When trying to market your blog with blog engage you have to understand how the community behaves and operates. Blog Engage isn’t your typical article submission website. We have real members and real hard working bloggers visiting our community.

What you have to understand is our members treat blog engage in the same manner they would treat their own blog. We respect one another, help promote one another and engage on each others blogs.

Building relationships with members of the community on a personal level is of most importance for your successful entry into our community. We have many ways this can be done and in today’s article I’m going to share a few of them with you.

Adding Friends

As a member in the blog engage community you have the ability to add members to your friends list. When you first sign up this should be something to consider doing. Adding friends allows you to see what your friends are voting on, commenting on and the latest articles they are submitting. Look for members that your familiar with and when visiting their profile you will see an “add bbrian017 to your friend list” option. Simply click it and you are done.

Voting on Articles

Part of building relationships with our members includes voting on their articles. Take the time to visit the upcoming page and see if any of your friends need that extra vote on their article. Simply signing in, submitting content and leaving will not cut it. Be part of the community and help make a change in the blogosphere.

Commenting on Articles

One of the biggest advantages when marketing your blog with blog engage is finding other great articles to comment on. I’ve never had to go outside of blog engage to find an article that interested me in which I wanted to comment on. We have many categories you can sort though to find your niche specific articles to comment on. All our members are submitting quality content so there really is no need to look else where.

Commenting on Story Submissions

Don’t be shy when looking around blog engage. Get involved and start commenting on the bloggers story page right here on blog engage. Sometimes we have something to say but it’s doesn’t qualify to be a comment. This is the perfect opportunity to post a comment on the actually blog engage story page. This also helps build traffic for your friends because other members will read your comment and perhaps follow the link to the blog authors website.

Sending Direct Messages

Sending direct messages is an amazing way to build on your new friendships. Send our members messages about their articles or simply to have discussion or ask them a question. I know many members don’t use this part of our service but we really should be taking advantage of it more often.
