Hello! Just wanted to drop by and say great post; we particularly like the fact that you highlited the issue of a bloggers making an effort with other bloggers. Why not get in the habit of helping others become successful at something you’re trying to do as well – it shouldn’t be a competition and everyone will benefit from mutual effort. You make a very good point! Aleks and Sophie xx Reply
Exactly thats my point, you got it all right! Its doesn’t matter how big or small your blog is, collaboration always helps. All the best! Reply
I can admit that i was not really a regular watcher or reader of Zoe’s posts and videos but she was always mentioned somewhere, and it always made me want to look her up. Her beauty range launched and due to all the blogger publicity, it was something that i felt i wanted to buy even though i did not really know Zoe. Therefore, you are quite right that sharing the love does in fact create awareness, and what better way to get to know new people too. A lovely post. Xx Sapna recently posted…The Warming Face Mask?

Thanks for a great post. Each Vlogger/Blogger must ask theirselves this question. How to become successful and have millions of followers? I believe that Zoella has been wise with her marketing strategy. No matter the subject you need to have a strategy online. That should involve the following. Blogger Collaboration (That Zoela has done successfully) – It can be lonely being a new blogger. Your posts won’t get many visits to begin with from organic search. That is why you should approach other bloggers and ask to collaborate. Working with others is more fun, and you can share your thoughts with like-minded people. A few examples that I am working on myself: 1. Cross promotion – Write good quality blog posts on other sites in the same niche. Then link back to your site. I also invite the sites to add a quality post on my site; they can link back to their site with targeted keywords. 2. Interview other bloggers/Vloggers, they can do the same with you. 3. Comment on each others content. 4. Mention your collaborating bloggers through your social networks. They can do the same for you. I think Zoella has done each of the above very well. She promotes other sites that rank high. They do the same for her. These high ranking sites help send new visitors. Her high ranking site sends fresh visitors back to them. Google loves this and rewards each of the sites. Five bloggers working together are better than one. Great post looking forward tot he next one. http://mary-jane-melrose.weebly.com Reply
This post is spot on! Sharing other peoples posts and commenting on their blog is fun, and I also enjoy watching the bloggers grow over the time. Sharing is caring! Reply
This is so important! It happens everywhere that people are unsupportive of those around them, deeming them as ‘potential threats’ to their own success, but I agree with what you’ve said – it’s admirable about how tight-knit and supportive this YouTube group is, and I know that I personally only found out about any other Youtubers through Zoella featuring them!

Great post! I love this concept of showing love. I started blogging in January and I haven’t experienced any negative remarks yet (thank goodness), but I do feel like people should be a little more accepting – especially in the blogging community… after-all we’re all on the same little boat x http://www.sheintheknow.co.uk http://www.justgiving.com/RockiesTrek Reply
Very well said. It is so difficult to make it successful on your own as I have found. As soon as another blogger linked to my blog my stats increased. Sharing the love works! Polished Inka recently posted…Zig Zag Nail Art Reply
Really lovely post. I hadn’t considered Zoella’s tendency to feature and be featured in others work as a factor of her success, I had always put it down to a mixture of her good looks, and the type of content she was creating. All for sharing the love, even if it is a little intimidating as a new blogger to do so! elleyro.wordpress.com Reply
