Guest blogging has several benefits to it, especially if you are trying to build your online presence. These tips are just to guide you through the journey. You might create tips and opinions of your own once you step into the field yourself, but until then we hope these tips help you:
1. Target Sites with Potential Audience: Not all traffic is good traffic- this is something you should keep in mind as a blogger. Therefore, you should be really thoughtful about which sites you are choosing to submit your guest posts since you obviously want traffic that sticks around. You need to target websites where you can find a potential audience. Writing a guest post certainly takes a lot of time and energy from your end and you do not want to waste it on a site whose audience are not your targeted audience. You want the people reading your post to be intrigued by it and click on the site and find more content that interests them. Therefore, choose wisely.
2. Write well, really well: This is no brainer, but we have to mention it: A guest work submission should be your best work. You need to take the time off and produce something that is of high quality since great sites are usually very particular about the type of content they share with readers. Take extra time and effort to check your grammar, spelling and punctuation. Edit several times, and if you aren’t confident enough, then get your post proofread by someone who is well-versed in English. Since site owners and gatekeepers of guest posts do not have a lot of time in their hands, the less your post has to be edited and formatted the more chances that it will get published.
3. Benefit readers, not yourself: The chances of your guest post being accepted are higher when the blog owner feels that your post is going to benefit the readers. Therefore, before you submit your post, make sure to read the blog, go through it thoroughly so that you can get a good feeling
4. Interact in the comment section: When your post goes live, it is important, as a blogger, that you interact as much as possible with your readers. And the best way to do it, is through the comments section. This will help your host, and it also gives you a higher chance to share your expertise and build connections and relationships easily.
5. Make it easy for your guest post to be accepted: You should always be kind at all times to your readers, and especially when your post has been rejected or not well-accepted. Be extremely thorough and succinct and keep your emails short and sweet, eliminate the back and forth of emails. Always try and provide “out-of-the-box” content that can prove to be beneficial to your readers but let it be well-written.
