Here's What To Do:

Set up:
  1. Register or sign in (it's free).
  2. Complete the "Blogging Teams" section of your profile.
  3. List your blogs*.
  4. Join or create up to 3 blogging Teams. Invite your friends to join too.
  5. Subscribe to your Team RSS feed in a feed reader like Blog Riffer, which is optimized for blogging and sharing (in fact, it was built from the ground up with content curation and Blog Riffing in mind).
Regularly:
  1. Share your Team members' blog posts. (You don't have to spam your social networks -- if you're on the right Team, you'll naturally find things you'll want to share.)
  2. Comment on your Team members' blog posts.
  3. Post Blog Riffs on your blog, based on quotes from your Team members' blogs.
Optional:
  1. Guest blog for your Team members, or accept guest posts from them on your blog.
  2. Get to know your Team members. Spend a little time on video chat via Skype, Google Hangouts, or in the NextGurus.com Commons.
* Don't bother listing spam blogs, auto blogs, and other low quality blogs that no one is going to share, comment or Riff on. You won't get any benefit. In fact, they'll just make you less likely to get on a good Team.

Critical-Mass
Blogging Teams

"Together, We're Stronger" ™

A smart person once said that a rising tide lifts all boats. Blogs are the same. You want your blog lifted, right? How do you catch a ride on the tide?

Why Not?

"It might take too much time."

  • Social sharing hardly takes any time at all.
  • Nor does leaving a brief comment on someone's blog.
  • Blog Riffing can actually help you blog faster.

It's about synergy. The strength you'll get from your team is worth far more than the little bit of time you'll spend.

Join a Critical-Mass Blogging Team.

How does it work? Simple.

  • You share each others' stuff on social media (only the good stuff -- I'm not asking you to spam your followers!)
  • You comment on each others' blogs.
  • You Blog Riff on each others' blog posts.

What's "Blog Riffing"? Simply put, it's writing blog posts that are inspired by somebody else's blog posts. It's an easy way to come up with good ideas to write about, and it builds relationships with the bloggers you're Riffing on.

It's Free

Critical-Mass Blogging Teams are 100% free to anyone registered on this site (which is free).

Why am I not charging for it? First, I'll be honest -- I want my "boat" lifted too!

Plus, I know that a lot of good blogs don't naturally rise to the top without help. I want to see other good blogs lifted, so that you can have the success you deserve, and we can all find more good stuff to read.

Anyone can start a group, and anyone may apply to be a member of any group. The group leader sets the group's size limit and expectations for how often members should Riff on each other. They also approve applications to join the group.
