Can’t Blog? Easiest Way Out…

04 Oct

Posted by YC as Blogging

Just have a few guest bloggers!

It is really that simple. And if you are one to suffer from the perennial blogger’s block, make sure you have more than your fair share of blogger friends who can help you out! This is by far the best way to ensure posting continuity on your blog, as well as fostering strong ties with the blogging community.

My friend Heather, who has a splendid blog Home With Heather, spends a great deal of her time providing quality tips and advice on Internet Marketing, Web 2.0 and much more to newbies and work-at-home individuals. She has invited guest bloggers to participate on her blog, partly due to her current priorities on a new home. I volunteered, and hopefully produced an article which I hope she is satisfied with. You can read it here where I talk about the Merits of Strong Positive Desire.

If you wish to showcase your new content to her audience, feel free to contact her for more information.

You can easily find other blogs that also open their doors to contributors. Sarah of blueJAR.com will be enjoying a long 2 week vacation at the end of October and she will be opening up her blog to guest bloggers during this period. If you have something interesting to share on being a webmaster, blogger or on the Internet, this might be your chance to reach out to over 11,000 unique visitors a month.

However, if you are still hitting the wall or face similar situations as Heather and Sarah, take the lead from them and ask for guest submissions. Not only can you share your audience, but they are also giving you a hand till you can blog again!

Totally happy with your post YC! :)

Guest blogging is a great thing… for both the guest blogger (I think ;) ) and the blog. The guest blogger gets more exposure with a new audience, and it can really help out the host blogger when they are in a jam.

Thanks again.

Guest blogging on several other blogs (including BlueJar) has been a great way for me to gain some exposure. I recommend it to others.

Sounds swell to get over your blogging phobia. How does it work? do you create a guest name and password?

@ GnomeyNewt - You’re welcome! I’d love to join in but I can’t say for now! :)

@ Heather - Thanks to you, for sure!

@ Chris - I look forward to getting one out to you soon!

@ Dana - Yeah I won’t say no to a guest post from you :)

@ Steven - I am telling you m8, your blog is awesome - I highly recommend everyone to check it out - you certainly know a thing or two about blog marketing.

@ Alex R - You just need to invite other like-minded bloggers, or make a request for them, to write a post for your blog, upon which you can publish it accordingly. Let me know if you are still unsure of how it works.

@ Chessnoid - Thanks sir! Hopefully I can!
