What to know about the Triberr Tribes that I am building
What works for building small blog-promotion communities, as well
As promised, I will conclude this three article series on blog promotion and developing Triberr tribes well with how to get help with tribe-selection, assuming that none of my tribes are just right for you. This applies to the majority of bloggers, so no hard feelings, either way, please. In fact, when I cannot offer an applicant to one of my tribes a place, I have been speaking with them and helping them decide if blog cross promotion ad sharing is really right for them, and if so, making a wise entry into Triberr (via the right group or “tribe”), and getting the most out of what’s possible, using my knowledge of and connections in the Triberr community.
In this article, let me tell you what you should know about my tribes, whether you are considering applying or, just to see what works for developing a cohesive, on-brand, targetted feed tribe. First, I will provide a run-down on the tribes I have created, a brief look at their themes and requirements, and links that non-Triberr members can use to peruse the full descriptions and requirements.
My non-closed Tribes, with space for a few more bloggers each are listed below, along with a partial list of requirements. Please review “Member Requirements” (from the links provided) carefully before selecting a good fit for your blog and Twitter account:
Slammin’ SEO
We blog on SEO, blogging, monetizing blogs and sites, platforms, plugins, widgets, services, ideas, web tech, and a bit of social media. We just started, but already reach 33,000 with our first four members. For those with a good blog but small Twitter following, some pro bono SEO work can get you in Slammin’ SEO. Email me with your blog URL and Twitter handle, and kindly suggest what you might be able to bring to the table. See what we’re about and who we are.
Japan Networking
We are Japan bloggers who blog in English. Original content and a Twitter following of 5,000 or more will get you serious consideration for this tribe, which currently reaches 143,000 and has 8 members. See what we’re about and who we are.
The Business of Change
This tribe focuses on entrepreneurship and consulting, solopreneurship, and related topics. This blog promotion group is tight, supportive, collaborative and as such, is pretty tough to enter. We have grown beyond 15 members and a reach of over 350,000 in Twitter, and consider new tribespeople blogging on starting up, business coaching, tips and tools of social media, with Twitter accounts with 10K+ Twitter followers. When our reach grows to 500K we will probably only consider bloggers with Twitter accounts with high true authority (ask – Klout alone doesn’t cut it for me) and over 25K followers. See what we’re about and who we are.
Social Media Moguls
We reach 238,500 with just 3 members, and look for prominent names in social media with Twitter followings of 50,000+. See what we’re about and who we are.
Social Media Makers
We reach many, we have high Klout, solid social media and tech and social networking blogs and due to all of us carrying a volume of Triberr tweets on our Twitter accounts, this tribe is all but capped off. Please be Ben Parr or Pete Cashmore himself or nearly as prominent to avoid me having to gently explain the problems with including you in this tribe. But keep your ego in check; while your blog may be in the AdAge top 50, Klout 80+, and last book on Oprah’s reading list, we are all fairly prominent, and the tribal reach is currently the highest of any Triberr tribe. See what we’re about and who we are.
