Make your Tribe Work for You

September 08, 2011

Recently a new site that helps you network among like-minded bloggers has come to my attention.  Benefits vary from finding new blogs to follow to linking up with more like-minded tweeps and probably the most important part is a way to get more folks that would be interested in your blog reading your blog.I think the key with using Triberr effectively is to only ask to join tribes that fit you and to make sure any tribe you start has members that meet your criteria or focus.  To do otherwise defeats the purpose and weakens not only the tribe, but your trustworthiness as well.  Another warning is connected to the fact that you will be tweeting other tribe member posts.  Think about whether your Twitter followers that you want to keep are interested in what you'll be tweeting.  Triberr does give you some time to delete a scheduled tweet, but if you're not watching it hourly - they'll be sent.Update NOTE:  Triberr now offers the ability to manually RT posts in addition to auto-RT. You must go in and approve a tweet or delete it if using manual.  I prefer that control.

Nicole is a fellow tribe member and has created a Comprehensive Guide to Using Triberr Wisely that gives you a lot more information that you may find useful now and later if you do decide to join.  You can become a member of more than one tribe, but you must be invited to join Triberr.   I have started a tribe called Creative Nature Lovers.  We blog about how nature feeds our soul and our work.  Anyone is welcome to apply, but much of the applicant's focus should be on nature as their muse.  Artists, gardeners, photographers, crafters, environmentalists... all welcome.If you would like to be invited into my tribe, please leave your twitter account name in the comment section and your blog link.  I will check out your blog for fit and send you an invite via Twitter if you'll be a good tribe addition.
