Working with a team
I accepted a partnership offer a while back to help write for a new Blog, Bloggers R Us, as of now I am the main ‘plugins’ author. There are about 10 of us working on the blog right now. The main thread of communication between us is at a private forum, and that works fairly well. After getting this sponsored review request from http://www.accuconference.com, from a blog advertising company. I think I am going to see about using something like this for the Bloggers R Us team, maybe have a weekly or even monthly conference call to just make sure everyone is in the same place. To be able to brainstorm out loud and bounce marketing ideas off each other.
Using conference calls are a great way to get your team together, whether you use something like http://www.accuconference.com, Skype, or just your regular phone line. It would be a great idea for group blogs, or even if you hire a writer or a SEO consultant. It looks like it will be about 60 dollars for a monthly call with the 10 of us involved. I think we will stick to the forum for now. But depending on why you need a conference call, and how often, that may be completely worth it to pay. They have a calculator on the site where you enter in the time, amount of people and how often and it gives you a quote.
