Anyone interested in a winter group? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Just went through a big transition and finally settled in and looking to help promote and network again.  If you're interested in teaming up shoot me a DM (or reply and I can DM you) and we can chat.

Hey guys,

I'd be interested in a winter group.  Please include me as well.

Thanks!

I'll be re-tweeting all of your posts and make it a point to comment and share your posts on Google+.

I'm in.  I did the previous fall/winter group and thought it went well.  Although I'll admit to getting lazy the last month or so (sorry teammates!). 

As for what to do, I friended all the participants on FB and Twitter, then tried to comment and share as much as possible.  I started out strong, hitting all my teammates 2-3x a week and commenting when possible, then trailed off to weekly or less in recent history.  

In addition to the obvious social promotion you get from being in a team, you also get much more familiar with your teammates and their take on things, what they tend to post about, and I'm sure they do the same for you.  While I can't say I have formed a strong personal relationship with all my teammates, I'm much more familiar with the 8-9 blogs of my teammates and I'm more likely to share their posts long term.

Awesome – I'll put together an e-mail to everyone on Friday to get started!

Great!  I was thinking we could start now perhaps with getting into full swing around the first of the year.

OK – Everyone check your inbox – if you don't know where it is it is scroll up.  It's the first red box under the big black line that says YAKEZIE.  You'll see it brighter with a number there and an envelope.  

I didn't have everyone's e-mail addresses handy so I did it through PM.

If you didn't get a message shoot me an e-mail and I'll be sure to add you.  I'm nick (at) stepawayfromthemall (dot) com.

ok – tried twice and it's not letting me so I'm going to do it from "the google" mail.  Shoot me an e-mail at nick (at) stepawayfromthemall (dot) com and I'll put together a group e-mail to link everyone together.

I just realized that I have visited and commented at probably 2/3 of your sites this week!  I look forward to seeing the rest of you soon.

Here's a tip someone from the previous fall challenge shared:  You can create a folder in your bookmarks button on your browser and drag/drop each http address for each blog into the folder (from Nick's PM).  I called my folder Winter Yakezie Team.  I can then right click on Winter Yakezie Team and open all your blogs by selecting "open all bookmarks".  

That is how it works in Chrome anyway.  I image FF is similar.

Oops… also, I didn't think the PM sent.  I kept getting an error.  Glad you got it.  I got one PM with an e-mail address.  If you want to be on a group e-mail PM me your preferred email.
