RSSGroup Writing Project: 2009 in Review
It was about time to have a new group writing project. Since 2009 is getting close to an end, I figured that “2009 in Review” would be a good topic for it. Here are some headlines to give you an idea of what you could write (adapting it to your own niche, obviously):
- 20 Best Web Apps of 2009
- 10 Worst Economical Moments of 2009
- Recap of the Mobile Industry in 2009
- Top 30 Social Media Posts of 2009
- 10 Promising Trends That Never Materialized in 2009
Why You Should Participate
There are several reasons to participate in the group writing project. First of all it is fun to be involved in something along with fellow bloggers. It allows you to discover new blogs and to network with their owners.
Second, joining the project will motivate you to write a pillar article, which in turn should generate a good amount of traffic.
Finally, at the end of the project I always publish a list with all the entries, and the participants usually blog about, stumble and retweet their favorite entries as well, so everyone ends up getting some traffic and exposure.
Rules
If you want to participate here is how it works:
- Write a post on your blog reviewing some aspect of 2009 (see the headline examples above).
- Mention on the post that you are participating on this group writing project
- Send an email to daniel@dailyblogtips.com letting me know about your entry
- You have until next Wednesday (December 09) to write your post, and I will publish the complete list of entries on the following Monday (December 14).
I am looking forward to reading your posts.

This is an excellent idea to get the whole blogging community to participate. Nice to read what does the blog community have to say about the year 2009. Hopefully you get a lot of submissions.
Are there any “worst blog” awards?
I don’t know why but I’d be more pleased to win that than a best blog award. :/
How would I submit the blog entry?
This Sounds Interesting!
Looking forward to participate.
This is a good chance for me to introduce my new blog to the network. I will join this project. Thanks for offering!
Looks like a fun project. I will think of some topics and maybe enter twice with my 2 blogs!
Excellent idea Daniel. Hope to contribute..
That would be a great idea!! I´d love to take part
Perfect timing.
I just recently relaunched my blog and already have a few ideas for a post to submit.
Should be a decent opportunity.
Very interesting! I will try to participate. Thanks for this opportunity!
Interesting. I’ll try to be in.
Thanks for the invite Daniel! I will participate because I’ve learned a lot this last year!
Great concept for a writing project. I’d see what I can contribute.
Hi guys
Interesting topic, this will be a good way to make blogger participate and unite. LOL! I’m looking forward to win for the best blog award.
Kind Regards

Hello sir,
I am interested in d project”2009 in review “. I think I can write a whole review of the year in different fields around the globe. Will it be OK?
Please reply.
Thank you….
Dear Daniel, thanks for invitation. I’d love to participate, in fact I’ve already have a ready headline, for a project. There is only one problem: I write in Russian. Can you suggest something for me and other foreign language bloggers?
Interesting project ! I contribute
Really cool i’m gonna participate in this one alright. Reserve some space for this kid Daniel.
This is a great writing project to participate! Thanks for giving us newbies this great writing and networking opportunity with other bloggers.
Count me in. I’ll share a post about VPN services and hide ip tools.
Excellent idea, Daniel. This sounds like the perfect project; being part of a team, gaining traffic, expanding networks and making new friends.
Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of offering six free webinars until right after Christmas so participating might get to be very hectic.
I look forward to taking part in the next group writing project because I don’t want to miss all that fun.
Good luck with the project Daniel, and may all the participants break a leg.
This sounds like fun! Always good to be able to feature my site elsewhere.
I love the idea about the ‘Group Writing Project: 2009 in Review”. It will give participants the chance to comment on a lot of issues that have affected them within the past year and also network with each other. I am looking forward to participating in it.

I think this is a great idea that blogger should join. Put me on the list bro.
@Munawar, nah that is fine.
Sounds Great, and a wonderful idea to get people together, Daniel, I wear many hats. Like a lot of people do in here, but don’t even realize it.
What fun, Daniel! This is exciting to take a look
at “2009 in Review” in relation to my field
of poker… hmmmm, poker tidbits for 2009…
how tasty!
I’m confused on how to enter…. Do I write the post on my website? Or do I send it through email? To all Harry Potter fans out there, my website is harrypotterfanworld.wordpress.com .
Daniel-
Awesome idea giving a rationale to review… a key element in developing success. A follow-on idea is to group blog on moving forward in 2010- with projections, prophecies and productivity strategies.
Thanks for your initiative!
Maybe, I should spend some time on this event. It looks interesting.
Thanks, Dan. I always find your work to be of interest and worth the time invested. I will gladly contribute to the cause. Give me a couple days and I’ll email you the page.
Thx.

Well i’m new at this. iIm just getting my blog going and its on nascar so i don’t know if i would fit in.
I’m definitely taking you up on this offer! Looks like I’ll write the “20 Best Web Apps of 2009,” I had been planning a post very similar to that for awhile.
Great way to get some link love for sure.
Can I enter a post that’s been already written and published? I wrote one a couple of weeks back which will suit this group writing project.
I am interested. I’ll Contact you soon.
Can i write about my personal life occasions in 2009? It had been a great year!
@Carlos, it is written inside the “Rules”.
@Narayanan, sorry but it has to be a new post.
@Kodemaster, yeah that would be fine.
@Sarah, the first bullet point under “Rules” say: “Write a post on your blog reviewing some aspect of 2009″. I believe it is pretty clear where you should write the post?
Great idea and I look forward to being involved.
Karl
