How to get the best out of Guest blogging

Having read about guest blogging, its advantages, and the don’ts, it all sounds very simple. But it goes beyond that, below are sets of activities that if followed will help build free website traffic from guest blogging.

1. Research on Blogs that accept Guest Blogging in your Niche

Finding authority websites that will accept guest posting is the first part of the journey. You can surf the net, and your keyword should contain your niche name eg “poultry farming” and a phrase like “submit post”, “guest blogging”, “guest post”.

For the sake of follow up, you can use an excel spreadsheet to take down the website's names, contact details, and the volume of traffic. The volume of traffic being enjoyed by the host site can be estimated online.

2. Select the website with the highest Authority

A website whose traffic is not better than yours will do you no good. The sole aim of guest posting is to access a website with a large audience; you have the responsibility to ensure your host has good traffic, a large audience, and it is of a good reputation.

3. Select relevant Topic

To stand out from the crowd of bloggers waiting to guest post, you must select a relevant topic within the market. Avoid over-saturated topics, search for relevant topics that can show the reasons why you are the best to handle such topics

4. Offer Quality Content

You must be prepared to deliver quality content when you submit a piece, and it must be well structured and properly written.

Your subject and headings must be relevant to the website you are writing on, avoid spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Use content editors like Grammarly (that has free and premium versions), you can take advantage of it for the correction of spellings, punctuations, and grammar.

Try to compare your content with another post on the website to ensure content is not out of place. Maintain your voice and writing style as a unique blogger.
