Wether it’s for a side-project or on more professional purpose, starting a collaborative blog often pops up in a blogger’s life. But that exciting project can quickly turn into a real headache: how do you find the right person to blog with? How do you keep the balance between friendship and professionalism? And how to keep your team motivated and organized on the long run? Amélie, Laetitia and Marjorie have share do’s an don’ts based on their experience with their collaborative project Do It Yvette during The Hive Conference - Copenhagen, Denmark in May 2014 twitter / instagram accounts: @cococerise, @morningbyfoley, @vertcerise / @vert_cerise, @doityvette
