Bloggers Toolkit: Passing on Help with Gratitude

June 25, 2007 by Liz 13 Comments

We Are Experienced

Who knows the real figures? Not every blog is indexed. Thousands of bloggers start blogging all over the world every minute. I’m sure that many could be like I was — thinking this stuff has got to be easy and finding it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

Drew McLellan has a project to help new bloggers who are feeling like that. He’s compiling a toolkit — a list of blogs that new bloggers can turn to when they start out — a bloggy version of the SOB NEW BLOGGER PAGE. He’s asking for our help. He said.

Anyone who is interested, create a post listing a few blog sites (and maybe give a word or two as to how you’d categorize them) that:
New Bloggers Toolbox

  1. Are chock full of practical tips
  2. Act as a living lab on how to write compelling blog posts
  3. Demonstrate how to build a community
  4. Teach marketing tools
  5. Are welcome wagons – bloggers who spotlight newbies

Drew’s Bloggers Toolkit
Converstations (chock full of practical tips)
CK’s blog (compelling blog post examples)
Viral Garden  (demonstrate how to build a community)
Lonely Marketer (teach marketing tools)
Successful & Outstanding Blogs (bloggers who spotlight newbies)

Additions to The Bloggers Toolkit

    DailyBlog Tips (chock full of practical tips)
    The Copywriting Maven (compelling blog post examples)
    Come Gather Round (demonstrate how to build a community)
    Blogopreneur (teach marketing tools
    The Good Blogs (bloggers who spotlight newbies)

There are so many more blogs that could be here. I know. I know. If you can, write a post like this one and link back to Drew, so he can find it when he needs to compile them.

Drew’s doing a generous thing with this project. He’s offered us a chance to participate. We can “give back with gratitude,” through the links we choose to pass on. Let’s build a list that will help new bloggers and serve our readers at the same time.

We were all new bloggers once, and someone helped us. It’s nice to have this chance to do the same.

Thank you, Drew, for this idea and for including my blog on your list.

Having a hard time finding focus?

Having a hard time finding focus?

It can be hard to find focus sometimes. A few months ago, I was talking with a colleague who was having a hard time finding focus in their work. They spoke of feeling pulled in multiple directions and of many obligations — both at work and with their family. As I listened, I could hear […]

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend. We were sharing stories from days gone by about each of our lives. We hopped from one story to the next — based on what each of us were sharing. It was really an incredible discussion as we were each learning from the other […]

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

Everyone feels lost sometimes. I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t been lost in their head at one time or another — even those folks overachieving all over the Internet. We all find those moments that we wonder about who we are and what we want. But the question is not whether everyone gets […]

Getting Past Fear

Getting Past Fear

I felt the more embarrassing fear of people’s judgment. When I decided it was time to write again, I avoided the computer for the longest time. On the rare occasion that I managed to sit myself down to write, I’d get caught up answering email or reading articles around the web, not doing writing I […]
