Tribe Syndication is the latest trend to hit the online marketing world, and it’s creating rising stars in the blogging world faster than anything I’ve ever seen!

I’m not talking about paying some company huge sums of money to promote your content. This is totally free blog syndication and if done properly it will rock your world and your business. How so?

• First, it will drastically improve your SEO (search engine optimization), meaning that your blog will rank better with the search engines and more people will see your content. After all, that’s what it’s all about, right?

• Second, tribe syndication will help you to create some powerful strategic alliances with other bloggers with whom you share similar mindset, beliefs, and commitment to success. I’ve seen many of these friendships turn into profitable business partnerships, and have personally benefitted from this type of result on more than one occasion.

• Third, participation in a free blog syndication network requires you to get in the trenches and actually read blog content posted by your peers.  Yes it takes time but when you partner with top bloggers you’ll be amazed at the lessons you’ll take away from the inspiring, educational, and practical information they post.

So, how can you reap all these rewards, and more? Obviously, tribe syndication is the answer – but there is one important element of using free blog syndication. Without this one you will definitely not be maximizing the true potential of your blog syndication network.

Drumroll, please….the one element that can either make or break your tribe syndication results is accountability. I know this because I’ve been involved in tribes with and without the accountability factor.

Trust me, it’s pretty disappointing when you devote several hours during the course of a week to promoting the members of your blog syndication network, only to find that your content has been barely syndicated.

So, how can you be sure this doesn’t happen to you? Tribes are popping up all over the blogging world, and it’s not difficult to find one to join. Before you make the commitment (and have no doubt, belonging to the right tribe is a commitment…), make sure the tribe(s) you join include the following:

• Accountability
  Members should be required to provide free blog syndication on a certain schedule. For example, one of my tribes has a weekly tribe power hour each Tribe Tuesday, where we meet with fellow tribesmen and women on skype and get to work syndicating each others’ content. If a member can’t make it to the power hour, he or she is expected to promote fellow bloggers as soon as it is convenient.

• Committed Tribe Members
  Remember, you will be promoting these fellow bloggers and their work. You want to be sure that the information they’re putting out is valuable content, and that they have demonstrated a commitment to the blogging process. I’ve spotlighted a few of my tribe members on a special page and invite you to check out their awesome posts.

• Rotating Tribe Teams
  You don’t want the same people promoting your blog week after week after week. An effective tribe should have a system in place where teams are mixed up every couple of weeks.

• Sense of Community
  One of my tribes is built around a ning community, where training and support is offered. This sense of community really brings us together in reaching our common goals and helps us to form incredible personal and business relationships. Another group centers around a Facebook page. Both groups provide a team atmosphers that fosters the development of wonderful friendships.

• Leadership & Organization
  There has to be a person or team calling the shots and keeping everyone organized. Without strong leadership and organization there can never be team success. Look for leaders who have created a name for themselves online. For example, I belong to one blog syndication network that is led by a group of bloggers who have developed an entirely new online concept called Tribe Tuesday. You may not know what it is today but believe me when I tell you it will be more popular than Twitter’s Follow Friday in a matter of months. Now that’s strong leadership!

Now get out there and join a tribe syndication team that will help you to rock your business and your world!
