By Bruce · Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Did you know that one of the easiest ways to promote your blog is by “guest blogging” on other industry related blogs? There are many advantages of doing this. First of all, you get to spread your expertise to a who new following. This immediately increases your visitor traffic because they are looking to you as a new source of relevant content to their interests. Secondly, you will get new sales from marketing your products or services to them. You help build your list, which is the most important benefit from having a blog.

Guest blogging is definitely a hit and miss proposition to do because you will get more no’s than yes’s from other bloggers. There are as many different personalities out there as there are blogs. Many bloggers may consider your competition and not be interested in you guest blogging on their blog. It could be jealousy sometimes that would motivate another blogger to decline your offer. The main thing is that you reach out to as many bloggers as you can that are high in quality and high in page rank.

You have to remember that there are over 200 million blogs on the internet and it is just a “numbers” game to find the right fit for your services. I guarantee that you will eventually find some quality bloggers that will take you on as a bonified guest blogger.

You must do your research too. You must find a blog that has good design, complements your blog in terms of content and style.

On the other side of the coin, always be open when another blogger approaches you to guest author on your blog. You may hit the “jackpot” if you find that the requester is an ace expert in your industry and has a sizeable following and has a high ranking blog. There are so many advantages for you that there is no need to second guess what value he/she will bring to you and your blog.
