I’m here to help you on the path of doing that by telling you one important way of how to do that through guest blogging.

First, How Does Guest Blogging Work?

In case you’re trying to figure how does guest blogging work & don’t already know what it is, it’s when you become a Contributor to somebody else’s blog & write posts with links to your website(s). First you need to tell them you actually want to guest blog for them so they know who you are. Then once you’re setup, all you do is just submit posts for approval or review (with the ability to review over these posts yourself after clicking the “submit for review” button). The whole point of guest blogging is to create back-links to your own websites, which in turn creates traffic to your site along with backlink juice for ranking higher in Google, or get paid doing it for other sites.

Why Should I Do Guest Blogging?

Guest blogging is a great way to increase brand awareness about your company or website, especially if you don't already have a lot of traffic & aren't making many sales yet. When you make posts on other people’s blogs & put your links to your website(s), a lot of that traffic will click on your site links & visit your site through that. So the more posts you make through guest blogging, the more this will build up over time. Then as icing on the cake, it helps with your optimization with Google by creating more “backlink juice” to your website pages.

What Should I look for when Guest Blogging?

Well, the 1st thing you need to look for is if the site owner actually has a guest blogging sign up page available. Reading there guidelines for guest blogging will give you an idea of what they’re looking for in your guest blog posts & how you should set them up. Some examples of what they might be looking for are 400 or more words in length, a picture cropped to the left side of your post, unique & original content, & being well written. Chances are they will probably not want you to copy your content from somewhere else on the web, write to simply advertise your business, or spam your website link all over the place. Write to inform, write to tell people the things they NEED to know for your specific niche, & then write because you enjoy it!
