Have you written a guest post? Well, I have written some but I will be writing more this month, because of the Blogging Idol Contest. So in this days, while I was writing some guest posts, I noticed that there are some factors you need to consider when you are going to write a post in another blog motivating me to write this post.
I will give you a little example. Here at Mr. Javo dot Com, I write with my own style, I know what the people will like and what not. But the audience which I write for in my blog, will be not the same in another blog for obvious reasons. So, the first thing you need to do is Meet The Audience. You need to see in which kind of posts of the other blog receives the more quantity of comments. If you see that the other blog receives more comments in “How To” posts, you should think on writing a “How To” post! But wait, I’m not telling you that you need to copy the other blogger, if so, the guest post would be “more of the same”. You need to conserve your style and this way you will be attract the attention of the readers.
The other thing you need to consider, is to Maintain The Quality. If you ask me for a guest post, I would like to see some of your posts and certificate the quality of them. If your writing is enough good, I will be glad to have a post written by you in my blog. I will be expecting a post of the same quality than the others I read before… If you write something poor, or may be you write about a topic covered by me before, probably I will reject your post.
In addition, if the blogger is giving you an opportunity to write in his blog, you should Deliver The Post Ready to be Published. Before deliver your post to the blogger, you should check it several times, looking for grammar errors. Also, if you are registered in the blog and you can write the post directly through the panel, I recommend you to preview the post to be sure that it looks good, without imperfections between the paragraphs or in the images. This way, the other blogger just needs to read and approve the post, saving his time of centering the images, for example.
The readers will be wondered when they visit a blog and find a guest post over there. If you want to catch them as subscribers, you need to make them feel that your post Worth Reading. In this case, you need to make the title catchy and this way you will have all those people reading your guest post and visiting your blog, getting many of them as subscribers.
And the last and more important thing is to Be Yourself. It’s a guest post! You need to offer what you have in the other blog, so have fun and let it flow. Write with your own style, with your same attitude and try to give your best!.
