Guest Blog Post Contribution:
Who should write a guest post?
Don’t waste your time or the time of the host blogger by posting half-baked blog entries or spam if you can’t put anything together that you’re proud of.
Where Should You Blog as a Guest?
First, you should only guest post on blogs that explicitly allow it. Second, seek high-quality sites to which you can contribute intelligently. Don’t squander your valuable time writing high-quality pieces for blogs with no editorial standards. You can find reputable blogs that welcome guest posts if you explore around.
Is it Possible to Earn Money by Guest Posting?
Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle warns against the exploitative nature of unpaid contributions. In response, Jay Fleischman claims that there are additional advantages to publishing material on someone else’s platform. Carolyn concurs to the degree that:
Guest posting can provide significant benefits, and if it’s occasional work with good quality, it’s a win-win situation for both the blog host and the guest blogger. But when a site is based on free or crowd-sourced labor and offers nothing more than a platform (and with technology, platforms are more affordable than ever), it’s time for the guests to pack their belongings and leave.
- Guest posting on a popular law blog, particularly one in your niche, is an excellent method to promote your blog. Ask David Rossmiller, a Point of Law guest blogger.
- Having guest bloggers on your site is a great way to obtain new content, either from new perspectives or to cover for you while you’re away.
- Guest bloggers on your site will increase readership since they will inform their blog followers about your piece.
- But are you sure you want to start a blog? Maybe you can convince a blogger to let you try your hand at blogging.
We welcome guest blog posts:
- If you’re going to accept guest posts on your site, you should have an agreement in place with your guest bloggers about who owns the content.
- You should also make it clear who wrote the post and perhaps include some disclaimer text about the author’s views being her own.
- Of course, you should make it obvious that you have complete editorial control over what appears on your site.
Google’s stance on guest posting for link building:
Guest posting is a practice that is regularly abused on the internet. If your sole goal for guest blogging is to obtain a large number of links, chances are that any links you obtain will be of little value.
Do:
- Before proposing to contribute, get to know the blog and the blogger(s).
- Consider carefully what you want to say.
- Ascertain that your work is correctly ascribed to you.
- Provide writing samples for blog editors to review.
- Where possible, include links to the author’s biographical information.
- Work with other top-tier writers.
Don’t:
- Post the same post to different sites many times.
- To fool search engines, spin the blog post.
- Send high-quality material to rubbish article directories.
- Approach guest blogging to obtain a large number of links.
- Distribute email spam to blogs that do not explicitly state that they welcome guest bloggers.
- Have you ever written a guest post for another blog or website? What were the outcomes? Do you allow guest articles on your blog? What is your reasoning?
