Very helpful to someone like me who has yet to ‘dip a toe in the water’ when it comes to guest blogging. I have identified a local company, done the research, written, polished, sweated over two guest blog pieces and was wondering about the next step. A tiny part of me fears the rejection but I guess sometimes we have to believe in our own work. Off to work on steps 4,5 and 7. Many thanks. Sara

Another excellent post from you on the subject of guest posting. I’m especially keen on #6 and #10. Internal linking to previous posts is very flattering! It means you’ve spent some time on the site. It shows that you’re speaking to the site owner’s audience. It means that you’ve encouraged readers to dig deeper to find out more on the topic and to spend more time on the blog. Really good!

#10 wait to hear feedback and wait to be published. Sometimes it happens straight away and sometimes we have to wait. Just the nature of the game.

You’ve introduced two new tools to me: Topsy and Delicious URL search. I’ll be adding those in to my To Do list for today :D

For anyone interested in guest posting, I love publishing posts from other bloggers on my site! Ann Smarty (author of this post) recently published one of her informative posts about guest blogging on BlogCatalog.com where I serve as a featured editor.

If you’d like to guest post for me on my blog or on BlogCatalog, hit me up. I’m always looking to meet new bloggers.

Although I follow most of them, number 4 really widened my horizon:

Step 4: Create a good email pitch

I used to be really sloppy with that one, but thanks to you, my next guest post
will kick triple ass !

This way you will at least save time on sending emails back and forth.

P.S. I would skip step 4 and email bloggers who I know, that’s why my aim is to make friends first. Then email my quest post offer.

Personally though I think that guest posts should be considered as ‘reference posts’ for the guest blogger. Many guest posts are written by less known bloggers and in my opinion only are valuable if of high quality.

IMHO guest posts aren’t about ‘landing that one link’ but about building your brand, exposing yourself to another audience. Personally I expect ‘resumé quality’ posts from guest bloggers. My blog is like ‘my living room’, if I let someone else gig in my living room they have to be high quality. Of course a majority of guest posts I receive I do not publish because of the poor quality submitted (or because they are not unique articles and have already been published elsewhere).
I can think of several blogs with more than 20k subscribers where a ‘standard/meh’ guest post won’t bring you more than 10 clicks and serves merely as free content. But imagine the value you could get out of the same opportunity if you write killer content. Added value for both the host and guest blogger.

I think that ‘social media’ as a whole is about educating and informing. As a result I don’t see any reason not to accept a guest blog, even if it does come with an outgoing link. The result is a richer and more diverse blog which is the ultimate aim anyway.
Or have I got the bull by the udder on this one?

But it can enable us to make the crucial decision as to whether we indeed find our own work effective and interesting or we have to improve it some more.

Last but not least it also often is the only thing you get when your content is scraped. And a well placed link will regularly receive more than 10% clicks. :)

That’s an awesome way to make your post more valuable to the blog you’re guest posting for. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips.
