Why Bloggers Need Community?

If you have just started your blogging career then you might be wondered with the following statement β€œThere is no blogging success without community”. Yes, it is true!

I know, most of the bloggers are having the capability to generate splendid content with proper keyword research. But just publishing the post to get organic traffic would throw you in danger of hit by Google animals. So, you need to find some minded people to read your blog posts and there by you will get referral traffic to your blog.

If the readers from referral traffic like your worthy posts, they would share them on their social networks and leave their social signals to them. In turn, you could do the same for other bloggers. These activities would result in establishing a good relationship with other bloggers and improves your online presence.

Bizsugar is a small business social network, launched in the year 2007 by DBH communications. Then Anita Campbell, CEO of small business trends and her team is taking over the leashes of Bizsugar. Like other social networking websites, the users have to create the profile with the website link, RSS link, photo and other social links.

Benefits of using Bizsugar for the bloggers

Apart from driving traffic, it has many benefits like

1. Getting Do follow backlinks for the blog

2. Strong network connections with other bloggers.

3. Gaining visibility for the impressive blog content.

4. Grasping content ideas for the future blog posts.

5. Catching prevalent blogs to perform blog commenting.

My Magical tip:

I suggest you to submit more than just your own content to get approval from the moderators in the initial stage. Whenever you find useful information related to this small business community, share it on Bizsugar users.

Conclusion:

Bizsugar is a dofollow blogging community which has more than 1 million users active participants and receives thousands of spam entries every day. A combination of a technological spam filtering and manual moderation is undertaking to avoid the spam sites. Smart and friendly moderators with diverse backgrounds around the world are making the huge part of the success of Bizsugar.

I advise the bloggers to submit the blog posts in appropriate categories to get approved by the moderators. I often see some bloggers just post their articles and they only vote for their friends. If they do so, it is not a community and it is meaningless too. They should share the blog posts of other bloggers; give vote and comments for their favorite posts. With these activities, the bloggers could expand their online reputation as a leader in their niche and drive more traffic to their blog.

  1. Blogging communities work so well when everybody is on board.

    BS seems to be a strong group of like-minded people who support one another.

    That works for me πŸ˜‰

    Thanks for sharing the breakdown!

  2. I have used Bizsugar as a social bookmarking site but never think to use it as a blogger’s community.
    You have shared all the possible benefits to use Bizsugar.
    Thanks a lot mam your guide about Bizsugar and yes for JustRetweet also πŸ˜‰

  3. Awesome Post… I don’t know about Bizsugar before πŸ™‚ I am just going to join this site.. Thanks!

  4. Awesome post yaar. I strongly agree that bloggers must participate actively with the blogger community. We can’t expect to grow while blogging alone on an island πŸ˜› πŸ˜€

  5. I’m trying to be a problogger but I never knew I was missing something, time to implement, off to bizsugar. Btw you’re the first female tech blogger I’ve ever came acros! Keep up the great work

    1. Thanks for appreciating me πŸ™‚

      Yeah, am a tech lover, interested to learn new stuffs in technology as am a communication engineer.

      Try Bizsugar with quality posts and let me know the result.

  6. Hello Nirmala,
    Never gone through such communities in my small blogging carrier. After reading post I am getting it worthy for my blog and blogging carrier. I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing πŸ™‚

  7. Hey Nirmala
    After Indiblogger, you came with Bizsuger which is another bloggers community. Yes, you said right that without bloggers community you can’t get success. we should build relationship with others bloggers.
    Thanks for giving such a useful information.

  8. I am very sorry to say that bloggers community can help you to grow as a blogger but it does not bring targeted traffic to your site, which is ready to consume your product specially , if you are in affiliate marketing or trying to sell your very own product. In this case i would like to say only traffic coming from search engine are useful for you. A Good article for all bloggers who wants to expand their reach. Thanks for posting this wonderful post. Keep it up.

    1. Ambika Choudhary Mahajan

      Right, Rakesh Sir.
      I totally agree with you.
      But doesnt Google like posts which get a lot of interaction from readers?
      If I am a member of lots of communities and get lots of comments on my site, wont it seen as a positive signal by Google?

    2. Yeah, agree with you Rakesh πŸ™‚

      But blogging communities would help the bloggers to save their blog from Google animals, right?

      Getting organic traffic alone would make your blog to hit by Google Panda algorithm.

      So getting minded traffic is also important to get Good PR and SERP.

      What you say?

  9. BizSugar is definitely a worthy community and worthy enough to put your efforts. However, I find may friends got their submissions deleted frequently. So, it is good to make sure your post is related to business and good enough to be listed in BizSugar.

