  1. The only thing you should have to do when posting a guest post is download the attachment and post it yourself into your blog. The guest author wants to promote themselves and if they want to do it they should send you a post ready to do that. Thanks for sharing.

    • @Claire,

      I agree with you totally about sending a ready-to-post article. When I send guest posts to blogs where there is no option to register as a user, I usually send a html format and a plain text format. This is to easy the work for the host blogger. However, if guest bloggers are expected to register (as it happens on this blog) it will be a good idea to submit your post taking the time to format it so the host blogger will not spend much time in reviewing it.

      Thanks for the comment.

  2. I think guest posting is a great way to get “fresh” and “new” opinions onto your site. Also, it gives you a bit of break from writing. 😉

    • @Car Accident Attorneys,

      You are right about getting fresh and new opinion on your site with guest blogging. But for giving you a break from writing, I think that is not really it. If you stay of writing as a blogger because you are publishing guest posts, you will soon discover that your blog will lose readership. You know, guest post cannot really take the place of your own “voice” on your blog. Once your readers have come to identify with your writing style, staying off and publishing only guest posts will harm your blog. Or don’t you think so?

  3. Totally agreed with your points, Guest posting only helps you to get quality backlinks, relevant traffic but also gives you an opportunity to establish yourself as an authority in your niche.

    • @Aasma,

      Do you know that of all you listed I’m very much interested in “establish yourself as an authority in your niche?” That can do a whole lot of things for you. If you aim for that in your guest post, every other thing will fall into place – other webmaster will link to your posts, readers will eagerly promote your articles on the social media sites … You can name more!

      That is why in my series on guest blogging, I encourage everyone to decide on what they want before writing their guest posts.

  4. Hello there this is really a great help for those who are up to online business, the part that i really love here is the first and second, we must create a better and unique brand for our blog, this will attract many readers and visitor, aside from that, if we need traffic we must have an SEO to do it. they are special workers in raising one sites potential into the fullest. for example using back-link, content and many more.

  5. I think if you do a guest posting, you should never copy these text to your own blog. To write a guest posting is a fair deal, you’ll receive a link and the blog owner receive the unique content.

  10. Really helpful tips, and it is actually what I had been searching for. I’ve just started my new blog, and I have heard so much about the importance of linking to other freelancers. I think I should give your method a try and ask my friends for some testimonials. I unfortunately haven’t done anything like this before, so your useful tips could be very helpful for me. Thanks for sharing them!

  11. I have always wanted to write a guest post on a few blogs. I will be writing one in the coming months. Guest blogging not only brings the much needed backlinks, but also helps one establish as a blogger whenever website is new.
