Sherpa Sites is more than just a hosted blogging platform for outdoor bloggers. Sherpa Sites is also a content network powered by the member blogs. All content that is created on a Sherpa Site is syndicated to the Trail Sherpa website. This increases the exposure for that blog and helps Sherpa Site owners build a readership quickly.
What other platform can do that?
There is no other blogging platform that is built specifically for outdoor brands that can help a new outdoor blogger or gear maker build an audience of outdoor enthusiasts like Trail Sherpa and Sherpa Sites can.
Global Content Feeds
Visitors to Trail Sherpa are able to browse the various global content feeds which display excerpts of posts from ALL sites on the network. There are global feeds on Trail Sherpa for blog posts, trail reports, gear reviews, and trail recipes. When a reader clicks on a post title they are redirected to that post on the site that published it. The effect is that Trail Sherpa drives traffic to member sites by actively promoting their content.
Global Marketplace
The same applies to products posted by Sherpa Sites that are using the integrated ecommerce functionality on their site. Any site that has activated their ecommerce functionality will have their products displayed not just on their site but also in the Trail Sherpa Marketplace.
Just like with the global content feeds, when a visitor clicks on a product in the Trail Sherpa Marketplace they are redirected to that product on the site that posted it and are able to purchase it there.
Global Shopping Cart
One of the most powerful features of the Global Marketplace is that shoppers on the network are able to shop the individual storefronts using a global shopping cart. That means that a shopper can buy an item at one storefront, navigate to a second storefront to buy something there, and then checkout just one time. Each seller is paid directly via their PayPal account.
