Can you actually see yourself telling your mom that?
What do you think her reaction would be?
I can tell you what my mom’s reaction was… She said, “Ok son, if that’s what you want to do… I will support you in any any way that I can.“ What an awesome mother I have right? 
After I got done explaining to her that it wasn’t what she thought… She was like, “that sounds like a beautiful thing. A group of people banding together for one common goal. I see why it’s called a Tribe now.”
It made sense to my mom so it should make sense to you right? If you’re new to blogging or even a seasoned blogger, getting your content out there and creating a loyal following should be your main objective… but if you’re going at it alone then you might want to think about joining a Tribe.
A Tribe is basically a content syndication group where everyone’s objective is simple… To help promote each others content. You’ve heard the acronym T.E.A.M right? Together Everyone Achieves More – and it couldn’t be any more true with a Tribe Syndication group.
So obviously that’s the main reason people join a Tribe… but I want to share with you a three other not so obvious reasons that you need to join a Tribe. (If you want to participate in this ‘New Social Media’ that is…)
Reason #1 – To Educate Yourself, Others, And To Accumulate More Value
Most people think it’s all about getting more traffic to your content and sharing other peoples content – which it is… but if you are participating in the Tribes you better gosh darn be learning a thing of two from others!
Reason #2 – To Build Rock Solid Relationships And Potential Partnerships
I can personal attest to this. Some of my best relationships in this industry are as a result of being in a Tribe or a content syndication group… and I know that future partnerships or Joint Ventures will also come about from these relationships that I’ve created.
Reason # 3 – So You Can Tell Your Mom You Grew Up And Joined A Tribe Of Course…
I’m kidding or am I? 
No seriously, joining a tribe can be one of the fastest ways to brand yourself. The sheer nature of the syndication can assist you in becoming a household name way faster then any other way that I know of because of how highly leveraged it is… and this day and age, you should know that people really don’t give a damn about your products or your ‘opportunity’ – they want to know how you can help them and what type of value you have to offer.
With that being said…
I actually participate in quite a few Tribes. However, if I had to pick just one… my answer would hands down be Katie Freiling’s Unified Tribe. It’s brought me the greatest amount of exposure, leads, and traffic in the shortest amount of time.
You can actually see the Unified Tribe in action here… and here’s what my traffic to my blog looked like after just a two days of participating in the Unified Tribe (491 visitors day 1 and 353 visitors day 2 = 844 visitors):
To Hordes of New Traffic,
P.S. See those pretty little icons up above? Go ahead and click on them til your little hearts content if you plan on telling your mom that you grew up and joined a tribe too. … and feel free to share down below some of the things you’ve told your mom that you were gonna do or be when you grew up.
