First, when it all goes well, it is a chance for you to expose your best work to potentially thousands of new readers on on someone else’s weblog. Assuming you are selecting a good website that deals with the same general topics as you do, these can be ripe to pop in excess of to your site and join your RSS readership.
Of course, for the publishing weblog, it is a free source of alternative thoughts and ideas. We always say that article is king – through having plenty of original article you generate more opportunities of the search engines sending your traffic. And at times it could be difficult finding new material to write around. Plus, as the publisher, you may just learn something new as well or be inspired to write about a new thought from what you read.
Also, guest blogging is spreading your writing not just on other people’s sites, but also onto whatever social media they use, which can be different to yours. Let’s say, heaps of bloggers will automatically post the new posts to blogger, facebook or their favourite social media network. So your posts are being exposed to these networks of followers. Not merely this, but you are getting links from other websites, for free! And this is a amazing search engine benefit that you will want to take advantage of!
So guest blogging sounds great! Are there any problems with it?
Yes, you have to prepare and present your very best of writing when you are asking someone else to publish it for you. It has to be admirable! If must be interesting enough to tempt the other blogger to allow you to guest on their site whilst also interesting and saying something new so that their readers take note of what you are writing and then take an interest in your blog and visit it.
This means that there can be a couple of iterations of writing each post, as the blog owner asks you to make improvements. It can take quite a while to actually go from first writing the post to seeing it live. Plus, during this time you are being subjected to several what can feel to be quite harsh comments around your writing, either the style of the writing or the article or the way that you handle the subject. I have seen site owners on forums complaining and naming guest bloggers that have written something that they do not agree with 100%.
And then, it goes without saying, there is always the chance of the blogger doing the dirty on you by rewriting it, removing your links and publishing it to other sources, without your links. Or even only removing your links after a couple of days or weeks and you never seeing the search engine rewards nor the extra visitors.
It is well worth guest blogging, just make certain that you select your sites carefully.
