social networking. Recently I posted about 5 Ways a Blogging Buddy Can Help You Blog More Consistently. Since my blog content is syndicated to my Facebook wall, the post was immediately published there as well. I also posted a question on my wall asking how often people were posting on their blog. The question generated over 30 responses.

The powerful part is that people on my Facebook page started connecting with one another seeking out blogging buddies. A couple of days ago I got this note from Eydie Stumpf, the first to post her request, about her experience with the blogging buddy conversation:

Wanted to share a little story - it's a result of your Blogging Buddy status update a couple of weeks ago.

I commented on your post about having a blogging buddy and that day I received 2 requests to be my buddy. One in Seattle and one in Holland. The guy in Holland had another request from someone in Spain. So, on Wednesday we will be having a Skype conversation with the 4 of us and we're already talking about this being a type mastermind group!

Also, the gal in Seattle will now be part of my VA team. She has skills that I am lacking as wasn't able to add as a service. It was an empty hole in my business. Jaime is a stay at home mom who loves creating custom blogs. We talked on the phone and she's so neat! We've already collaborated on one of my client projects.

Thanks for your post that day - its the power of Facebook in action!

On my profile today, several posts showed up...

If you haven't been convinced that participating on social networking sites can be beneficial to your business, this should give you pause. Eydie not only has a new business partner and can expand her service offerings, but now four people from three countries are helping each other be more successful and there's no telling what they will create together.

I love success stories like this! Looking for a blogging buddy? Make your request and see what happens...blog on!

Hi Denise, Thank You so much for what you have started. I am part of Eydie's Group that you spoke about above. I would have never connected with these wonderful people! I am excited about the journey with my new blogging buddies!

Thanks Again, Denise!

Thanks, Denise!!!! You're article, like you, is amazing! And since our first blogging buddy call, Jaime has had some more amazing things happen to her! I truly feel that because we all generated so much positive energy, the Universe will bring more success our way!

Woop Woop! This is so exciting! I have been lacking confidence to post to my blog for the past few weeks. Now I have a group to support me and my finders are back on the keys!

I can't thank you enough Denise.

Found this new company, few colleagues have used them recently. The company is Mantra Hospitality and they focus on better business solutions for clients in the service industry. Figured I’d pass this on. They have a free newsletter that just started.
