Hey I was thinking that surely working with a few others on a joint venture blog would be really beneficial. For a start if 5 people posted one blog at day relating to the subject thats 35 stories a week! Lots of content for the search engines and content that, perhaps, users will come back for.. repeat visitors. Maybe each blogger could add there AdSense code below there blog post and each person have a text link on the side. It would also mean 5 different people promoting the blog as well as having the URL in there signature. Has anyone tried this? I would be up for it.
I am already running a blog with 5 people but it wont be helpful unless all the participants are equally interested. My partners left now and i am doing all myelf. check it http://www.tellypundit.com
I think all partners being equally interested and equally committed is absolutely crucial. Too often I've gotten involved in joint-projects and it's never really worked out.
Yep - I think everyone - even the person that paid for the domain name, and hosting should have everything exactly equal. With perhaps a private forum for discussion on the sites progress. I'm from near B'ham affers.. if you're ever interested in a JV pm me!
