The advantages are numerous, especially for newbies and they include:

  1. Attract quality traffic: This is the aim of many guest bloggers. It is a good source of traffic that can easily be converted to subscribers.
  2. Google Indexing and Ranking: By directing links from authority sites to your website has been proven to help gain Google indexing and improve your ranking. It is a decent way to build backlinks to your blogs and push your articles to page one on Google or other search engines.
  3. Build credibility: Making sales from your product or affiliate products shows how much people trust you. The easiest way to help people know that they can depend and trust you is by seeing your work on authoritative sites with good credibility.
  4. Build a brand: Many times, when we search for the content, we lookout for some websites or writers' names. Regularly showcasing your work on authoritative sites will help you build a brand name. When people trust your work, they end up spending more time on your websites. This also will go a long way to improve your ranking on search engines.

Misconception of Guest Blogging

Guest Blogging is a marketing strategy where delivering quality and relevant content is essential. I have highlighted three mistakes you must avoid.

  1. Duplication of content or Article: As bloggers, spend time generating content. It is difficult to submit beautiful articles to blogs other than your blog. The temptation of submitting the same content to multiple websites should be avoided because this will not go down well with the big blogs, it can kill your relationship with the industry giants.
  2. Taking Product Reviews for Content: I am not saying product reviews are not good content. Rather than submit articles with reviews and affiliate links as a guest blogger, give content without sales intent.Contents without sales intent have been proven to be more acceptable since most bloggers desire good content that their readers will appreciate.
  3. Focusing on building links: the link building was one of the advantages I mentioned above, but if link building is your main reason for guest blogging then you are getting it all wrong.

Concentrating on building links rather than delivering content will water down the quality of your work.

Forget about building links, they will come naturally as you work on. It's time we see how to guest post.
