In this section we want to recap what we define as the best practices for guest bloggers. You can easily reference this as your cheat sheet if you like.
Always take the time to research the blog owner’s name so you can personalize your email.
If you can’t find the owner’s name reference the blog name in your email. Don’t use the http:// reference as this can sometimes trigger spam filters.
Read the blogs guest post guidelines before submitting your article. Ensure that it meets the required word count, topic and adheres to any formatting guidelines.
Make your blog post easy to read. Use bullet points, lists and bold words when necessary. Keep your paragraphs short and provide lots of whitespace which is easy on the eyes. Don’t forget to include images or graphics if required, again refer to the guidelines for assistance.
Reference other guest blog posts you have done if applicable. This increases your authority in your niche and helps you jump the queue for being accepted.
Have a clear call to action in your bio or resource box. Let the reader know they can get more information or download a free guide by clicking on your link.
Be prepared to reply to comments pertaining to your post.
Use the comments and questions from your blog post as material to create new posts. 9. Try to develop a relationship with the host and see if you can write on a regular basis for them.
Write for your readers and not just for the search engines.
Remember that guest blogging brings you an audience and not just visitors.
Direct the readers of your guest post to a free giveaway on your site. This way you can keep in contact with them and let them know when you have added new content.
Tweet about your guest post and post it on your Facebook page.
Research your target blog carefully.
See how many posts were written by other bloggers. This will give you a good indication of if the owner even accepts guest posts.
Edit your post very carefully before submitting it.
Include a short bio with a link to a relevant topic or giveaway on your site.
When looking for site look for those where the owner states that they are going away on vacation or travelling and target those as these owners have a more urgent need for material immediately.
