There are so many areas that need \u201cextra\u201d hands when it comes to any business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And when I say \u201cbusiness\u201d I do not refer to the multi million dollar companies here. Even small businesses that have one boss (like you) need extra hands to grow and prosper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\u2019s say you have a business and a related website. You create content so you can reach out to your target audience, gain traction and attract potential &#8211; but you cannot go about doing this successfully on an ongoing basis <em>on your own<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For instance, let\u2019s talk about the marketing that\u2019s involved. If you share your blog post in your social circle, and if everything stops there, the purpose is not served.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the other hand, if your friends see your update and like it, comment on it and if they share it with their friends too, that\u2019s where real marketing begins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\u2019s say you think about creating a new product. You want to do market research. You cannot simply rely totally on software&#8217;s that will tell you what topic to focus on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you want to create a product that would sell like hot cakes, you should create what people want.<\/p>\n<p>And will those lifeless software&#8217;s tell you what people want? Nope! Real people only will tell you that.<\/p>\n<p>And only real people will help you grow your business. Only real people will buy from you and do real business with you.<\/p>\n<p>[clickToTweet tweet=&#8221;Any business needs REAL people. Period.&#8221; quote=&#8221;Any business needs REAL people. Period.&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I hope you get the idea. <strong>So how can blogging communities like DoSplash help you with this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Make genuine connections<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/make-the-most-out-of-blogging-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blogging communities<\/a> like DoSplash are places where you can meet a lot of people &#8211; potential people with whom you can build genuine connections.<\/p>\n<p>And you get the opportunity to virtually \u201cmeet\u201d them, see their work, be appreciative and help them out &#8211; this is a sure fire way to get to know people who can be a big asset to your business in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>And by helping each other and by being appreciative in a community you can build \u201cgenuine\u201d connections and not just quick fly by connections that are of no use to you and to your business.<\/p>\n<h2>You get your work in front of more eyeballs<\/h2>\n<p>Of course! When you are an active member of a community people get to notice you. And at blogging communities like DoSplash, you also get to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/submit-guest-post\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">submit your blog post<\/a> and your work to the community. This is a great opportunity in my opinion!<\/p>\n<p>Your work is in front of a community where you get \u201cvotes\u201d and \u201cshares\u201d &#8211; talk about growing your business where real people are sharing your stuff and are appreciating it.<\/p>\n<h2>Get targeted traffic<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-290 size-full\" title=\"Get targeted traffic from the DoSplash community\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dosplash-community.jpg\" alt=\"Get targeted traffic from the DoSplash community\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dosplash-community.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Dosplash-community-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let me say that again &#8211; targeted traffic! Yes not just any traffic, but targeted traffic that converts.<\/p>\n<p>Since you submit your work in appropriate categories, community members who are interested on a particular topic browse through the posts in that topic and they will find you.<\/p>\n<p>Since interested people click through your links, I call that targeted traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>Search engine visibility<\/h2>\n<p>Now when I say \u201csearch engine \u2026\u201d I don\u2019t mean \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/organic-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search engine optimization<\/a>\u201d or \u201cbacklinks\u201d &#8211; please don\u2019t make that translation.<\/p>\n<p>What I mean here is that your story submitted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/submit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DoSplash<\/a> gets indexed a lot faster! And this is great for your search engine visibility.<\/p>\n<p>If your blog is pretty new it could take a while for your post to get indexed in search engines.<\/p>\n<p>But your story at DoSplash usually will get indexed a lot faster, which means you will still <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/get-blog-traffic-via-connections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get search engine traffic<\/a> even before your post gets indexed in search engines &#8211; pretty cool huh?<\/p>\n<h2>Discover and stay up to date<\/h2>\n<p>This one is a biggie for me. I would like myself to keep updated in my niche. And I cannot be Googling every time to stay updated.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I have subscribed to some feeds but that will give me only the news from those particular channels.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging communities like DoSplash, on the other hand, have a wide variety of users submitting a wide variety of stories. A particular user does not only submit their own posts but also submit their discoveries from other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>This gives me a wide channel to look for <strong>in one place<\/strong> &#8211; rather than me going on a hunt for industry news.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve discovered many valuable blogs and and hot news at DoSplash, personally.<\/p>\n<p>The news or content I discover at DoSplash has inspired new blog post ideas for me, paved way for new connections, guest post opportunities and much more.<\/p>\n<p><em>What is your experience with blogging communities so far?
