Blog Engage – What’s in it for You

I’m not sure if it was a matter of focusing on other projects in work and life or just some innate conservatism, but the fact is, I was late in jumping on the social media promotion wagon.

When Facebook and Twitter started out, I just didn’t have the attention span for learning new tricks (does that make me an old dog?) I kept waiting and waiting, until the buzz was so loud, I just had to do it. Now, watching the rate at which my main Twitter account @israelimom is getting followers, I sometimes wish I’d started out much earlier, around when Twitter started.

My point being – with social networks, getting in early is a good idea. And with that in mind, I’d like to invite any blogger reading this to join Blog Engage. Blog Engage is like a social bookmarking network for bloggers. Once you publish a new post, you submit it to Blog Engage where fellow bloggers can see it and vote for it.

We all like lists, right? So here are six reasons why you should join Blog Engage -

1. Blog Engage is an active and well-moderated system. With new submissions pouring in, everything is carefully monitored and spammers get the boot, leaving more room for quality blog posts. Brian, the owner and manager, is very attentive and if you see something out of place and let him know, it’s handled right away.
2. You can promote as many blogs as you like. If it’s a real blog post and not spammy, you can submit it. It all goes under your profile, allowing your peers to check out your work across several blogs.
3. It’s an active and interactive community. I have discovered a wonderful group of fellow bloggers who interact with each other over blog comments, cross-posts and over Blog Engage too. Join in and gain new quality readers and commenters.
4. Direct links to your posts. Yes, I realize for many people this is the best part of Blog Engage. Your submission gets a direct dofollow link from Blog Engage. Deep linking is always a good thing for your SEO!
5. Revenue Sharing. Personally, I don’t use this feature, but it is available. Blog Engage displays ads next to your listing and you can get your share of the revenue.
6. You’re right on time! Going back to my first point in this post, this is just the right time to be joining Blog Engage! You’re in early enough to enjoy a lot of exposure and gain a stand in this fast evolving community.

So, what are you waiting for? Join Blog Engage, and become an active participant in this thriving and fast growing community! And don’t forget to add me as a friend!
