Say hello to the Blogging Tips team

Posted by on 11th Aug 2007 Site News 13 comments

I mentioned a few days ago that I have been looking for new authors for Blogging Tips. I have managed to secure a fantastic team of authors who will now be posting on Blogging Tips on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I had to turn down some applications from good bloggers as I didn’t want the new additions to be covering the same subjects.

The new authors

I hope you will join me in welcoming the following people to the Blogging Tips writing team.

I might be adding a few late additions to the team in a week or so and I also have some great guest posters lined up too.

My Role

I will still be posting most days on Blogging Tips. The new authors have freed up a lot of my time which will enable me to work on more tutorials and guides for the site. It also takes the pressure off me when I’m on holiday or when my time is limited due to other web committments. For example, I have found it hard to tweak the design because so much of my time was set aside for writing. In May I wrote about 30+ posts in advance because I was travelling for the full month, that’s something I want to do again anytime soon haha

I also believe that my posts will improve because of this change. I had the feeling I was repeating a lot of what I had said a few months ago in some of my recent posts. The new authors will not only breathe life into the blog, they will bring a wealth of experience in areas I am not an expert too.

A huge thank you

Before I go, I just want to thank Darren Rowse. My $50 ad at the Problogger Job Boards got me close to 30 emails in just a few days. Not only has it saved me a lot of time and energy, I’ve managed to get some great writers in.

If you are looking to get some guest posters for your blog or even a full time blogging position, I strongly recommend putting $50 to the side for an ad at Problogger. :)

Also, although I am not looking for any more full time bloggers at the moment, I still welcome applications for guest posts and will probably approach those who proved popular to join the main writing team when a position comes up.

As always, I’d love to hear your comments on this :)

    Fantastic news Kevin. Looks like a great list of bloggers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i am sure this is the 3rd or 4th time we are welcoming Mani to Blogging Tips.

    Treat him like the family already!

    Congratulations to all the new authors and to you, Kevin! You've always been able to write up a great amount of posts with great quality, but now things will definitely be easier on you. Your blog is already fantastic but I can't wait to see how it's going to be in the next couple of weeks.
