Guest Blog Posting Is SO Awesome!

It’s the quickest way to do the following:

1) Get into the hearts and minds of others who are on a similiar life journey as you

2) Builds traffic to your site … quickly

3) You build friendships with those that you partner with

4) Your products and services are showcased

5) Your mission is noticed

and that’s just off the top of my head!

I plan to launch a full on guest blog posting (complete crazyness) schedule very soon. It’s something that I know will kick start the year and this blog into some fun friendships and also bring me lots of traffic and sales fast. 

My 2012 Kick Off will be AMAZING!

There are a number of ways to find guest blogging opportunities and I plan to provide you a tour of how you can get great exposure through guest posting.

Whether you search for blogs that publicly accept submissions, approach blogs directly, use a guest blogging site or a combination of all those methods, there are plenty of opportunities to be found.

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether or not you want to write for a particular blog.

While you may have other considerations, the factors I’ll cover here will include targeted audience, traffic and community interaction.  It’s up to you which you spend the most time on and depends on what is most important for you.

In the coming days I’m going to share with you exactly how to get your own blog posting schedule going by getting deep into the topic.

Finding The RIGHT Blogs

Before you write your first word, make sure the audience is truly targeted for you. Would they make good readers of your blog and customers for your products? While there may be plenty of blogs who write on the same subject matter as you, they may not be the right fit.

For example, if you write on political subjects, writing for a blog that doesn’t match your ideology may not be the best idea.

Or if you have a cooking site that features “from scratch” recipes, you may not find the opportunity to write for a blog that promotes quick and packaged fixes for meals a good fit for you either.

Ultimately, it’s up to you decide if the target audience is right for you, but do your homework first.

Some blogs you come across may include guest post submission guidelines.

If so, always make sure you follow the guidelines to the letter.

If there is no submission information, don’t let this stop you from submitting a post for consideration.

To find submission guidelines, always look in the website menus (top, side and bottom) of the page or search on Google for “websitename.com submission guidelines”, “websitename.com submit post” etc.

Whatever method or methods you use to find blogs, make sure you do a quality assessment before jumping right in.

Quickly …  here are some sites you can do a good search for some blogs now:

• Google.com
• Technorati.com
• Alexa.com
• MyBlogGuest.com

Next we’ll talk about looking at a sites traffic in order to recognize if it’s a blog you’d like to post at. Most of all follow your heart, it’s important to put your efforts to things that are worthwhile.
