That’s it, the good relationship you build with fellow bloggers online can help you find opportunities faster to grow your blog. They can even recommend you to a blogger friend if they are not accepting one. And you know what that means. If you are recommended by a friend to a friend.

Luckily for me, I found a blogger friend on Facebook. And told him I will like him to help me get a list of good blogs I can guest post on.
