A post for bloggers with effective guest blogging tips to experience its benefits and to perform well in the blogosphere.


Most of the website owners have started considering guest blogging very seriously as it is an effective marketing technique in the online world. Not only bloggers, even multinational companies have started guest blogging for some valid reasons.

If you are an influential blogger, I am sure that you have already started to guest post on other blogs of your same niche and tasting its benefits.

But if you are a newbie blogger, then you might ask “What is guest blogging?” and “Why should I write guest posts on other blogs?”

Yeah, both are good questions! But before answering to it,let me ask some questions because I always taking care and love to read other blogs :)

Add “Do you” for every question of mine!

1. Want to increase credibility among your blog readers?
2. Need to have more blog subscribers?
3. Prefer the natural promotion for your blog?
4. Desire to gain more visibility and traffic to your blog?
5. Favor effective link building method?
6. Wish to make friendship with fellow and prominent bloggers?

I know, all your answers for my questions are “YES” as you are a passionate blogger. Then do “Guest blogging” on active blogs to reap these benefits.

Now here is the answer for your very first question:

What Is Guest Blogging?

"Guest blogging is a strategy of appearing on other same niche blogs with your fresh post as a guest."

But be sure that your guest post should not ruin the status of the blog where you are appearing as a guest blogger. It means that you need to submit quality guest posts on other blogs and help those blog owners to get good traffic through your posts.

Hope you are now somewhat clear with “Guest blogging and its benefits”. Am I correct?

I always used to write high quality guest posts for my blogging friends and influential bloggers. Also am feeling virtuous as this is my 13th guest post in my 5 months blogging career.

Ok, let me explain some common myths of guest blogging.

Guest Blogging Myths

Myth #1. Number of guest posts approved is important than its quality.
Some bloggers performing guest blogging just to build backlinks to their blog. They are showing interest to create more number of guest posts on various blogs and never mind about its quality. It is a bad practice and should be avoided by the bloggers.

Truth: Quality guest posts sounds greater than more no. of guest posts submitted just for link-building.

Myth #2: Blogs should have good PR to submit guest post on other blogs.
Newbie bloggers think that their blog should have high Pagerank to submit their guest post on other blogs. It is not true! My guest posts were accepted in PR4 and PR3 blogs and my blog’s page rank is 0. So, don’t hesitate to guest post on energetic blogs even if you have low or zero page rank.

Truth: Valuable guest posts which are helpful for the visitors are readily accepted in famous blogs.

Myth #3: Taking much effort for guest blogging is waste
I came across few bloggers with the statement “Why should I write long and quality posts just for backlinks and I have alternate ways for it”. No it is really wrong and the bloggers should not expect instant results from guest blogging.

Truth: Guest blogging is only effective if it focused to have long term benefits.

Tips To Get Your Guest Posts Accepted

1. Try to impress the blog owners whom you are selected to submit your guest posts with polite approach and explain why you have selected their blog to submit your post.


2. You should write guest post for related niches with good PR and high authority blogs, so sure to be thorough with their guidelines of guest posting.


3. Follow your unique style in writing to stand out from other guest bloggers.


4. It is really exciting to see your name on well performing blogs right? So include a simple and gorgeous Author-bio for your guest post.


5. Make efforts to engage the visitors from the beginning of your guest post by offering some fresh or unread data for them.

I get over 10,000 daily page visits on my blog. I network like mad. So I snag that many visits. If I did not network at all I might as well write a diary.

Blogging is creating value and networking. Talented bloggers with no network struggle to make money blogging or to even attract a few readers.

Networking machines who might not be talented bloggers usually make money blogging because their massive network of friends trust them.

Example
Observe the most successful people on earth: Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet. Each person builds a massive network of friends to aid them. To inspire them. To promote them.
When you have a gazillion people on your side life becomes so much easier. 10, 100 or 1,000 other bloggers promote your content. Which is how I get 10,000 page visits on a daily basis.

So how do you build a massive blogging network?

1# Be a Friend to Become a Friend
Be a friend. Support people you meet. Be nice. Be helpful. Be a friend. This is simple. This simple act sets the foundation for a prospering relationship.
How do you treat offline friends? Well treat your online blogging friends the same way. Help. Go above and beyond to support your friends.

2# Create Comments like Content
The easiest way to make an impact in minutes is to read a blog post and create a memorable, valuable, piece of content with your comments. You will stand out from the crowd and make a ton of friends.
Comments can be your best friend in the networking department. Bloggers love receiving comments. Awesome comments? Well heck, you will have a blogger friend for life if you post 3-4 paragraph masterpieces on their blog, because each comment is a piece of content.

This means that search engines love crawling sites and seeing many insightful comments. Active, engaging blogs do well in search engines which of course spikes your blog traffic quickly.


3# Create Guest Posts for Buddies
I reached out to Ankit to see if he needed me to write a guest post. He did. So I churned this out. Here I am, making buddies with his audience and strengthening my relationship with Ankit too.

My network grows stronger and guess what? Guest posting benefits me too. Win-win situation here. I expand my presence and boost my blog traffic while providing Ankit with helpful, relevant content for his blog.
So our friendship grows stronger, my network expands and both parties win.
Be aggressive on the guest posting front to become a real networking machine. Famous entertainers network like mad, collaborating with other singers. Same deal with guest blogging. Showing up everywhere makes you memorable.

4# Open Up Your Blog to Guest Posting
This one is tough to follow for many bloggers. Perfectionists or selfish people want all the publicity for themselves. Unfortunately, selfish, greedy people make few friends in this world.
Generous people become networking machines. Because generous people are popular; we all love free givers.
I have roughly 20 guest posters on my blog. More are hopping on board quickly though as I sort through my email and field requests.

Hey, who WOULDN’T want to post on a blog that gets 10,000 page visits daily? And if I allow people to post, to share my platform, I am going to meet more, and more people, and my network grows, and my page visits will jump on autopilot as I simply review, hit “Publish”, and my network grows again.
