Hi, Everyone...

I just made a welcome comment to Nicky33 who followed me and I followed her as well...

It brought to mind a subject that we can all help one another with...

Guest blogging...

It can be hard to get started with this and having one or two guest blog post gigs can help you and the receiver as well...

Any Interest Here Between Members For Helping Each Other Out For Guest Blogging?

I offer this blog post as a single place to coordinate initial communication to see who may be interested, what niches they may be interested in for either providing or hosting a guest post...

My niches are travel, drop shipping, e-commerce, online marketing, and affiliate marketing...

What are yours and would you be interested in some guest posts - either writing one or publishing one?

Why Guest Blogging?

In case you are not familiar with the benefits of guest posts, here are a few...

(1) It Can Get You Targeted Traffic

This is the number one reason for me to do guest blog posts. You can get a boost in traffic from new people that are interested in the subject you are writing about.

Adding posts to places such as Stumbleupon in will get you traffic but much of it is only increasing your bounce rate, they come and immediately move on...

Many say that this traffic averages a 90% bounce rate whereas traffic from guest posts spend much more time and a bounce rate less than half...

(2) It Helps You Strengthen Authority (Domain and Search Engine)

Are you looking to build your brand through increasing domain and search engine authority?

Guest posting can do this without any additional SEO gray hat or black hat tactics.

You can build authoritative backlinks to your blog and improve your blog search engine authority because you will get them naturally using this tactic....

(3) Grow Your Online Influence

One way to be able to make a difference in your niche is to be considered someone of consequence - it means that people listen to you...

Of course, I am thinking positive, but it could be negative too if you are not careful. The more people that see what you have to say that can be impacted in a positive manner the better it is for you and for them...

That is influence that you need and get with guest blogging

(4) You Grow Your Authority

Using guest blogging you can quickly build your reputation and position as an authority in a niche. People will follow what you say and suggest, they will respect your advice and statements.

Other top authorities in the niche start seeing your name and content and you will be able to interact with them quickly and further build your authority.

(5) It Helps Build Your Online 'CV'

When you start guest blogging you can add each post to your past performance list and people can see for themselves who you are and what you are all about - a good thing.

The more guest blogging on other blogs you publish the more your CV grows and if you do this regularly you will relay to people that you can be trusted/listened to/followed.

(6) It Can Help You Improve Writing Abilities

Others will check out your writing before they publish your post on their blogs, and the feedback will help you get better.

They want the best and so should you, and sometimes having a third party look at what you are writing is just the thing to help you see how you could improve.

Everyone wins!

Before your proposed guest blog post even gets to the recipient you will find that you are doing better proofreading and editing.

The readers will benefit in that they are getting content that they can relate to, understand, and react to.

Useful and engaging, over factual but boring or unreadable...Full of grammar mistakes versus clear and concise writing that is correct in regards to spelling and grammar...This is what you are shooting for with all your writing and guest blogging will help you improve...

(7) It Helps Build Your Brand

New people see your content on the guest blog and they also see your brand or name. This means that over time you will start getting second and third level recommendations from others for your traffic and promotions...

(8) It Can Help Grow Your Subscriber List

Guest blogging will help you get more targeted and desirable subscribers for you. These can be then grown into customers after you have built a relationship with them using email or other communication means...

(9) New Sources Of Feedback

It can be painful, but constructive criticism is essential for growth. Getting feedback from new people who are reading your content can be very helpful for both parties.

You can get better at what you are providing and they will get to know more about you and what your positions are.

When you guest blog you will have a brand new audience that is looking at your material...They likely will give you their honest opinion of you.

This helps you to improve your writing and ideas.

(10) It Can Help Your Social Media Program

When new people like what they are reading, often they will share on their social platform accounts. Others they interact with regularly see their posts, also like your content and share.

So it goes and yet one more advantage of guest blogging...

There are likely 100 more advantages to guest blogging, but I think you get the point...

BOTTOM LINE

So, again I offer this post as a central clearing point for guest blogging between Wealthy Affiliate members, both for those seeking to have someone provide a guest blog and those wishing to receive one...

Discuss below, and then you can take it from here and get started!

Best of luck!
