Comments on: Relationships That Will Take You To The Top http://www.sitesketch101.com/relationships/ An Artistic Approach to Online Business Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:11:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Derek Jensen http://www.sitesketch101.com/relationships/#comment-20001 Derek Jensen Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:07:36 +0000 http://www.sitesketch101.com/?p=2781#comment-20001 This would also be referred to as the 'secret' blogging alliance. I have always been a strong believer in that relationships are key and what I have noticed is that when I connect with people that share the same goal or mindset there really have just become my friend. What I have always been intrigued in doing with another blogger is a co-project. Like starting a blog together with another person or coming out with a physical product together. My strengths that I offer are my open ideas and opinions and the willingness to always help out the best I can. My weaknesses are that I always question myself and get easily side tracked and need help staying focused on what I really need to be doing.

What type of cooperation are you looking for? Plus, remember that another blogger doesn't have to be in your same niche to help you and share ideas with. One of my best blogging buddies writes in a different niche than I do and we help each other nearly every day. Robomaster –> What are you wanting other bloggers to do for you?

Many of the peers I get to know have differences (such as not being able to speak English, having different goals for their blog, or being in a irrelevant niche to what I blog about) that makes it very hard for us to work together. How do you find people who are in the same niche as you and have similar levels of traffic? .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/coolappsite/~3/56qv93eVe_o/">The Recipe to an Awesome Webapp</a> =-.

Keep meeting new people and focus on what you can bring to the table to make their experiences better. I made a couple of friends by helping them with their blog templates for free and now we chat and give each other ideas all the time. Focus on what you can do for them and not what they can do for you. Robomaster –> It takes time. Keep meeting new people and focus on what you can bring to the table to make their experiences better.

And often that insecurity leads to the fact that they won't provide that kind of honesty for you because of their fear that they will offend you. jan geronimo –> It’s difficult because not many people are strong enough to let you be brutally honest about their site and still keep smiling.

I like how you phrased that, "Negative feedback is the world holding your feet to the fire, with the hope you'd strive to get better." That's exactly how I feel. We need to stop getting upset and start getting stronger. jan geronimo –> Exactly.

It doesn’t offend me if someone lets me know that they hate something I’ve done..." Exactly. Blogging buddies need to be more open to honest and well-meaning criticisms. If you're really driven to excel it will benefit you if pay equal attention to the negative feedback as well as the positive ones. Negative feedback is the world holding your feet to the fire, with the hope you'd strive to get better. But of course I'm disarmed too by highly supportive friends and readers by the way. .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Writingtoexhale/~3/Ql0Otj5QOW8/metrics-that-trump-alexa-ranking-and-pagerank.html">Metric that Trumps Alexa Ranking and PageRank</a> =-. “I value negative feedback about as much as anything.
