A day full of guest posting

A day full of guest posting

by Alex · 10 comments

Today at Blo­gus­sion, there has been so much going on with guest post­ing I fig­ured I’d write up a quick post about it all tonight. Guest post­ing is some­thing you should even­tu­ally (if not, imme­di­ately) get into when you blog. In short, guest post­ing is going to some­one else’s blog and writ­ing a post for them. The ben­e­fits of writ­ing guest posts are you can get expo­sure for your blog (usu­ally you can add your link in your author bio), a new chance to share your opin­ions and insights with a new com­mu­nity, and a ton of other stuff.

So basi­cally, we got our first guest poster on Blo­gus­sion and Janith and I both wrote a guest post on two other awe­some blogs.

7 Die-Hard Ways to Get More RSS Subscribers

A post by Janith at the awe­some Blog­ging Tips blog.

Most of us assume that the num­ber of RSS Sub­scribers is a direct reflec­tion upon ’suc­cess.’ This is rel­a­tively true because ulti­mately your blog­ging goal is to cre­ate a strong read­er­ship — inevitably the num­ber of sub­scribers is a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of exactly that.

The ULTIMATE “fight­ing writer’s block” tip

I wrote this post at our good friends from The Blog­ging Park.

Too many times, I find myself sit­ting at my desk, blankly star­ing at the com­puter screen ask­ing myself “What do I want to write about tonight?”. It turns out I have some­thing that just about every blog­ger has: The dreaded writer’s block! When you can’t think of some­thing to write about, it’s called writer’s block and it’s not some­thing you can really avoid no mat­ter how much you pre­pare for it.

Also, if you haven’t noticed, we had our first guest blog­ger on Blo­gus­sion today. His name is Patrick Devivo. He wrote a cool post for us titled “Opti­miz­ing the Lay­out of Your Blog Home­page”. A blog should really have a home­page, maybe from the begin­ning or even later on down the road. Read these tips for design­ing your homepage.

Hope­fully all of these posts will ben­e­fit you in some way. Enjoy! :)

I’m glad we got into Guest Posting, as we did.

To anyone who is still skeptical about ~ don’t be!
It’s probably one of the most effective methods of getting exposure while helping others.

Treat your hosts’ blog as if it were your own, and write content that you would write for your blog too. Don’t hold back on the wonders of your creativity just because it’s someone else blog!

Congratulations,
Guest posting is a great way to promote your blog and to help other blogs out.

Good luck in the future, maybe you can post one over at PulseBlogger sometime.

I am sure guest posting is a great method to build repo amongst fellow bloggers. Regular visitors of the blog get acquainted with your website and the blog gets new unique content. I would say it’s win-win for both.

Nice post there. I think blogging is a very good medium and though not all but most people prefer to subscribe to the blog if they want to stay updated. I add them to my favorites or bookmarks though.

Find time for guest posting. There’s nothing else to it. Just think of it this way, a guest post will bring you more traffic in then a post of your own on your blog. Well, that’s for beginner bloggers only I pressume.

Thanks for the responses guys!

@SERPGenius – Well we were, till FeedBurner crashed and burned. Now it says we have 0 subscribers! Hopefully Google will fix it asap.

@Robby G – Your words couldn’t be any closer to the truth. When it comes to guest posting there isn’t anything like it ~ I agree with that statement all the way!
