So I received a message on facebook and sent the woman my e-mail, I received this message a couple days ago

Hi Homesteading folks, I’m Hope Dlugozima, of the Mother Nature Network -- an environmental site founded by Chuck Leavell, keyboardist for the Rolling Stones. We launched in January of 09 (you can visit us here: http://www.mnn.com ) and we cover all aspects of the environment from a healthier family, a cleaner planet and making the most of your weekly budget. In addition, we cover local food and sustainable issues and, in general, hold an optimistic view of the amazing progress being made in this area. We’ve been lucky enough to have gotten some great press -http://www.mnn.com/m.....media-page

I really am impressed by the energy & content on your message boards….many of your topics (everything from chickens to gardening to alternative energy) are topics that our readers love as well. Possible to talk by phone? Perhaps there are interesting ways we could partner.

Hope

so I e-mailed her back

Hi Hope,

That can be arranged, what kind of ideas did you have?

Kyle

she responded back

Hi Kyle, great to hear from you. One idea that jumps to mind is perhaps we could syndicate some of our content to you (free :) while we have some of your best posters write guest blogs for us on their sustainability issues (perhaps with links back to Homesteader)….but let's talk…there may be cooler ideas. Are you free this afternoon or tomorrow?

Hope

any of you interested or have some ideas how to cross promote through both sites?

so after reviewing my notes from the conversation, this seems to be what they are looking for. They are looking for guest contributors and bloggers for their site with direct link backs to the persons blog, facebook page,etsy, here, etc. I know quite a few of our members here have blogs and such, it might be a good way to generate traffic to your sites and here. They would also allow us to share their articles onto our blog and yours. I told Hope I made this thread and to let me see if there was any interest from our members, as far as I'm concerned, I'm probably going to do it in one form or another, anything that helps grow the site is a good thing IMO.

I would like to help but don't think I have the time to write articles or doing anything formal. That being said, if you want to share anything I have done with their site and link back here to your forums I am more than cool with it. I can try to clean up some of my posts, pictures, etc. if they/you want.
