Guest posting on well established, popular blogging blogs can help to grow your online business and potentially earn you more customers. But, your content needs to be original, high-quality, engaging and helpful to your target audience. Note: If you are interested in receiving more guest blogging opportunities, ensure you check out the list of top blogs in the particular niche you are interested in. It may take some time but it is worth the effort.
You need to make sure that any guest blogging you do is worthwhile. This means doing something different to attract visitors to your blog. It can be as simple as using a different URL for each blog post or you could write an article with a different, informative title or topic. You should avoid posting any promotional links or traffic exchanges on these guest blog posts or the sites where they appear. There is nothing more distracting than seeing affiliate links, pop-ups or advertising appear when people visit your blog posts.
To create a unique and interesting guest post for a blog that receives a lot of guest blogging opportunities, think about how you can use creative writing skills to provide meaningful information for your readers. Start by choosing a topic that you know your readers will be interested in and one that is not overly saturated on the Internet. You should be able to write an interesting, original and informative article in a limited period of time. When I submitted a 500 words review post for a well known travel website, it took me less than 24 hours but still attracted three new backlinks.
It is important that you include accurate and helpful information about the niche and author bio at the bottom of each article. Do not simply list your company as the primary company providing the product. I recommend that you submit a secondary company if you are going to submit the article to multiple directories. In addition to providing useful information about your company, you can also include links to social media profiles that are relevant to your niche.
While it is always best to follow the standard style of writing when you are writing about your niche, you may find that you need to make some changes to your personal style to make it fit your guest posting roles better. Guest blogging can be an excellent way to build your reputation within the industry or to gain additional visibility on social media. If your guest post includes a review, link back to the review site in your author resource box. As a word of caution, do not make the mistake of copying and pasting content from review sites. This practice will not help you build a good reputation for your company or will cause your articles to be declined.
There are several guidelines that you should follow when you submit a guest post. The first one is to take care of your background and expertise in a specific area. When you submit to blogs and websites that are related to your niche, it will give the readers an idea of your skills and will build trust with the readers.
Second, following the guidelines outlined above, you should also be careful to provide quality content. Some bloggers may have a large following, but they often do not write very many great articles. It is important to submit quality guest articles to blogs and other websites. If the blog owners like your content, then they are more likely to publish it on their site or send it to other guest blog post directories. Your quality content will also show other blog owners that you are an expert and that you know what you are talking about.
Finally, it is important that you do not use the same tired pitching strategies that other guest authors have used in the past. If other guest blog post writers have been successful, then you should not do the same. You should make your guest blogging opportunities unique. One way to do this is to tailor your writing to the guest's niche. For instance, if you are writing about dog training, then you should not talk about cat training in your guest blog posts. You need to make your guest blogging efforts stand out because other blog owners are doing it already.
