Guest Post

Your own blog might be packed with great content … but it won’t be doing you much good if you don’t have any readers. One of the best ways to bring readers to your blog is to write guest posts on larger, related, blogs. This not only gets your name and writing in front of people, it also helps your Google rankings (because you’ll get a link to your site from a high-pagerank blog). If you’ve never guest-posted before, you might not know where to start. Here’s your step-by-step guide: Some bloggers

I receive around 20 guest post submissions per week. Usually I let them pile up and once a month I go through all of them, replying to the ones I think would be a good fit for the blog. There are two types of submissions I discard right away, though, without even taking a look. I also consider those the two biggest mistakes you can make while trying to guest post on some blog. They are: If by opening your email I see something like “Dear Sir” or “Dear Blog Owner” I’ll send it

If you’ve been blogging for longer than a week, you know about the awesome, awesome power of guest blogging. In fact, it’s usefulness is why I am participating in it right now! I get to have my writing and ideas featured to another whole audience who may not be familiar with my blog, and I get to meet new people and create more connections with this extended audience, not to mention the fact that guest posting builds the reputation of my own blogs and sends over tons of traffic. The thing is,

Is there are sure-fire approach to making every article you write go viral online? Maybe not, but you can do some things to significantly increase the chances of any blog post you write going viral. I have been publishing articles on my blog constantly, and on other blogs in the form of guest posts, for years now, and in the process I’ve been able to observe my most successful articles and guest posts. After noticing a common theme among these articles, I decided to write another article based on the

I recently undertook a guest blogging challenge for my blog. The main purpose of the challenge was to market my blog and increase the amount of visitors I will be able to get daily as a result of that guest post for months to come. While I’ve been used to writing guest posts for big blogs with the intention of seeing huge spike in traffic and subscribers to my blog, I decided to take things to the next level and write a lot of guest posts for smaller blogs with the hope of benefiting in the future.

I often get amused by the emails I receive pitching guest posts, so I figured it would be fun and partially useful to share some of them. The first curious thing I see in those emails is the subject line. Many (if not most) come with this subject: “Request for Guest Post”. A request for a guest post means that you want the other person to write a guest post for you. When you want to guest post on their blog, on the other hand, you are offering a guest post. So your subject line should be

This guest post is by Jocelyn Ann. Tired of haphazardly, randomly struggling to find guest blogging opportunities? Or finding yourself stressed to the max because you’re unable to locate your next guest-post goal for the month? You’re not alone. Most bloggers don’t know where or how to search properly, and if they’re trying to search at all, generally end up with dead-end leads. Developing a systematic method that you can implement to ensure a never-ending supply of opportunities is your best option. The

To appease the gods so they could a better life, the Greeks used to pray, pour wine on the ground, build statues, hold festivities, and make sacrifices, among other rituals. Just as the Greeks had gods for each aspect of life, there was also “Bloggareus,” the god of blogging (mythic, created by yours truly). And boy, was he a tough cookie!

I receive around 100 emails per day. Around 50% of those are people asking me to do something for them. Some want a product or service reviewed, some want feedback on their latest project, some want a question about blogging or SEO answered, some want help to choose a good domain name and so on. If I had time available I would be glad to accommodate all requests, just for the sake of helping people out. But guess what, running a dozen or so websites takes a lot of time, and as most people I struggle to
