As most of my followers know I am big into helping other bloggers gain more exposure. My goal has been to grow a community of like-minded people and I am part way to my goal. I will no longer be using the “leave a link and I’ll share your blog” tactic.
From now on I am going to share those who interact with my page. So for those who comment and share my posts I will be selecting from those people to Feature on my page. From comments I will select the comments which convey the spirit of true engagement. From Shares I will randomly select. So there will be 2 featured posts each day.
Basically I want to reward people who are engaging and sharing. Good luck!
What a great idea.

I do this type of sharing because a blogger helped me out when I first started and it meant so much to me that I continue his generosity. It is all about community!

WordPress community is incredibly different than other social media or blogging sites. There is mutual respect and life force here. Not nonsense and egos. Thanks for your help and your good idea !

Thank you Roo! It’s a little different than what I have ever done, but I think I need to focus more on those who are really interacting; more than just leaving a link.

If I had my way, I’d sit, read and blog all day! When I started last year, I didn’t realize how time consuming and addictive this is! I love to read and there is so much valuable info on WordPress that I really want to quit my job and just soak it up for a living! Too bad that doesn’t pay the bills, lol

Great idea. Spend the time on those who have spent the time. Love it. I strongly disagree with the principal of simply following in exchange for following. It does nothing for engagement.

I agree. Follow for follow is a common practice but it doesn’t promote the spirit of blogging imho.
