Hello Everyone,
I want to start accepting guest posts on my blog as I plan to go into print in 2021. I have a travel blog which will become a Travel Magazine soon. My que
Hi Bolupe
This is a good question but I think Diane has captured the issues correctly. It could work to your benefit if you are able to team up with someone whose niche is related to yours and whose site is about at the same level of maturity and authority as yours. Then you can both benefit from synergy. But if there is a big disparity then it is less likely to work. However, given your niche, if you were able to find someone who covered a different geographical area that could be of mutual benefit.
Good luck
Best regards
Andy
I absolutely agree with you. I will put some requests out in the Facebook Groups I belong to.
Hi - it's a good idea, but there are a lot of potential pitfalls and you need to spell out some ground rules.
Typically, when guest blogging, the writer chooses a relevant subject of their choice, and you allow them to put a link to their own website t the end of the post (not affiliate links). In return, you would write a post for their site with your own link. That way you both benefit.
You don't usually pay them - that would be ghostwriting, whereby you hire a writer but you have the rights to the material and can do with it what you wish. You don't give credit to the writer, you use it as your own work.
You need to specify the minimum word count and that you reserve the right to edit the post or not use it at all. You shouldn't accept poorly written content. You also need to state that it should not be published elsewhere and won't be in the future. And you need a way of checking it for duplicate content. And to be honest, you will only really benefit if it links to a high authority site. If it's a poor quality site or only newly established, it can do more harm than good.
The post that Abie is referring to relates to a member who wanted to start a guest post thread, but he was advised to ask permission from Kyle. The idea had several problems. Imagine if another member spent hours writing a post for you and you refused to use it because it was of poor quality. It could lead to a lot of ill-feeling. And how could you let other members know not to accept a guest post from them?
So, it's not as easy as you think!
Wow, thank you for the pointers Diane.
I will consider my options especially because I’m moving into print - Magazine. I have previously done a few collaboration which give me some back links with no requirement to return the favour.
HI, you may like view below resource. I am also aware a member wanted start a guest blogging sharing, however unaware of where they're at.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up an online payment system for my online business. I have read reviews of Paypal. Stripe, Amazon Pay, Payloee and some others. I am ne
Paypal and Stripe.
However, Paypal has introduced a new policy if you do not use your account regularly you may get charged a fee. Warning: PayPal To Charge a £12 Inactivity Fee - How To Avoid It Depending on your sales if you aim to do large volume in a short period of time, I would consider doing my own transactions gateway. In the past, there has been instances where PayPal froze the money, thus shortage of cashflow.
Furthermore, the more sales you do the lesser the percentage charges.
Thanks, Abie. I have read many conflicting reviews about Paypal. It is difficult to choose the easier, stress-free service
I also use PayPal and stripe. Stripe allows for use of many different types of credit cards.
Laura
Stripe is free and the best but it is also good to have another one also. These 2 are good choices. All the best to you.
Laura
Great question. I'm intrigued as well. Will e interesting to hear answers from helpful members

I have gone back to full time work as a teacher and I am looking for a smart way to keep up with pinning and gaining conversions.
I have approached a Pinterest Virtual A
Have you use tailwind connection with the Pinterest and Instagram. Scheduled pin is easy and fast.
Thank you. I use tailwind for both but I still find that it takes me time to create and schedule. However, paid ads might work faster with the all important website visits
You know WA method is organic search ya. Once you achieved it will becomes our asset for long time.
I worry paid ads is like a big hole can never fill up. If you are strong to pay should be ok. Your landing page must be excellent to get good conversion. When to proceed and when to stop, you can follow the teaching of Jay. That is all I have.
There is no right or wrong, you have to test and see. Do a run, read stats, change elements and test again.
If you hire a professional, boards get updated regularly and would depend on organic reach. Unless you run both.
