DISQUS

rah · 1 year ago

love that idea, i've always had difficulty finding the aussie chick blogs
i have no ideas on the best way to implement it though, sorry!

Riayn · 1 year ago

Don't worry about not having ideas on how to implement it. It is great to hear that someone is interested in my little idea.

It could work, but I just hate anything that is gender specific

Riayn · 1 year ago

That I can understand, but women are still very much in the minority, especially when it comes to A-list blogging. Also, some women for whatever reasons feel a little intimidated asking men for help with blogging and other tech questions.

Think its a great idea, and something I have thought about for while myself.

Riayn · 1 year ago

I was hoping you might be thinking about something like this when you organised the Sydney women's blogger meet up.

I think it's a great idea too.

While you can never really know what will work and what won't, from my perspective bloggers as a whole generally like to meet/interact with others as well as learn how to promote their favourite posts or sites etc.

All it takes is a starting point - who knows where you might end up with it :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence readz.

I'd love to be a part of it... and I'm from the UK. If you need/want a hand with anything just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do ;)

Riayn · 1 year ago

Thanks Marylin. I may very well take you up on your offer.

I think you should check out BlogHer, which is exactly what you describe above. BlogHer links together female bloggers in both online and offline events.. it's a neat site!

Riayn · 1 year ago

I am a member of BlogHer, but all events are held only in the US which makes them completely unavailable to me. Also, I don't find that there is any discussion about blogging tips or helping individual members with particular issues like writer's blocks or providing guest posts if they can't post for any reason. I guess I am looking for something with more of a personal touch and a sense of community where it doesn't matter where you live.

Ok, I've seen some like blogher, but now I see what you'd like to be different. I really love the idea. Perhaps just a simple forum would work and categories could be need/offering guest posts, SEO help, etc.

Drop me an email if this gets started up, I'd love to participate.

I'd be up for it. Although personally I'd be more into an Aussie based one, I find a lot of blogs in my niche are from the states and sometimes it'd just be nice to find some more local art and blogging talent :)

I think it's a great idea. I can't tell you it will be a huge hit because you never know until you try. But if you need help I have a few hundred lesbian blog authors I could send your way!

That's a fantastic idea Riayn. I agree it would be great to have it Aussie based since there's so many American ones already. Count me in!

Tom - StandOutBlogger.com · 1 year ago

that is a great idea. I am looking to find a network of bloggers in southeast queensland.

Riayn · 1 year ago

Tom, unfortunately the network is just going to be for women only. However, Aussie Bloggers caters for Australian bloggers of all genders.
Aussie Bloggers can be found at http://www.aussiebloggers.com.au

Best of luck establishing a SouthEast Queensland bloggers network. Let me know how it goes. :)

Have you heard of www.fabulously40.com?
A social network for women over forty that allows members to blog, socialize, share information and build relationships.

While the website is geared for a certain age group, we have seen growth in members that are under 30.

Would love to hear what you think.

All the best,
Yana