  10. Hello Nirmala,
    What a lovely review about bizsugar. You should get credit for this πŸ™‚

    I am a bizsugar member and i must confess that they are doing well in driving traffic to ones blog. they are my 10th source of getting traffic from.

    P.s. I never know that you are also in bizsugar. I would like to invite you to a voting group community where your post can be easily voted for. if interested, do let me know via Facebook. πŸ™‚

    1. Oh, that’s really great Baba, sure will catch you through Facebook to get the details of the voting group.

      Yeah, i recently joined there and getting little traffic with it.

      Thanks for your great appreciation, keep visiting here πŸ™‚

  11. Bizsugar.com is not a bloggers’ community but just a social sharing site for small business owners. It doesn’t throw diverse communication options like bloggers.com which I believe was the best of all the bloggers’ community next only to blogcatalog.com. Unfortunately, it was forced to close.

    I recently discovered a Philippines based bloggers community which you can use to promote your blog posts.
    http://glipho.com/

    For Indian bloggers exclusively, Indi Blogger (http://www.indiblogger.in/) is the best.

    1. Accept your views Malathy πŸ™‚

      But Bizsugar is really working for me to improve my blog posts visiblity by getting new readers and I used to grab new blog post ideas from there.

      As the Bizsugar moderators never accept the low quality posts, it is a good opportunity for me to have a look at some worthy posts.

      Even am driving traffic with Bizsugar πŸ™‚

  12. Hey – Thanx for sharing about bizsugar community. I never knew about this earlier though I have extensively used Blogger and Indiblogger. Don’t get much time to spend on blogging communities but still it makes sense to join a few of the good ones and keep sharing and exchanging. Will take a look.

    1. Welcome to my blog Maninder,

      To save your blog from Google animals, it would be better to join in communities and get good referral traffic with it.

      Glad you’re gonna look at Bizsugar, share your experience later πŸ™‚

  13. No Doubt, Bizsugar is a nice blogging community for blogging lovers but after attending Indiblogger meet which was organized by Indiblogger.in , I am the fan of that community.

    1. Yeah, Indiblogger is a nice community for the bloggers to get good exposure. But with Bizsugar, you would increase the visibility of your blog posts.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, keep coming here πŸ™‚

  14. I’ve been using BizSugar for couple of months and I must acknowledge that the experience is good so far. Recently, I stopped sending articles but I’ll be continuing it asap.

  15. Thank you Nirmala for this wonderful review and a special thanks for the magical tips. It must be really working and build reputation.

    I’m using BizSugar quite often. Whenever I have any new post related to business, I submit there. However, it is better not to post every new ones. BizSugar removes the submissions that do not meet their standards.

    1. same here. biz sugar do not always accept my articles unlike blogengage. i am more active in blog engage than biz sugar because of the restrictions that biz sugar has. but whenever i have articles that fits biz sugar’s standards, i submit my articles

    2. Thanks for leaving your valuable comment Suresh πŸ™‚ Hope you’ve stick with Bizsugar Suresh! yes, this is your second comment for my Bizsugar post πŸ™‚

      I too used to submit my posts and other worthy posts to it. My traffic has increased a bit with this.

      Yeah, they would reject the low quality posts and so suggested my readers to submit good quality posts to get approval from the moderators.

  16. Top fourth traffic source !!! its good to submit posts to such sites… i will also try bizsugar , Thanks for sharing))

  17. Hi Nirmala,
    I wouldn’t agree more. Blogging communities are the key to any successful blogger these days, and bizsugar is one of such communities. I make use of this wonderful community and I can surely tell you that it works wonders. Thanks for sharing.

  20. You provided a good summary of bizsugar. I recommend it to freelance writers and bloggers, as it’s the perfect community to be involved with. There are many ways to gain benefits from the platform, besides the obvious back link.

So what should I do now to submit another one.Kindly let me know

    1. Hi Vino,

      Welcome to my blog and glad to know that my blog had impressed you. I would say that “Bizsugar” is an awesome community to network with other bloggers. I am using it from long and even I used to generate post ideas from there.

      But it is a strict community to filter out the spammers. So, if your account is verified, they you can promote your blog posts there. To get approval, submit some quality articles over there instead of submitting your blog post. If you are a genuine blogger and not getting approved for your account, mail me at [email protected]. I’ll try to convey your interest of joining in Bizsugar to moderators.

      Hope my reply makes sense and help you to join in Bizsugar πŸ™‚
