It's a united front that will gain you many more readers.

That is one of the hardest aspects of a grog.

It's gets your name out there, and you are so right~if you aren't the leader. . .it's just a minimal commitment that can be so rewarding.<br /><br />I love going to different grogs to see other's perspective and all the different bloggers keep it fresh.Tonya Kappeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252788425268305047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-86637151068161991922012-02-22T11:14:06.341-05:002012-02-22T11:14:06.341-05:00I do belong to a GROG.

EverybodyNeedsALittleRomance<br /><br />There's one other addition to your list I'd add...If you belong to a GROG, you should go by everyday and respond to the post up that day. You should support your fellow blog mates with comments, tweets, etc. and they should do the same for you. Bloggers who drop in ONLY on their blogging date are more weight than help in rowing the boat.Cynthia D'Albahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851986671527903732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-37746988594278727882012-02-22T10:50:55.957-05:002012-02-22T10:50:55.957-05:00Excellent post, Tonya.

The lady who replaced her spot is terrific and I feel like I've known her all along.<br />Most of our members comment practically every day ... one doesn't. <br />We've just begun our second year (Feb. 1) and already have 2012's topics mapped out.<br />I've enjoyed the interaction, meeting new folks, making new friends. And I LOVE hosting Guest Foxes.<br />For anyone else reading this, Tonya K. was my very first Guest Fox.jeff7salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530506418169450704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-72378769855748650252012-02-22T09:37:08.484-05:002012-02-22T09:37:08.484-05:00Thanks!!

They're great exposure and require a minimal time commitment (unless you're the Grog leader--which I have never been nor inspire to be).<br /><br />I also like reading Grogs because different authors bring different perspectives and different writing styles to the Grog which ensures it doesn't get boring.<br /><br />I say even if you're not an introvert, join a Grog. Its a great way to find additional readers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
