Are you a blogger?
Are you a blogger?
Are you also on Twitter?
(If not....why?)
Every business and entrepreneur, solopreneur, and business consultant needs to be blogging.
It establishes you as professional within your field and brings credibility.
In addition, blogging contributes positively to your website's SEO.
I've talked about this previously a few times, however...
As content marketing becomes more relevant, I'd like to give more highlight to an online resource that could rock the socks off your website traffic AND your social networking!
Triberr
Triberr is dubbed “the reach multiplier,” for bloggers on Twitter.
Triberr focuses on dispersing quality content through collective circles of people with like interests.
So, lets say you are an author....
You could connect with a tribe (group) of other authors. From there, every time you make a post to your blog, your quality content is tweeted "automagically" by everyone in your tribe to their followers!
The same would be true for home schoolers, dog breeders, foodies, realtors, insurance agents, social media consultants, video producers, small business owners, nonprofit stakeholders, etc. Anyone that to "tribes-up." :)
For me, it has:
- Refreshed my approach to social media.
- Increased contacts and sociability.
- Super-charged my networks.
A Networking Peep
Introducing my "home tribe":
Excited and proud to be part of such a wonderful group of social networkers!
As you can see above, there are nine people in our tribe, and we have an extended reach of over 200,000 people. Every time we post to our blogs, the title of the post is tweeted to all tribe members' followers, along with a link to the article.
Birds Of A Feather
I created this tribe from my online network of active bloggers on Twitter:
A groovy group of social media professionals!
This group is still developing, and new faces will appear in that image soon.
A Word From The Co-Founders
"Triberr is my way of rebelling against safe and boring. Triberr gives a fighting chance to the blogger with an original and disruptive voice to be heard not only over the noise of the blogsphere, but over the drowning onslaught brought on by the lucky few." ~Dino Dogan
Dan Cristo offers information about fabulous new features that will be added to the platform...
"The first new feature that we'll be rolling out is Karma Points. We're implementing "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" icons next to both posts and members. Tribe members can vote up or down both - one vote per member. The purpose of Karma points is to help bring accountability to the tribe. High quality posts and members have positive Karma, and low quality members will have bad Karma. Voting will be anonymous, but the score will be visible to all."
Also in the plan:
* Genealogy - meaning that if you invite members who incur bad karma, it will reflect poorly on you as well. Karma points will be factored into quality scores and other in-game activities.
* Headline Testing - This is a hot or not voting area to test new headline ideas for your blog titles. This will be important, because poor headlines usually result in low click through rates which will again affect quality scores.
* Questing - Mini adventures within Triberr - the idea of quests that users can complete. Quests will help members setup their account properly, explore the advanced features of the site and engage with members in new ways. There will of course be rewards for completing quests. (More details closer to launch).
What Others Are Saying
"Triberr is a jet pack for your content." ~Andrew Hanelly
"Triberr is a fabulous way to grow your own network. The people in my tribe have now become close colleagues on social media. The relationships in my tribes are greater than the purpose for gathering, which is so valuable in today's connected culture." ~Paul Flanigan
"Triberr has been a great addition to helping promote my blog. In just a few short weeks, my Twitter exposure has more then tripled by joining forces with like minded bloggers through the Triberr platform. An invaluable and frequently used tool to say the least." ~Jason Yormark
"Triberr has been awesome for both my business and me personally. First I've received referrals from the folks in my tribes. Second, I've been introduced to so many new awesome people that I am forming relationships with. Third, I'm able to introduce my clients to yet an even larger audience. At the end of the day it's getting me more business, more relationships, and helping me do the same for my clients. Pure awesome." ~Robert Dempsey
Invite-only To The Reservation
The Triberr platform is set up to make everything easy.
But the core idea idea is to promote quality content.
So, as a method of checks and balances, you must receive an invitation to participate.

Keri, aloha. Let me begin by thanking you for being the asset that you are to the Networking Peeps tribe. Keri, aside from the obvious benefits of expanded reach, one of my very favorite things about Triberr is the number of incredible bloggers I have met. As a result of Triberr, I know personally know and interact with some of the most amazing resources of the online world. Think about it, Keri. If you want to know the answer to or “how to” do something, you will know a tribe member who excels at that very topic. Because of the relationship that you have developed, they are more than happy to help you. Something else that I believe is important for people to note, Keri, is Triberr is not just for people who only have a few thousadd followers and who have not yet established Klout scores. What I like about Triberr is that you see well known bloggers and social media experts with high five figure and six figure followings as well as significant Klout scores who absolutely see the benefit of participating in Triberr. They appreciate the way it curates quality content for them to deliver to their followers. Great explanation of Triberr, Keri. See you on the reservation, my friend. Aloha. Janet

@twitter-45938040:disqus , How did I miss this comment from you? Thank you for your kind words, and also your helpful, additional insight about Triberr. I hope others will look to all that is offered on this page and realize the value that Triberr presents. I too have met some amazing people, and interact with some fabulous experts in a way I never would have without “triberring.” I’d like to thank you for your invitation, and for getting me involved. I’m truly grateful for your gesture. You are a terrific networker Janet, and I’m happy to have you in my circle!! Aloha, my friend… ~Keri

Hey Craig, Nice to see you here – Thanks for stopping in and reading! I’ve enjoyed getting to know you via Twitter – @5minaday:disqus , do you need a Triberr invite? ~Keri

This is such a thorough post, Keri! Thank you! You can be sure that I’ll be sending people here when they ask me what Triberr’s all about. =) I love how you underline the power of tribes in certain niches. I have one tribe left and would love to create a Peru-based tribe as the other two tribes I manage are general contacts that I’ve made through social networking. I also love the exchange you had with Mattias — the reach may not be powerful if those Tweeps aren’t the type to click on links or aren’t interested in links. I find a lot of value in connecting more deeply with the people who *do* share and especially with those in my tribes. =) Thanks for having me think about this, Keri! =)

Samantha, I’m so glad you are enthused! Triberr has been a great thing for me, and I hope to help others understand the value of this tool. @MattGron is quite motivated to see his projects succeed, and he’s been a champion for our tribe. A pleasure to be involved with you, and to have met via Triberr!! 🙂 ~Keri

I think the big thing is what you can create around Triberr and the reach of the tribe is less important, though I don’t mean the reach is meaningless. Because if you should supercharge your blog you need to pay attention to your relationship with the tribe. I need to work harder and more strategic on my networking. I love all the new features!
-
Mattias, You are correct – The things that can come ancillary to Triberr could be profound. Collaborative partnerships, business referrals, and pathways to new connections. I agree! We all hone as we can. Remember that, my friend, as you are doing well. In the mean time, I’ll have homework too. Wanna study together? 🙂 ~Keri
