Networking is one essential components to successful blogging. And while social media, guest posting and other network opportunities are important to building a brand, creating a unique network which brings together important bloggers offers an opportunity to harness the power in numbers in a niche. Having built a successful blog network called the Double Duty Divas which gathers some of the best review sites and mom blogs on the web, Cecelia and Bridgette offer those considering their own network useful tips and ideas on how to get started and grow the network. Unlike forum sites which connect members to discuss topics and form groups, the purpose is to gather a pre-define group allowing members ready access to cross-promotional opportunities. "Harnessing Power in Numbers" means sharing resources, cross-promoting and helping other network members to grow their sites as they reciprocate. From identifying the niche, setting goals and growing the network to creating authentic bonds that see fellow bloggers as a resource rather than competition, "Creating a Blog Network" covers all of essentials to get bloggers on their way to becoming network owners.
