Develop online presence with guest blogging
Writing content for other websites or blogs is referred to as guest blogging. It is a wonderful strategy to grow your readership because your name and blog will be seen by new people. You know the audience is already interested in your website because you are writing on a relevant website – all you have to do now is drive them there.
- Begin by looking for relevant blogs. You can accomplish this by searching Google for inurl: "write for us" + your subject, or "guest post by" + your subject.
- Make a list of these and begin contacting the website owners. Inform them that you want to contribute a guest blog post. You will probably get a few rejections at first, but once you have written a couple that you can submit as examples, you will start getting more and more offers.
- You could be tempted to target the most popular blogs, but there is also a benefit in reaching out to smaller sites. You can invite them to contribute to your website, and they will be more receptive to you contributing to theirs.
- If you do decide to write a blog post, make sure to include a link back to your website. You can use social media and, of course, your own website to promote your guest post.
