Are we ready to party again?
Are you ready to get your party “hop” on?
It’s time to SAVE the DATE!
I am super duper excited to say that due to the success of the Grow Your Blog Series and the Blog Hop finale, thee Networking Blog Hop is going to come into play on a monthly basis. I’ve been throwing hints about it out on my FB page and Twitter this past week. The responses seem to be a resounding “Yes, Please!” What’s even more exciting is some of the opportunities this monthly hop is going to offer some of you.
Here’s how this Blog Hop is going to roll.
One Day
Once a Month
One Host
Five Co-Hosts
I will host the Blog Hop on the third or fourth Sunday of every month, along with five co-hosts. As the current months Blog Hop wraps up, the next one will begin it’s advertising and exposure with a new button and new sponsors. What’s in it for you? Well, networking, OF COURSE, but three or four of the co-host spots are going to be made available to you for a small fee of $20. The other one or two spots will be left open for me to find larger blogs with 1,000+ followers to be a part of the hop and increase exposure for all of you to GROW. What do you think? Pretty awesome, right?
Here are some exciting stats! 767 blogs linked up to the last blog hop! Over the course of the blog hop, I gained over 100+ followers and that was not required of the blog hop participants. So, you will get incredible exposure as a co-host and you will grow your readership. Please note that I did do a lot of hopping too. Regardless, even if you gained 25 new followers, that is an incredible return on your investment. Have you ever received 25 new followers from one monthly sponsorship ad?
Of course if this doesn’t interest you — you can simple swing by, link up and hop around as usual. Cool? Cool! Now, if you are interested, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions and/or concerns at kelly {at} livelaughrowe {dot} com. The spots are on a first come, first serve basis and you can only sponsor once in a six month period (and based on availability). I’d love to see blogs of all different shapes and sizes participate. We all have different audiences, readers and interests, so with new co-hosts each month, I expect to meet new people every month. If you have a blog that has 1000+ followers, please specify that in the subject line of your e-mail to ensure that I respond accordingly.
What is required of the co-hosts? As a co-host, you will be required to post the Blog Hop button on your blog in a spot where exposure is guaranteed. The blog hop button will be provided within 3-5 days of the current months blog hop coming to a close. It would be fantastic if you would post about the blog hop you are co-hosting so your readers are sure to Save the Date; however, that is optional and at your discretion. Two or three days before the actual event, the html will be provided to you for you to schedule or publish on the appropriate party day. I will ensure that everyone is already linked up to the party and listed as a co-host. Easy breezy, right?
So, sleep on it, talk to your hubby, your bloggy BFF and see if co-hosting is something you’d like to do. Regardless — I’d love for you to start spreading the {love} by grabbing this ever so chipper and springy button to put on your blog. Oh, feel free to Tweet, Google + or Stumble too. And I’ll see you on the 18th!
A great BIG thank you to 52 Mantels, C.R.A.F.T, How to Nest for Less, The Ellie Life and The Letter 4 — as they will be co-hosting the March Blog Hop.
