One of the most familiar terms used in the blogging community. What is it? What does it do? And the most of all, how will I benefit out of it. This post will circle around what guest blogging is and what you should do to become a guest blogger. Special Thanks to Darren Rowse for his articles on guest blogging. They were wonderful.
To begin with, Guest Blogging is the art of writing posts for blogs owned by others, sometimes people whom you don’t even know personally. Well, becoming a guest blogger is no big deal. All you have to do is maintain your blog with everything you have. Keep it updated, make sure every information you give is right, and most of all have it regularly posted. Once you've done this the rest is way too easy. There are several steps that make you a guest blogger.
Keep yourself ready: Visit different sites and watch for opportunities. Sometimes bloggers mention that they are going away or busy and are looking for posts. Get in touch with them and tell them that you are ready.
Be in touch: Keep yourself in touch with professional bloggers and interact frequently with them. But don't pester. Make sure you build up trust in him.
Approach: If you don't know the blogger send him a short intro of yourself and attach a back link of your site. If you can, send him some relevant information that you think might interest him. Don't bore him with too many of them. Show him that you're the right guy.
Get one step ahead: This is just a way of impressing the blogger. Send him a sample post on a nice topic that suits his type. Ask him to use it freely. If he doesn’t use it don't worry, you have your own blog to dump it in.
Make your post catchy: Use good fonts and attractive phrases. Make it in your own style do not imitate or copy others style. Sometime this might be a setback for your career. Avoid lengthy posts, make it short and simple. Be professional in approach, lest pretend.
Set yourself a benchmark: Set yourself a standard. Do not write articles that are substandard. There might been times when you won’t be able to give posts. Please refrain yourself from providing articles which may tarnish your reputation.
