Thanks for sharing this great article. I like your idea of establishing relationships with social marketers if you are not able to. This will help you stay up to date on the subject at least.

There is another huge advantage to collaborating with others and that is knowledgeable, sincere third party recommendations are far more compelling than tooting your own horn.

Mark, I would love to know more about your freelance work and what you offer.

It does make sense to establish a social media relationship if you are a freelancer, which I am. Like you said, there is an ebb and flow to freelance work, which means that if you’re constantly promoting yourself, then you can’t work, and vice versa.

All good stuff, and exactly what I would hire someone for, lol.

Commenting back and forth and the occasional contextual link is awesome, but as you are ponting out, there can be a lot more done.

With the exception of receiving some email reports, that all takes time. I have some thoughts in mind for cash alternatives.

In fact, I have a project in mind that may take care of this for any blogger willing to join.

Thanks btw for BackLinkWatch and Back Link Reporter – I didn’t know of these.

Hi Dennis,

While hiring someone is one way to do it there are others. Anyone with a blog can use free tools like BackLinkWatch to find out who link to them and return the favor with links and comments.

They can use free tools like Back Link Reporter to keep track of where you comment so you can be consistent in visiting, leaving comments and then sharing those posts as I explained in the post Commenting Strategy Increased Our Traffic 54.87%. It actually increased traffic more than that.

To expand on that concept, we can learn to write a review at StumbleUpon in a way that makes it an effective Tweet and then feed that review using to Twitter and Facebook using TwitterFeed and the format http://rss.stumbleupon.com/user/growmap/reviews (replace growmap with your StumbleUpon account).

Pull the reviews into FriendFeed by adding that RSS there too. Use Tweecious to send it to Delicious. Now you have covered StumbleUpon (the best source or traffic and the best for residual traffic) plus Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook and Delicious all from one review.

Now if only TwitterFeed would support su.pr OR the StumbleUpon share function gets improved you’ll really have reach. I’ve been meaning to write this all up in a blog post and still need to do that.

Remember that the most valuable currency is writing about other bloggers. Those links are weighted more heavily and one commentator tells us that the FIRST link is probably now considered most important by Google. We all need to start writing about our collaborators regularly – including me.

Welcome Frankle,

Yes, the time issue is what Mitch Joel was talking about and why we must learn to collaborate. There is not enough time for every blogger to be a power user. I will explain more when I answer Dennis’ comment below.
