Linkup (or Linky) parties are hosted by bloggers that allow you to share your projects with their readers. Sometimes they’re called blog hops.\u00a0 \u00a0Some linkup parties have a single host, while others are hosted by several bloggers.\u00a0 When you participate in a linkup, you upload a link to the project or blog post you want to share, along with a small photo.\u00a0 When a party-goer visits the linkup, they can see your project along with all the other projects that bloggers have linked to the party.\u00a0 Most are weekly linkups, but there are also monthly linkups and special ones like DIY ornaments.<\/p>\n
There are so many reasons!\u00a0 First, you get to borrow a fellow blogger’s audience!\u00a0 It’s so fun to get your projects in front of viewers that may not know about you.\u00a0 Second, it’s a great way to network with other like-minded bloggers.\u00a0 You get to see what the host(s) have been working on, and you can interact with them, and other party-goers.\u00a0 Third, you get a lot of inspiration for your own projects by checking out what other bloggers have been working on.<\/p>\n
It’s a party!\u00a0 You’re expected to mingle.\u00a0 This includes following the host(s) on their preferred social network.\u00a0 It also includes visiting your fellow party-goer’s blogs, commenting on them, and pinning your favorites to your Pinterest boards or social media channels.<\/p>\n
Good hosts want to provide a great linkup.\u00a0 When hosts collaborate on a linkup, they will share the linky party with each of their respective audiences.\u00a0 So you can linkup and the party will be seen on multiple blogs, but you only have to link once.\u00a0 I love it when hosts pick features and when they feature the most clicked post for the week–and when they link the features back to the original post.\u00a0 Some of the best hosts visit your link and leave a comment to let you know that they are mingling too.<\/p>\n
Some hosts offer much appreciated extras such as adding you to their blog hop, Facebook groups and Pinterest Group Boards.<\/p>\n
Linkups are a great way to start promoting your blog and posts.\u00a0 If you’d like to give it a try, check out the list of linkups where I party.\u00a0 If you have any other great linkups you’d like me to know about, please leave them in the comments.<\/p>\n
