Too many guest posts may cause your regular visitors to wonder. What’s so special about your site is that they should check it out instead of guest blogging. Similarly, if the guest bloggers’ contributions are of low quality. They will reflect poorly on the site as a whole in the eyes of the readers.
Table of contents
Make a Public Statement on Your Website or Blog
If you are looking for guest bloggers, one option is to put a call for them out on your site. Create a post advertising your need for contributors, outlining the specifics of the content you seek. Including deadlines, submission guidelines, and other submission details.
This should not only help spread the word but also provide you with some early reader feedback. (i.e., whether they are looking forward to the guest bloggers or not).
Incorporate a “Write for us” Section on Your Website
You may want to build a “Write for us” page if you intend to frequently use guest posts to request contributions from bloggers.
Include information like the blog’s name, what it’s about, and what kinds of posts it accepts. How people may contribute to their work, and so on. More detail here will save time for both you and the prospective guest bloggers.
Advertise in Chat and Online Classifieds
The first two problems can only reach your readers and the folks who happen to stumble into your website. If that doesn’t get the ball rolling, you may need to seek help from elsewhere.
In this case, letting people know that you accept posts on your site through online forums may be useful. Advertisements for guest bloggers may be accepted by some guest blogging websites. Particularly those catering to bloggers and freelance writers.
Make use of Guest Bloggers for Holidays and other Special Events
Guest bloggers are a great way to get people excited about participating in a project or event. Also, it can encourage communication between you and guest bloggers. While giving your audience something enjoyable to do (if planned well obviously).
Incentives for Guest Bloggers Should be Provided
Sincerity requires us to admit that some of your blog’s viewers could be eager to contribute content for free. But, the vast majority of bloggers only do so if they stand to profit in some way. So, there ought to be benefits for both parties.
Final Thoughts
When first starting a blog, it’s best to hold off on inviting guest bloggers until after the debut. Establishing a voice and identity for a new blog is crucial. But inviting guest bloggers too soon may compromise these efforts.
Second, even if there are many benefits to guest blogging. You should still track your progress. And make adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes. The number of comments, pageviews, RSS submission, or some other metric could be used for this purpose.
