How to grow my Blog Community?

6 replies
Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this. I am the site creator of theartworlds It is a Blog Community for Mobile Device Innovators.

Basically it is a site for app developers to showcase their blog and build their app user base community by having their app users also blog about themselves and the app they use. This creates a more personal relationship for everyone in that app community.

I recently had a great developer who created a very popular app "Actor Genie" for the iPhone by emailing them.

Because my site is in its Beta stage does anyone have any ideas how to bring in more developers and grow this blog community faster? Thank you!

    I would start networking in forums that are designed for those type of people. There are tons of forums im sure for app developers.

    That would be #1 on my list to start.

    Indeed networking in developer forums and getting in touch with other site and blog owners in your industry.

    It would even be very worthy (once the site is ready) of a good press release which might get you picked up by any number of trade publications.

    Also I'd try and use sites like LinkedIn and other professional networking sites, trade shows etc and writing articles about what you are doing.

    Nothing fancy just good old fashioned meeting and greeting really.

      Yes Yes... I will def..second press releases and linked in. Very professional community that you should be able to hook up to people easy.

      Also, another thought. Google groups and yahoo answers. Look for the developers that are answering questions that You can connect with.
