I’ll be brief. I’ve created a Google group. The purpose is simple – ask other bloggers to promote your posts that you feel are worthy of the world’s attention. There are several important catches though that will hopefully make it worth while…
- I’m going to close new memberships after 100 bloggers have joined so it never becomes overwhelming.
- I’m allowing anyone to apply since I want participation to be voluntary, but I’m only going to approve people who are unselfish, will give a moment now and then to promote another blogger, and who produce useful and valuable content.
- Members can invite other members, but it still stops at 100.
Participating is as simple as sending a single email and reading one email per day.
If you don’t get in, I’d recommend you start your own group and limit it to 100 also, for all the same reasons.
Ready? Here’s the link: Worthy of Attention Google group.
After the group fills up, this message will self-destruct.

Nice idea. Seeing that I’m the first to comment (as of now, maybe after I refresh the page it won’t be the case anymore, but hey, whatever) I’ll probably get into the 100. Mwahaha. >:3

You did indeed! Welcome!
Brandon,
This is a great idea. I never even thought about doing something like this through Google Groups. I was trying to figure out someway to create group/website for this type of promotion.
I just sent in an application.

Thanks Dan!
Great idea Brandon. Google groups is great. I started using it recently and connects to your gmail (not sure about other emails) very very well.

You’re right about that – when you’re signed into Gmail, you’re signed into groups.
Hey Sarge! Fancy that – I was just coming here to comment on this and then tweet you the link. But I guess you already know about it!
Brandon approved me today and I’m in – thanks Brandon!
I’m going to RT this post now – just voted it up on BlogEngage.
Cheers guys!

Don Power´s last blog ..Then They Came For Me – a Cautionary Tale
I’ve been swamped with work and projects all week, I think my break came at the right time because this is one of the first posts I read tonight.
Perfect timing. Let me in! I have oil in my lamp, it’s not too late.
=)
Kissie´s last blog ..Men Are Definitely Better Shoppers
Thanks and I’m glad the timing was so nice!
A great idea Brandon. I’m a big fan of Google, especially how you can use one account to log-in to all the others, just makes things so much easier.
I’ve added myself and look forward to finding out if I’ve been approved.
Regards,
Karl

This is a great idea and it goes along with my goal this year of meeting and connecting with more bloggers.
Ralph, thanks for joining in – hope you meet all your goals!
This would be a pretty cool thing to try out if I could get in, would be great to work with other bloggers and bounce around ideas and help promote.

Missy´s last blog ..Happiness Project – Week 3 – What Can You Change?
Missy, yes you do and thanks!
The only decision I’m faced with is which blogs to include. LOL
I’m anxiously awaiting your approval. Thanks Brandon.
ileane´s last blog ..Say Goodbye to Family, Friends and A Good Night’s Sleep!
It’s about the posts anyway – include multiple in one email per day.
I was scared if the 100 is already over. Hope my posts are somehow OK to approve. Waiting anxiously for your response soon!
