People don’t know how to use this great tool (is it really only a tool or maybe it’s a social network?).

I fully understand them because in the past I also had a lot of problems to understand how Triberr works

I will not publish whole guide about Triberr – it’s impossible in one post.

In this post I’ll try to reveal four most important facts and tips about Triberr.

1)      What Triberr Is

2)      Most Important Triberr’s Settings

3)      How to Join New Tribe

4)      How to Approve Tribemates Posts

First of all – what Triberr is?

Triberr is a tool (from Dino Dogan and Dan Cristo) which allows you to boost your social network efforts, especially in Twitter.

You can join here a lot of Tribes – after it you can see on your wall (it’s called tribal stream) posts from your Tribemates. Topics of posts are automatically downloaded from blogs via their RSS.

And of course all tribemates of your tribe will see all your posts too…

If your post will be interesting, it will be tweeted for you by your tribemates. It is also expected from you to share all posts from your tribe…

Of course not every post will be shared by everyone. On the other hand – you can join a lot of tribes…

Most important Triberr’s settings

There are 3 important settings before you can share your post(s) with others

• Blog settings (you should set here address of your blog’s RSS)
• Twitter settings (you will tweet your tribemates’ posts via this account)
• Content settings (you can set here frequency with which you will share tribemates’ posts on Twitter)

How to Join New Tribe

To get most from Triberr you have to be a member of some tribes. How you can join new tribes?

If you want to join specific tribe, you can make it in three ways:

1)      You can join one tribe at the registration process (you can join only public’s tribes). At this moment my tribe “Blogger’s Tribe” is open to new members so you can choose it during registration

2)      You can ask the ruler of the tribe (if you know who is it) for invitation

3)      You can leave three comments on the tribe’s posts

This is the most common way to be invited to the tribe, so I’ll describe it in some more details below.

• Login into Triberr
• From Menu select “Tribes” and “Browse all Tribes”

• Select the category or categories you are interested in

• Click “Start connecting” button
• Browse Tribes according to chosen categorie(s)

• After finding proper tribe you can try to join it. You must leave at least three comments on the tribe’s posts (in this case you will be automatically recommend as a member of the tribe). Of course tribe rulers don’t accept all requests– it’s normal and you should be aware that you must be very patient, especially at the beginning… After accepting you by a tribe ruler you will get an email titled “A Call to Arms from /Ruler of the Tribe/”. In this email you can find a link to a page, where you can “Join The Tribe”. And that’s all, you are a member of a new tribe

How to Approve Tribemates Posts

Now you are a member of some tribes. There is only one more thing you should do daily or weekly (I do it 3-5 times a week) – share posts of your tribemates. It’s not very complicated

If you are logged into Triberr you must go to your Tribal stream – so choose  “Home” from menu.

There will be a list of posts you can share. If you want to share specific post with your Twitter followers, you should click on the orange button “Approve”.

After approving you will see something like that:

All approved posts will be tweeted for you automatically…

There is also one more tip – remember to share posts from your tribemates

Other things about Triberr you can find on the internet. Fortunately there are some interesting and very helpful posts on this topic on alltriberr.com in section tutorials.

Each blogger has his or her own reason or reasons for doing it, but a common point for them: they want to have more quality visitors on their blog!

Here are eight tips for promoting your blog:

1)      Focus on Quality Content on Your Site

It’s the first and most important thing. Write an article for readers, not for uou or for Google or other search engines. Focus on high quality content of your post, including grammar, spelling and punctuation. The topic should be interesting and encourage your visitors to read your articles.

2)      Say Hello! to Your Blogosphere

But say it not on the first week of your blogging adventure, but after you’ve posted at least 10-15 high quality articles to your blog. After (or before) it, please prepare a list of 50-200 blogs from your niche. And don’t be shy – write a personal email to each blog owner. In 3-5 sentences describe who are you, what your blog is about and the reason(s), why he or she should read your blog. At the end of your email, you can gently ask for subscribing your blog (via RSS or e-mail list) or following you on Twitter

3)      Make Comments on Other Blogs From Your Niche

Find five to 10 blogs about your topic and try to comment each new article on them for at least 1 month. Try to be first with your comment, or at least between first 10 persons commenting the post. And remember – commenting isn’t spamming, but adding something into the discussion (do you like comments like: ”Thank you for nice post, greetings!” ? – I don’t like it).

4)      Prepare Free Ebook or Short “How to” Guide

After preparing your “golden egg” ask other bloggers to review it or comment on their blogs. But ask bloggers not from A-list (they probably will not have time for you), but bloggers from growing blogs, with comparable audience to yours. Please ask no more than 10 bloggers in one week, and not less than five . For one ebook or guide, if you are a beginner blogger, you should do it repeatedly for one or two months.

Examples of some “How to” articles are below:

5)      Write Guest Posts on Other Blogs

A lot of bloggers are waiting for your post… Really! Guest blogging has only advantages for you because you have access to new readers. For blog owners – because they don’t have to write a new post, they have free content. And the advantage for readers is that, they may read something with another point of view. Before writing a guest post, you should assure, that the blog owner is “ready for guest blogging”. You should also meet requirements for guest posts, which may be different for each blog. And most important tip concerning this point – try to make your guest post related to your free ebook. It really works.

6)     Prepare “Summarizing Article”

Find 3-5 interesting articles from your Top blogger list and summarize it in your article (of course linking to the source). Now it’s time to promote it – send info about it to your email list, Tweet it, tell your Facebook friends/fans about this post. After getting some comments, please send an e-mail about it to the blogger(s) who you mention in your article. And have fun for growing audience

7)      Use Your Twitter or Facebook Power For Boosting Your Blog

Tweet each article from your blog. But this tip only works, when you have lots of followers or fans/friends. If you have a few, you may be interested in http://www.reddit.com/ Promotion on this site is very simple – write an interesting article with killing competition topic and there you are – independent of numbers of your Facebook fans or if you are famous or not, you will get a lot of readers.

8)      Be Consistent in Your Action

That means you should promote your blog daily. And don’t be discouraged with small amount of readers at the beginning – promotion is a long term action. Make at least one step a day. And whatever you do – always end with a call to action (visit my blog, follow me on Twitter, sign in into my e-mail list, etc.).
