October’s been a bit of a busy month for my blogging. I made a decision to DoFollow my comments on 1 October. About the same time, I decided to pony up the whole $2/month to join the ProBlogger forums. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and I’ll give you a few bits of info if you’re thinking about joining:
- Just Join. It’s only a few bucks a month, billed monthly, so if you don’t use if for a month or two, you can cancel and only be out a few bucks.
- Don’t expect miracles. The site’s a few weeks old now. There are quite a few people jockeying to become leaders and some are very helpful. Many, however, are just posting to build their post numbers and aren’t contributing too much. I’m probably guilty of this in some cases.
- You’ll get some traffic, especially if you really get involved, make insightful comments, and participate in some of the challenges, like creating a list post.
- There are going to be some growing pains. Right now there are 3K users, plus or minus. There are 350K users registered at SitePoint. Be patient.
My overall take is that, especially at $1.95/month, it’s worth the money. I’ve certainly received decent advice, a bit of traffic, and made a few friends that might lead to guest posting or guest posters.
