I have had an idea for a while now and I think I'm ready to put it into effect here is the next couple of weeks...depending on the type of response I get. After all, I don't want to take on a new feature responsibility if no one is really interested...but, I think you all may like it.
What it is:
It's something I call Feature Friday at SSB and basically, its a way for new blogs, established blogs, craft blogs, personal blogs...whatever type blog to get a little free PR. My goal is to begin a wish list for blogs/bloggers that would like to be featured at SSB.
How to get on the wish list:
The blogs will be featured in the order in which I receive the request. Although your thoughts are ALWAYS appreciated by posting a comment, you can get your blog on the wish list by email alone.
What your email should include:
Include "Feature Friday" in the subject line (as these will be going to my personal email and I don't want anyone to be accidentally overlooked). Your email should include a small paragraph about why you blog and a small paragraph about your blog and include at least 2 pics. I will respond to your email on the day that I post about your blog, including the link to the feature in the email so you can see! That way its a total surprise :)
What you have to do:
Nothing. There is no cost for it. You don't have to snag the I was Featured button. You are not required to post or blog about it (although I would appreciate it if you did)...no requirements what so ever. Just something kind to do for another fellow blogger.
I'm giving this a 2 week shot. If there is a good response, I will go ahead with it. My goal is to always have someone readily available to feature. This is for EVERYONE! I will not pass over those who have already been featured by Mad Skills, or thru any other SSB posting. Everyone WILL be featured!
The only restriction is that I will have to limit everyone to one Feature Friday every 3 mths. That way there is always something new and fresh for Fridays. But don't despair, I'm am fixing to host my very first guest blogger. If you don't wanna wait 3 mths and have something totally awesome to share...like, NOW, contact me about doing a guest blog.
So that's it. Post a comment letting me know what you think. I can't wait to hear from you!!

I think this is a fab idea! Love the element of surprise to it as well. I will definitely be pinging an email your way!
ReplyDeleteGinger, I think that's a great idea. I look forward to reading about all the bloggers you feature. :)

Fun idea! I'll be emailing you too!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great, there needs to be more blogs about boys.
ReplyDeleteI plan on e-mailing you as well but . . I can't access your e-mail. Yes it is me and how I have my system set up - it doesn't automatically connect an e-mail. Help?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I'll be sending an email your way soon - hopefully this weekend (time... never seem to have enough...) - Thanks for the great opportunity!
