WANTED: Bloggers Interested in Collaborating to Increase Their Incomes

By 77 Comments

What if there were a group sharing how they make money? And helping each other. And it costs exactly nothing but your time and attention? There is – and you’re invited to join us.

Blogging has evolved a lot since this blog went live in 2008. There are now many ways that bloggers can monetize that most haven’t seen yet. This is your invitation to find out what they are.

Blogger Mastermind Skype Group

We have a Blogger Mastermind Skype group with around 100 serious bloggers in it.  There is no reason for bloggers to individually research and learn every strategy they use when many already have those skills.

Joining has no time obligations; no regular meetings.
Just pop in when you need something or to join discussions.

Many times the best way to make money can be a private program you can never find – unless someone who is already in it gets you invited aboard. We share what works, and refer paid opportunities to each other.

Skype is free to use and works on all operating systems. You can get a free account at http://www.skype.com/. Search for growmap and request I connect with you. If you don’t know how, leave a comment or send me a regular tweet to @GrowMap.

Bloggers Making Money

If your blog is sufficiently established (I can tell you if it is) you can start making money with it right away. If it isn’t, we can assist you in strengthening your numbers quickly so you can.

Adding Your Blog to Databases Brands Use

Because I work with developers of blog outreach tools I have access to those tools. That means I can add the blogs of my collaborators to make sure they are found when brands are looking for you.

That isn’t all it takes to get chosen, though. If you want to work with brands you need to make your blog PR friendly. Many of our collaborators are now so successful that they have to hire other bloggers full time to help them.

Wouldn’t you like to meet them and find out how they are making enough money to actually hire other bloggers while most have trouble making any significant amount of money at all?

There is far too much to share in one post so I’ll end by offering this quick video I just created that shows our Blogger Resources Trello board.

How Bloggers Can Join Us

If you’re a serious blogger – whether brand new or with years of experience – you can benefit from this group.  It is totally free to join and use. Both Skype and Trello are free.

Any blogger who gets involved can strengthen their own blogs and learn to make money far more quickly than they can by going it alone. Don’t be intimidated. The sooner  you join the faster you can make progress.

Please DO share this post with any other bloggers you know. If you have questions, ask me on Skype (username growmap) or leave a comment in this post.

  8. Hi Gail,I saw the video. Thank you for letting me know about the group and inviting me to join. I am very interested. Can I tell you here that I am interested? In the meantime, I made a Trello account. I have it on my computer, but I do not know how to access your group\’s information. I will also contact you on Twitter.Janice

    • Hi Janice,

      The group is on Skype and if you connect with me on Skype I can add you to the group and give you access to the Trello boards. Skype is free. When you send me a connection request to my username (growmap) mention trello or Twitter so I realize it is real. You wouldn’t believe the number of fake Skype requests I get.

    • Hi Imtiaj,

      Get your free username from Trello and send it to me via Skype. To connect with me on Skype, send a connection request to username is GrowMap. Be sure to mention my blog or Trello when you connect so I know you’re not one of the many con artists who send me requests. If you can’t use Skype for some reason, send me a tweet on Twitter. If you don’t use Twitter, you can message me on G+ or Facebook or LinkedIn.

  24. Hey there Gail,On my way over to Skype to connect. New to Skype so this will be the first time I’ve tried to connect with anyone. Then I will go to Trello and get on board (no pun intended). This is the day to take another step further away from my comfort zone. Thank you so much for the gracious invite.Donald

  25. Hello Gayle; Thanks for sharing these wonderful resources with us. I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I’m the blind blogger whose field is the amusement industry. I feel like my site is getting good traffic, but i would appreciate your opinion on my suitability to these programs. I did go ahead and sign up for trillo and post joint but i couldn’t sign up for guest crew because their site doesn’t offer a non video captcha. I know that the site needs to generate more income separate from commissions on sales. Thanks again and take care, max

  41. Sorry for the delay. Thanks for the invite! 🙂 Looking forward to it. I was disappointed that a blog post I submitted was accepted as a pitch for PostJoint, but when I turned it in they rejected it. Ah well. Just gotta find a home for it!

    • Hi Ileane,

      No idea why your comment went into moderation. Approving it now. You’re already on the boards or at least some of them. You should have three organizations:

      • Best of the Best Experts
      • Blogger Mastermind
      • Social Sharing Collaboration

      There are dozens of boards altogether, but I start everyone with just a few so they don’t feel overwhelmed. Over time you’ll have access to all of them if you don’t already.

    • Hello Anil,

      Just as you can use Skype to chat with one person, you can use it to chat with many at once. We do not “chat” about the weather or just to be chatting. We ask and answer questions, share resources, and jointly promote only the most important content produced by members.

      There are no regular meetings and no obligations. Some of us are online most waking hours and others rarely log in unless they need assistance. We do have discussions regarding best practices or when researching the best plugins or themes or ways of doing something.

      Skype has multiple ways you can quiet the beeps when others chat, so even those who are online a lot can turn off the beeps when there are discussions going on.
