Julie from This Gal Cooks, Deb from Cooking on the Front Burner, Tanya from Lemons for Lulu and Paula from Call Me PMc are happy to host this networking opportunity each week. Every week, we’ll also have four co-hosts join us. Interested in co-hosting? Just email us at growyourblog(at)gmail(dot)com and we will get you scheduled! What is the Grow Your Blog Networking Party all about? NETWORKING. Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership. Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog. How do you network? Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog. Do you have tips for networking? Leave a comment below! We may feature your idea at a future party! Let’s meet the hosts and co-hosts of the party!
YOUR HOSTS
-
Comment on other pages from your page. That means more exposure for you. Don’t be concerned with everyone ‘liking’ you back, just the fact that you like and comment means more exposure for you and eventually growth for your page.
-
Make it Personal – Share personal snippets about your day, ask questions, interact. Post pictures from Instagram to your page.
-
Connect Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter to your Facebook page.
-
Host a Giveaway. Rafflecoptor offers an easy set up to promote the giveaway right on your Facebook page.
-
When you share someone’s post, tag them in the status. For example
-
‘I love these Vegan Apple Berry Bran Muffins from @This Gal Cooks, find the recipe here http://www.thisgalcooks.com/2013/07/23/vegan-apple-berry-bran-muffins/’
-
Everyone loves pictures, share images. Images are ‘liked’ and ‘shared’ more than other status updates by followers.
-
Did you know you can schedule a post in Facebook? Once you add an image and status, click the clock in the bottom left of the status box. It will prompt you for year, month, day, time. Easy Peasy!
-
Facebook parties are great for exposure. When a page holds a ‘Party’, you post your image and link and the host page much like a link party on blogs. The host page then shares it and Boom! more followers! This is especially beneficial when the page is larger than you.
-
Post at different times and determine the best time to post for your audience.
Do you have any Facebook page tips? Please leave any tips or questions below, I’ll be happy to answer them.
Thank you for hosting this great party!
Hi Emily! I’m also a co-host & I wanted to make sure that I was following all of the co-hosts. I’m already following you on GFC but now I’m also following you on facebook (or “liked” you). Please return the favor when you get a chance.
Thanks

Hi Emily!
Thank you so much for co-hosting with us this week! I too was like you when I was younger. I was very shy around people I didn’t know (I still am a little but definitely not as much as I used to be)but after working in customer service jobs for about 6 years, I openend up! No people can’t believe that I used to be shy!
I hope you have a great day and enjoy your weekend. 🙂

Hi Emily! Just linked up and glad this blog hop is back. Will you have a code for your button for our sidebars? I think I had the old one on my sidebar.
