8 Blogging Forums To Improve Your Blogging Skills

Yo there! If you are new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, or through email, for more tips on better and effective blogging!

Forums are a great way to promote your blog, to learn, and connect with other bloggers. But finding such forums, and good ones, at that, isn’t always easy. Here’s where this list of 8 forums comes in.

How To Use This List?

Joining each and every one of these forums would be foolish, and you’ll not be able to do each justice, as you’ll probably not have enough time to regularly contribute to each one. My advice is, join the one(s) you find interesting, and then become a valued member (contribute regularly, solve problems, etc.) That is the best way you can put these forums to use.

1: Authority Blogger Forum

The Authority Blogger Forum is one of the most *ahem* authoritative forums around, and my favourite. The community is very friendly, and ready to help. There are several sections, including a blog review section and a marketplace where you can advertise for getting some work done, and find jobs too.

2: Bloggeries Forum

The Bloggeries forum is another good forum, with quite a lot of threads and posts. It has an active community, and several sub-forums, like blog critique, blog marketing, making money online, WordPress themes and podcasting.

3: Blogger Forum

Blogger forum is one of the oldest forums of it’s type, with a huge number of posts. There are several sections here, such as blog critique (which has become a standard in almost all blogging forums now) and blog marketing and web development. If you’re looking for a helpful and active community, this is the place.

4: Blog Traffic School Forums

The Blog Traffic School forums, part of Yaro Starak’s famos Blog MasterMind program, is more oriented towards business and internet marketing. If you’re interested in internet businesses and entrepreneur-ship, this forum is a good place to be in.

5: Bloggst

The Bloggst forum is a general blogging forum, with categories from blogging tips to internet marketing to a whole marketplace (jobs, ads, blog sales, freebies, etc). It has a thriving and helpful community too.

6: Performancing Forums

The Performancing blog has a forum too, dedicated towards general blogging issues like design, content creation, traffic generation and so on. Interestingly, it has a whole sub-forum dedicated to legal issues that bloggers have, which I think is important. It also has a marketplace, where you can advertise or find jobs, and tell the world about your products, or simply sell your blog.

7: Blogging Tips Forum

Although relatively new, the Blogging Tips forums are thriving. They have a small albeit active community, which is glad to help you out. As this forum is not very large, you can establish yourself as an authoritative figure by contributing regularly, and helping the forum develop.

8: Blogger Talk

The Blogger Talk forums are well populated, with a thriving community. There’s the usual introductions and blog reivew sub-forums, and a marketplace where you can advertise and apply for jobs.

    Excellent post, Siyab. Good review of the important sites to remember when organizing your blog promotion activities.

    Here’s a tip for others: Locate 5 forums. Comment of one forum per day. Find five posts on which to comment in each forum on your one-forum-per-day routine. By week’s end you’ve got 25 helpful comments posted and a growing number of link exposures.

    Hey, and congrats on the Featured Blogger status! :)

    Hey Kathie, thanks for dropping by!

    I agree - the Aussie Bloggers Forum is good, but it’s more Aussie-centric, don’t you think? But, for any aussies, this should be good enough! :D
