guest bloggingWondering what a guest blog is?

In simple terms, a guest blog is when you write a blog post and post it on someone else’s blog.

Doing this has its advantages like increasing traffic and blog promotion.

Personally, the thing I like about guest blogging is that it shows how bloggers nowadays are willing to help each other out. Indeed, no man is an island, even in the blogging world.

Remember the blogs you publish as guest posts have to be unique and not published elsewhere.

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the benefit of having several of my blog posts published on other blogs.

Guest blogging is not an easy task. You have to make the blog post one of your best because this is your chance to promote your blog to another blogger’s audience and thus increase traffic to your site.  But it may not be accepted. The owner of the blog wants to share great advice to their readers, not any old rubbish.

If the blog post is accepted and the readers like your post, hopefully they will be interested enough to visit your site.
I have gathered some links that I know you’ll find really informative and helpful with regards to guest blogging. Feel free to check them out.
