I'm way too scared to get one LOL!! And yes i totally agree. If you're going to apply for the position, you must make sure that you have at least 2 of these potential elements and realize that you can't just stay with that blog for a week or month.

Was just wondering!! <br />I am completely ready to give up control! I see it more as a chance to *share* my love of books and content and I just love my followers os much my greatest fear is that they wouldn't accept the co-blogger…which is dumb I guess because why wouldn't they?! I think that some of the stuff just takes time, and of course that eager attitude and motivation is important too. I think it's good I'm a very relaxed person..and I don't get angry very easily lol. All in all I'm so excited to have a co-blogger on my blog ;) and no one can predict the future but of course someone who is committed is important! It would be kind of embarrassing to have co-blogger after co-blogger hahaha that would be funny…ah but in all seriuosness that would suck lol . <br /><br />Great post Alex!!

But we get along really well now, we Whatsapp and Skype regularly and we're good friends. We also want the same things for the blog, which is really important, and when she's too busy with school to blog, she knows she can rely on me to make sure we keep pestering our followers :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-58371696417333805032015-02-07T18:45:57.671-05:002015-02-07T18:45:57.671-05:00I will definitely check out their site!

Now, things are a little rough, but I still think having a co-blogger is worth the effort. Of course, you are going to have to go through a long process to find the best one for you. <br />You should check out Inge and Karolina at <a href="http://bookshelfreflections.com/" rel="nofollow">Bookshelf Reflections</a><br />. They had a long journey to find each other, but they both love co-blogging now. <br />And to add to your list, I also think a co-blogger should share your sense of humor. I found that our similar sense of humor has helped my blogging adventures with my co-bloggers. <br />Good luck with your search!<br />Tessa @ <a href="http://4evercrazyforya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Crazy for YA</a><br />Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674560920184099297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-15300111636722847732015-02-06T23:38:48.832-05:002015-02-06T23:38:48.832-05:00Thanks for sharing Rachel.

One of the things I love about having a co-blogger is that when you aren't active, they are active. There was time, when I wouldn't post much and Fari would be posting more regularly and vice-versa. Awesome dicussion and good luck if you get a co-blogger!YA Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003592330244716792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-10951248068495718912015-02-05T23:11:31.280-05:002015-02-05T23:11:31.280-05:00I have to agree that I would have a lot of trouble...I have to agree that I would have a lot of trouble giving over control of my blog! I'm pretty picky, and I probably have trust issues thanks to people not doing their share of the group work we were forced to do four years ago as freshmen! Those are definitely things that I would look for though! <br /><br />I have thought about starting a new feature on my blog where I let a different blogger each time write an approved guest post or something, but I'm not completely sure if it would work yet!Lakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641093042519628764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-4788882648790316362015-02-05T15:58:08.936-05:002015-02-05T15:58:08.936-05:00Much thanks for your guys help along the way and f...Much thanks for your guys help along the way and for the kind wishes :D The Book's Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787038277680033672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-44739469550543915912015-02-05T13:04:57.979-05:002015-02-05T13:04:57.979-05:00Awe thanks love, that made me smile so much hearin...Awe thanks love, that made me smile so much hearing you say this :) And thank you to Alex for such the kind words above.

I felt like that too before Erica came aboard. But she's just so great and she makes the blog so much better. I think that fits into number 1, finding someone you work well with. I can't imagine sharing my space with someone who I didn't get along with, but thankfully I don't have that problem. I'm so much more relaxed and not as stressed now, because I know that I have someone else to lean on, if/when I'm having a hard time coming up with post ideas. She's always there to run through ideas with me, and to give me her honest opinion and I appreciate that so much. <br /><br />Like I said above, I had the fear of giving up control before I brought Erica aboard, but I can honestly say that I don't regret anything. But I can understand that blogging with someone isn't for everyone, but it was the right choice for me :) <br /><br />Great post, Alex!Christy @ Novel Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692226750709877365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-83625597348685057232015-02-04T23:25:48.909-05:002015-02-04T23:25:48.909-05:00I think that's what I fear most.

But I think it would be hard for me to give control over my blog, which I've worked so hard to build up, to someone.
