Eat Blog Talk

In episode 512, Janelle Hama teaches us how to build a supportive community, especially around your blog’s niche, highlighting the benefits of collaboration, networking, and accountability within such communities.

Janelle is a keen plant based recipe blogger specialising in vegan Lebanese food. Due to having to change her diet a few years ago for health reasons, this, coupled with her love of cooking, started Janelle on a blogger journey 3 years ago.

In this episode, you’ll learn about whether you should create your own group or join an existing one as well as these topics:

- Benefits of Community: Networking, collaboration, and seeking advice from others are key benefits of being part of a community.

- Experience Sharing: Engaging with bloggers from diverse backgrounds brings different perspectives and learning opportunities.

- Friendships and Support: Community offers emotional support, understanding, and celebration of achievements among bloggers.

- Accountability: Being part of a community helps in setting and achieving goals through mutual accountability.

- Start a Community: Initiate a group or join existing ones on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

- Set Clear Parameters: If you start your own group, set clear guidelines for who it caters for and what the community rules are.
