Another informative Google+ Hangout in September, featuring helpful hints, as well as an announcement of Viral Content Buzz, by Gerald Weber. Ann and Gerald have been researching and putting together VCB to meet the needs that they identified in the social media and blogging community.

***Please note: The next MyBlogGuest Google+ Hangout is scheduled for October 27, 2012 at 3pm GMT (4pm BST / 11am EDT / 10am CDT / 8am PDT).***

Ann’s note: Here’s the full video of the last month’s hangout. Also, our very own Social media strategist Deborah Anderson was awesome enough to create takeaways video for us:

What I love about MyBlogGuest is that it always keeps moving, developing, and growing. We are thankful to our members and moderators for ideas they share to make it better. So, recently we have invented a couple of important features to the Articles Gallery.

As you know in our Gallery checklist we asked authors describe links and image sources in Notes. Now we tried to make this process happen automatically: a couple of clicks and all’s done!

It is that time again. Time for another MyBlogGuest Google+ Hangout On Air. This past month, we have been taking a poll on the MyBlogGuest Facebook page to find out what time works the best for the MBG community.

From the vote tally, we were able to determine that the best time slot for the Google+ Hangout OnAir is at 3PM GMT (currently 11AM EDT / 8AM PDT).  This will keep it easy to remember, as it is the same time slot that we use for our weekly MBG Twitter Chat.  Since the hangout is on the last Friday of every month, it will fall on the day after the monthly Guest Post Push on the Twitter Chat.

Don’t forget to set your calendars for that this week, September 27th, at 3PM GMT / 11AM EDT and follow on #MyBlogGuest on Twitter.

So, MyBlogGuest Google+ Hangout on Air: This Friday 3PM GMT (currently 11AM EDT / 8AM PDT)

Starting My Blog Guest, I never meant it to grow big. It was just a tiny hobby I had while earning money providing services.

*Note: we are running one-hour #myblogguest Twitter chat sessions each week 3 PM GMT / 11 am EDT. That’s the best time to ask your guest blogging questions and get real-time answers! More info on how to join is available here*

It was free, and I had no idea how to monetize it.

While it was growing bigger, I had to cover some development costs, but the main idea behind it was always the same: We were giving away as much as we could… for free.

So what can you do for free inside MyBlogGuest. Read more »

Today, we would need your help in the following: we have started a new section called “MyBlogGuest FAQ” and we would like it to be the most complete, yet well-organized and non-overwhelming resource of how to use MyBlogGuest.

Currently, it consists of the following sections:

• Getting started;
• Participating in the forums;
• Interacting with other members;
• Using the gallery as the author

Shortly, we’ll be adding more:

• Infographics;
• More tips on using the gallery as the publisher. Read more »
