Blogging is not a Single Player Game, Why you still Competing with Me?

March 20, 2010 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Hesham Zebida

Blogging Lessons

Making Money Online and related niches has a very high competition on the internet, and still there are so many blogs created everyday by newbies.

I am going to ask you a few questions as you might be a blogger friend, blog reader or visitor, and if you got an answer I will be glad to hear it. Also I am going to ask myself a few questions and try to answer them because maybe you are wondering! So this post is to give some information that I really want our readers and visitors to know about.

Remember when I invited you to work together?

Before you read this, I want you to know that I don’t mean a specific person or a blogger.

I -with all respect- mean everyone received my open invitation to join our Famous Bloggers Team and didn’t respond. I mean everyone who read this post and don’t learn something about cooperation from it, of course if you are new to our blog community then you probably don’t know about this, so smile 🙂 now you are going to know!

I started to do interviews with bloggers to get to know them better while working on Famous Bloggers project, I have created the FBC (Famous-Bloggers-Club), I invited 100 active bloggers to work together, I meet with great bloggers who joined the club!

Time goes, and I created FamousBloggers.net blog 5 months ago and connected it with some other related projects, accounts, pages and services to help me growing the community and the blog rank and serve our FBC club like:

  • MMO Social Bookmark and networking site
  • Famous Bloggers on Facebook
  • Famous Bloggers on Twiter
  • Famous Bloggers on Flickr
  • Famous Bloggers on Squidoo

So, when I first invited my friends bloggers to join me on this journey more than 5 months back, I wanted to unite our efforts because I was setting a big goal, it’s a long term blogging goal, and I knew that I will move to another country and probably it’s going hard for me to get a fast decent full time job, so I decided to involve myself more in blogging and became a full time blogger, I was not kidding, I was not thinking to abuse anyone, I never asked anyone to work on my blog and forget about his/her blog, I just asked you to add your blogging power to mine!

Blogging is not a Single Player Game

My idea was very simple, and this is the first time I write about it, it’s simple as “Creating one strong blog that can compete and reach the top”, and then we can use it to serve all our blogging goals, community, readers, costumers, ranks, traffic… etc.

I believe that it’s not easy to work alone in a very high competitive atmosphere, so… if everyone start to work alone and compete with others in the same community we will be doing a very big mistake!

Some of my friends I contacted earlier when I started this blog, they didn’t have enough time to join me, most of them were busy with their blogs, offline life and some other stuff, and I completely understand why they couldn’t be part of our team, so no problem with that!

But, when I think about other who are competing each other while they can cooperate, I just feel they are taking the wrong path, some of you will think it’s better for them to work on their own blogs and concentrate on their own goals, but to where you think they are taking their blogs with out cooperation and uniting with others?

Are you a Blogger Team Player?

If you check our about Famous Bloggers page, you will find out who are the members of our team, those who worked so hard to give credits to this project, so there no words can reward them back for this great work.

Of course not all them are active recently, probably for personal reasons or they are busy with their own blogs, so… no worries, I give always excuses to our team but not for ever!

So, at the end of this month I will be updating you with some new members on the team, as I am doing some communications with a few awesome and very active bloggers who want to join us, and I am sure you are going to love their work.

Can I join Famous Bloggers Team?

Why not? If you have the welling to join us and be an active member of our team, we don’t mind at all, drop me an email and let’s talk about it, and don’t worry we don’t bite 🙂

What is the future of FamousBloggers blog?

Thinking about the future of Famous Bloggers blog is not easy at this level, to be honest planning the future of this blog, is going to be more harder than before as I want to find the best deal for it, so the coming six months is going to be hot!

The work now should be more harder than ever, because we are competing for real this time with top niche sites, and I need great help, ideas and feedback from all my friends, and supporters more than ever, and I will try my best to respond to you.

    Great Post. Heading over to read more of them..

    Excellent post. Many offline businesses align themselves with organizations set up in their particular industry (eg: Chambers of Commerce, Plumbers Federation, etc) and benefit from sharing ideas with their competitors. Online I cannot see any reason for not doing the same. In the short time I have been developing sites in the health and relationships niches I have obviously also followed many who are active in the IM niche. What I have noticed is that many highly successful affiliates owe their success to the amount of information they share for free with others. I believe the old adage "the more you give the more you shall receive" is a principle worth following. BTW I got here by being on Ana's list (www.trafficgenerationcafe.com) and you have her featured in your current competition.

