The Aftermath of #TribeTuesday

Sat, Jan 2, 2010

Marketing, Social Media Tips, Tribes

Welcome back! If you have a blog, make sure to join my Facebook fan page. Tribe Mastery for Social Buzz. Thanks for visiting, and get syndicated today!

blog trafficOn the second day of the New Year my tribe gave to me… two Syndication Power Hours and one really cool tribe page! Is this song catchy or what?

There they go again. My tribes just came running through my blog and social media sites and left a wave of traffic in their wake. Comments and RT’s and tagging galore! Tribe Syndication is starting to emerge as a new spin on an old concept… people helping people but with an added twist and #TribeTuesday is just that twist. The law of reciprocity working at it’s finest.

They say that some of the best ideas are born out of necessity. If there is a need fill it. If you can monetize it then you’re golden. You may have also heard that a lot of these ideas and concepts were created by accident. Well this just so happened to be the case when I decided to start a blog and create a hub for my online marketing.

I started to look around for some blogs that I liked and wanted to emulate, a few things jumped out right away. I saw many professional bloggers and was amazed at all the activity and stuff that was on their blog. Cool widgets (I didn’t even know that that’s what they were called) and graphics. These guys were masters at blogging. You could see a lot of activity. Then I saw many more blogs that were empty or looked like a ghost town. A few posts here and there or maybe several weeks between posts or comments. There was no life to some of these blogs. This brought up a couple of concerns for me.

  1. How could I compete with those who are blogging on a regular basis?
  2. How could I keep a blog going indefinitely?
  3. What value do I have to offer others that will keep them coming back?
  4. How do I get traffic to my blog?

Now there are many great resources, books and trainings on driving traffic, but it really comes down to actually putting these concepts into play. Several factors need to happen at around the same time and if you’re new to blogging or marketing online in general your learning curve is going to skyrocket. Learn how to blog, create content… and build relationships and traffic.

The power of a blogging alliance will assist you in all these areas. A blogging alliance is a small group of people coming together to syndicate each other. There’s a specific method of tactics that we use to create the buzz for each others blogs all over the net. These ‘Syndication Power hours’ have driven more traffic to our new blogs than any other single event before… or since.

What others are saying about going tribal on Tuesdays.

Take a look at Debbie Turners post about creating a checklist for #TribeTuesday Debbie breaks down the importance of staying organized through this dynamic process of syndicating her tribe.

My fellow Tribe leader Kary Rogney shows what’s about to happen to his blog when  #TribeTuesday come crushing through. Do you think Kary is starving for Traffic? Not with over 22,000 page views to his blog since it launched. That’s less than 5 months of being online. That’s the power of a tribe.

Fellow Tribe enthusiast Kathy Jodrey tells you why #TribeTuesday is the next best thing to hit Twitter since #FollowFriday The reason is value and relationships. Unlike follow Friday Tribe Tuesday allows people to syndicate with a. The relationships that are built create a solid foundation for growing any following. Move over #FF #TribeTuesday is here to stay!

Another great master tribal leader is Michael Feil. Michael is pulling back the curtain and share a little of what goes on behind the scenes during our #TRibeTuesday power hour.

The sharing of tips and tricks and knowledge during this time that is set aside for syndication, takes the mastermind alliance concept to new levels. It’s very common for every one of us to share a new little gem that we’ve heard about this week. We also make comments about how we can improve each other’s blogs, or point out an issue that arises. Some of the benefits that come out of the Power Hours have been: accountability,  teamwork, learning and sharing of ideas.

Leave a comment for the community and share what you would do. Did this shed any light on the power of having a tribe for syndication?

    Ken, I am lovin’ your 12 day’s of Social Media Theme song! I absolutely agree, #TribeTuesday Rocks! You hit the ball out of the park when you came up with this Ken. Being a part of the Tribe Mastery community is the best thing I could have done to promote my business. The part I value most is the relationships and connections with other like minded people, as well as the fun we have during our “power hours” and the camaraderie we share. Not to mention being mentored by the best “Jedi” leaders out there (as Donny Gamble mentioned!) So kudos to you for creating this incredible community. You are the best!

    You brought the house. Way to simplify “Tribe Syndication.” That is a term that nobody has heard about, but they WILL…

    It is so incredibly simple, I can’t believe nobody else has thought of this. I’m sure there will be thousands of people doing the exact process you just outlined in the next couple of months…

    PS. I’m stalking you!!!

    Tuesdays and it will only continue to grow. I can’t imagine

    If you ask me, since the inception of Tribe syndication, there’s no reason to spend an hour by yourself and syndicate your stuff. Spend the same hour and synidicate others while they are all syndicating yours…What a novel idea? And, you get the benefit of working closely with awesome entrepreneurs.

    Great post ken… Make it a #TRibeTuesday :)

    It makes so much sense! Just like Debbie was saying, why spend an hour on your own when you can turn one-hour’s worth of work into 5 or 6 hours with your tribe’s combined efforts. Time leveraging truly at its best.

    Cant wait to learn more from your tribe Ken!
