A Message to Bloggers Who Always Give Back to The Community

December 16, 2010 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Hesham Zebida

I never thought there was “Me” or “I”! I never thought I did it alone, and I will never forgot those who helped and supported me all the way up to blogging!

Each one of them has a story, a nice story. Together, we worked hard to build a magnificent blog community to share our ideas and educate ourselves as bloggers, we we had a hope and a dream to create a safe and rewarding spot on the internet for bloggers, and to open a window for those who need a blogging hand. Here we are, after a year and a few months of hard blogging, we’ve reached the sky of the blogosphere, and we have created a popular blog! Today and everyday I am grateful for those who helped me starting up FamousBloggers.

I would like to thank everyone who added and still adding value to our community! You are so many that I really can not list in one blog post, I would prefer to write a book about you, and I really wish I can!

Special Thanks to our Blogging Team

I know I’ve should done this long time back, but.. Well.. I know you, and you know me! I am sure that no one of you is waiting for any of this, but it’s a feeling inside of me to each one of you that I must express!

One year passed since we started to blog together, work together and grow our business together, I don’t remember any of my blog posts that mentioned our blogging team, what a shame! I should wrote this a year back, but here I am trying to make it up, reminding myself with my duties toward bloggers who are on the top of many FamousBloggers blog supporters, those who never let me down even once!

TJ McDowell says:

Interesting that you did this post now. I just saw a tutorial on seomoz talking about ways to get links, and one of them was to link out to other professionals in your sphere. Congrats on the success of FB!
- Hesham says:
  
  TJ, they are not ONLY professionals in my sphere, they are the ones who carried this blog over the last year to it's success, their names were in the about us page (most of them) since more than year ago, we have done so many things together and I am completely familiar with them as one team! This by the way explains why I use the work "we" :) Yes, I've knew about this since two years back, linking to bloggers in your sphere could lead to your success, especially if you list the upcoming bloggers, this is why you don't see here a list for those who are already popular! P.S. There is a very nice blogcast over blogcastfm.com with Tyler Tervooren about How To Build A Rabid Fan Base with Tyler Tervooren, he is talking about this in particular, listen to it if you have a 19 minutes, it's really awesome! Thank you AJ for stopping by, I really appreciate you as a member of the community, and I wish you a great success at 2011
  - TJ McDowell says:
    
    Hesham, Thanks for the link to Tyler's blogcast. Listening to it now. I'm definitely glad I've come across the FB community. Learned a lot, and met some talented people.
Tom says:

Well done Hesham! I know a lot of the success of this blog is due to the great people on this list, but the way you have built a community around this blog is amazing. Can't wait to see where you take it in 2011!
- Hesham says:
  
  Hey Tom, The more it gets popular the more harder to manage it, so.. I will make plans, good plans, and I will set next to you watching where it goes in 2011 :) Thank you my friend for your support, you are truly from the first class Tom!
Tia says:

Thanks to you, Hesham! For providing a place for people to gather and share. Your blog has helped launch a lot of bloggers and you deserve a lot of credit for that! Cheers, Tia
- Hesham says:
  
  Hey Tia, everything was really planned to go exactly this way, it's even better than I though it will be, it's really amazing to have everyone around, and I hope we will grow more and more next year together! Thank you so much for your great and incredible and continues support!
Kristi says:

Thanks for including me in this post! You've done a lot for the blogging community as well - awesome contest, great product reviews, and bringing together a great bunch of authors to keep bringing great content. So thank you! :)
- Karan says:
  
  I second that Kristi.
  - Hesham says:
    
    Thank you Karan for stopping by, my wishes to you!
- Hesham says:
  
  Ah... Let's see what 2011 have for us , it should be a crazy blogging year :)

- Hesham says:
  
  You just cook and we will be happy to eat :) Looking forward to another big success at 2011
DiTesco says:

I am blushing Hesham for such a wonderful thought. I have no doubt in my mind that our friendship will last 4ever :) I would like to take this opportunity to thank you as well for all the support you have given me and simply for being there when I needed you, regardless if it was just for a small attention or a piece of advice. One thing is certain, my blog would not not be where it is now if it were not for your tremendous support. FamousBloggers has gone a long way and there is no doubt that this wonderful community have helped in various ways. But lets face it, you made this happen and I wish you continued success in the future. You can always count on me my friend. Happy 2011!
- Hesham says:
  
  Ahh... I remember the days when we was connecting for the first times, and making plans and stuff... sweet days buddy :) I wish 2011 will be great year of success for you and your business
  - DiTesco says:
    
    Oh do I remember. It goes way back, since you where before the USA, haha. Great times indeed, and I am sure we will have more to remember by in the near future ;-) All the best and great 2011 for you and your love ones.

Kevin says:

I'd like to be a part of a blogging team someday or maybe my own team :) 2011 is the year where all dreams come true. This is the year for me. Here I come!
- Hesham says:
  
  Teaming up is great, it speed up the growing process, FB is a great example of that! I am sure you can do it , it just take time and effort, so if you have the passion you will be there soon :) I wish you great 2011
  - Kevin says:
    
    That's going to be one of my goals in 2011 is to find a team of dedicated bloggers to work and grow with me.
    - Hesham says:
      
      What an excellent goal for the New Year! Excellent.. See you on the top then :)
      - Kevin says:
        
        yep! see you there. Thanks for being a friend on FB :) I got a question. It seems like when I reply to comments from my blog the visitors are not getting my reply comment on their email? I'm just a beginner wordpress user, is there suppose to be an option for that? or it's automatic? or they're not interested in replying back?
        
        Hesham says:
        
        So sorry for the late reply! There is a plugin called Comment Reply Notification, this will do the job!
        
        Kevin says:
        
        oh no it's ok :) I went through the plugins and found it. Thanks. Have a Merry Christmas!

Hi Hesham, I just say; Thanks too many good articles from you and your Blogging Team, it has been many new and good things over the year for me. I hope you and they are going to delivery more interesting articles next year.
- Lennart Heleander says:
  
  Hi Hesham, I forgot one thing, there is one thing that some of your Blogging Team should do with their blogs, it is to be do-follow and have a top comments list on the homepage. It had been more interesting to read their articles and give comments.
  - Hesham says:
    
    Haha.. I think they have read your comment :) they should received the message by now! I am the one who should thank you for being a loyal reader and active commenter in our community, and I wish you good luck with and more success for your business at the coming year!
