The more guest posts you write
#1
This is one of those things that you’ll hear a lot of bloggers talking about, but very few of them will do it regularly. I’m as guilty here as anyone, although I’ve recently started doing it more regularly and, low and behold, the visitor numbers are increasing.

Guest blogging simply means that you write as a guest author on someone else’s blog within your niche or market.

For example, I’m into online marketing, so I wrote a guest post series on my friend Wayne’s blog entitled How to Get More Fans on Facebook. This post still gets visitors to his site, many of whom follow the link at the bottom of the post to my site.

 and have published, the more traffic you’ll get.

There are many benefits to guest blogging too, including:

You get your middle east mobile number list post in front of a large audience who are already proven to be interested in what you’re writing about.
You form relationships with top bloggers who are already established and who could be great partners for future products or joint ventures.

The fact that you’re featured 
on a well-known blog with a ready-made community automatically gives your post more credence and authority.
Readers who would otherwise have never heard of you will discover you and some will become regular readers.
You get increased exposure to social media sharing via the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
To actually do guest blogging is simple but it requires you to work to get the results, which is why most bloggers shy away from it.

The posts you write need to be original 
in most cases, must not have been published elsewhere (including on your own site). Again, it’s all about providing as much value (ideally actionable, practical material) as you possibly can.

Many people hold back on their knowledge when guest posting, thinking that they’ll somehow run out of either knowledge or topics to write on. You can capitalise on this by providing massive amounts of value, setting you apart and showing just what a caring, sharing expert you happen to be!

Again, to give you an example
 I could have created a product on ‘how to promote your blog’ and made the content you’re reading right now into something you’d have to pay for. However, I’m giving it away on my blog for free, showing my substantial knowledge on the topic and giving you actionable information at the same time (providing value).

The only question that remains is…

‘Where can I guest post?‘

Well, I’m not sure who originated the saying ‘Go big or go home’, but that’s really what applies when it comes to guest posting to promote your blog.

Find the biggest blogs in your market or niche (using Google) and provide mega value for their readership. Here’s a quick checklist
