Why You Should Take Part In Blog Writing Projects
I thought i'd share with you my own personal experience of entering my first ever blog group writing project over at dailyblogtips last week…
Although i initially entered just for the experience i obviously didn't realize at the time of the huge benefits my blog would receive for just taking part. Here's a list of the benefits my blog has received since entering and the reasons why i highly recommend you take part in blog group writing projects in the future…
1. It's allowed myself and other like minded blog authors to share tips and their own personal experiences. I actually shared the costly mistakes i'd made over the last 5 years or so and received some great feedback from other bloggers thanking me for sharing my own mistakes so they could avoid making the same costly mistakes themselves…
2. Through the group writing project this blog has benefitted from plenty of link love and as of today an extra 121 inbound links to the particular blog post i entered 3 Costly Internet Business Mistakes to Avoid
3. It's allowed me to build relationships with other like minders bloggers within my niche that in the future will be beneficial to all of us…
4. It has helped increase rss feed subscribers by as much as 40% since my entry started getting published on other blogs that were also taking part…
5. It has also increased traffic that i'm receiving from the search engines even though it's just been over a week since my entry was first published…
As you can see from the benefits my blog has received you can understand why i don't care about winning any of the top three $100 prizes that were up for grabs…
I highly recommend that you take part in future group writing projects that are run by the likes of darren from problogger and daniel from dailyblogtips because as you can see from my list above, the benefits are huge…
Here's a little tip for you that i've just started using that hopefully will let me know of any future group writing projects that come up. I've set up some google alerts for phrases such as "blog group writing project" "blog writing project" and "writing project"
I will also share with you on this blog any future blog writing projects i enter…

Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for the invite to take part in your group writing project it looks very interesting. Unfortunately i'll be taking a break from blogging for the next 9 days as i'm going on holiday to ibiza with my family so i won't be able to take part
Let me know of any future writing projects you run and i will gladly contribute…
Cheers
