Does it take a village to create a blog?

Ever wonder how some of the top blogs made their rise to the top? 

One secret to success that top blogs know is it takes a LOT of posts to provide a robust offering of content for visitors.  In addition to providing lots of material for visitors, frequent posts and lots of content help to generate the inbound links that are essential to getting your blog to rise above the rest and be found via the search engines.

Micheal Arrington, founder of Tech Crunch claims to have worked 16 hour days 7 days a week to launch his mega blog but one not so well kept secret used by top blogs is that instead of relying upon a single person to create all that content, these top blogs rely instead upon a team of people working together.

Gotta Quirk  is a South African blog with a PR 5 that’s been online since September of 2002. This ultra popular blog with an Alexa ranking of 65,057 relies upon a team of 24 bloggers to fill almost every day with a new post.

Most people don’t have the drive or the inclination to put in 16 hour days 7 days a week that Micheal Arrington did to build a mega blog…. but chances are you too can put together a team of bloggers whose skills and abilities complement each other and can combine to create a great blog resource.

If you’re finding it difficult to get started blogging, volunteer your services to an established blog.  You might be surprised at the grateful reception your offer to guest blog may bring.