    I do fifteen blogs don't have time to keep up with them all, but loving what i hear.
  4. Vijay says:
    Hi Hesham, I must admit that you write beautifully. I loved the 'tone' flowing through it. This capability does not get earned in a day. It requires practice, practice and practice to pen a few lines. Though, the overall effort in bringing together "Blogging is not a Single Player Game" is admirable, yet I donot think many gentlemen will relish this recipe. I will try to pen my own views some other time as I donot have any blog for the present. Thanks.
  5. kenneth says:
    The idea of group blogging is good, but I have no concept how to do. Most bloggers seems to would like to write for his/her own blog rather than a group one. And when the subject of the website is not popular, it is very hard to find the blogger who has the similar interest. I just go around to see how other people do it.
    • Joshua Pitts says:
      I completely agree! I myself prefer to write on my own blog, but on occasion I do write on other peoples blogs. I just feel more secure on my own blog, as if it were my home. Also, group blogging could get complicated, because what if a conflict starts to happen within the blog? .-= Joshua Pitts´s last blog ..Good and Bad Ways to Advertise =-.

    Hi Hesham, I never really got the point thoroughly in the article but when i took a closer look on the picture i knew what you mean, I will be interested in joining the famous bloggers club (I never knew invitation was open before), you have helped me develop my blog and i know that one good turn deserves another, also why don't we all get there in one month with unity than get there in one year singlehandedly.

    I did not get an invite to FBC... that is okay though. I plan to be a team blogger here.

  10. Suresh Khanal says:
    As a new blogger its hesitating due to the shy, if I am worth offering or expecting to partake with a team highly polished and dedicated. I believe I need to refine more and grow a bit up to announce the existence. Though I have heard a lot about MMO, I did not get sufficient time to signup and use the service. Its much time consuming to manage multiple social networks. Just been a kid in twitter, digg and blogEngage. Now I'm going to join MMO. .-= Suresh Khanal´s last blog ..Will Twitter ban me for following too many =-.
    • Nile Flores says:
      A suggestion if you have not already done it: Use your browsers bookmarking system into folders. You can put all your social networks in one, your social bookmarking sites in another, sites you love to visit, and another for sites you want to visit when you have time. That is how I organize mine. It really is nice because I have a lot of web to surf each day...lol .-= Nile Flores´s last blog ..There Was A Funeral For IE6, So Why Are We Still Designing For It? =-.
  11. DiTesco says:
    Hehe, I'm one of those that have been involved in too much offline duties. But I totally agree with you, to survive the sphere in blogging today and in the future, a united and cooperative team is the best and intelligent way to go. Going solo is like a "single" player trying to stand out and win a game that is made for a team. That image says it all. I'll find more time to get more involved Hesham and anyone who is really serious and interested in succeeding should do the same. After all, FamousBlogger is giving you the chance, all you have to do is be part of it... .-= DiTesco´s last blog ..How To Discover Your Keywords On Search Engines =-.
  12. Andrew says:
    If you want your blog to be successful...you cannot do it on your own. Building relationships is as fundamental as having unique quality content. Hesham, you could have a best selling book/product if you were to create one from what you setout to do and have achieve here at Famous Bloggers.

    Loved the article Hesham. And yes I think it's sad that so many people try to get where they want to be by themselves. It's a lot harder. And by connecting to others you will always get the help you need in the end. And as you know I would love to join the team. I will be posting another article once I am back from Italy. Btw. I didn't know you had so many blogs ;) One blog is enough for me :P .-= Julius Kuhn-Regnier´s last blog ..The 3 Unwritten Rules of Blogging =-.

    Hi, this is Jeremy - and this is my first time commenting. So, "hello!" I just wanted to say I am glad there are others out there who view online websites/blogging as a cooperative effort. There really is so many people out there and we could all benefit from the strength as a whole concept. I love what you've done with your 'Famous Bloggers Team' - you've done a great job with it. I found your site from infopreneur.com and it's good to see the large community of folks. I'm relatively new (almost 2 months now) in this space. Love your site design with all the icons you have for things. .-= Jeremy Johnson´s last blog ..The Insightful Valerie Mondesir =-.
  15. John Sullivan says:
    Hesham first I was going to say that before I hit read more I was struck by the strength of the design man totally awesome. Then as I read I realized that I'm guilty and knew about your move and although we have crossed paths many times and are actually not far from each other when considering the size of the planet I want to say sorry that I have let you down and am offering to work with you together for one hour everyday for free to help each other and get you to your goals quicker. I have the time and I know we can get a lot done :) So let's start Monday and I will dedicate an hour on your sites and talk with you about what we need to do to get you where your going FASTER :) Thanks If you lost my number tweet me and I will DM .-= John Sullivan´s last blog ..Resources for bloggers =-.
