In Consideration of Guest Blogging

Started by TrishaLyn · 1 year ago

I’ve had the opportunity to blog as a guest for a few blogs now, and I’ve been approached by other bloggers interested in guest posting on this here blog.  It’s a weird subject for me.  While it might be nice to put the reigns down every once in awhile and get a fresh take on [...] ...

    Erm, why would you see a guest blogger as a "gang member from a rival gang?"

    If they're posting great content, isn't that a credit to your brand?

    If they're an A-List and are asking you to publish some dubious content, I'd say "no" in a heartbeat.

    It's all about managing your brand, isn't it?
    And co-opetition can be a valid asset in the space.

    If your guest post is adding value to readers then it is perfectly ok to allow a guest post.

    Guest blogging I think benefits both parties. When a guest blogs for you they typically bring over some of their peeps while also being exposed to some of your readers and vice versa for you as a guest blogger.

    I do understand that added stress factor in guest blogging, I want my guest post to rock for my buddy blogger, so I get a little critical/crazy about it being a good post.

    I've written for another blog before and plan to do more of it. I am always careful though - I want to make sure I am providing quality content in my own voice .. I never want to make someone's blog look bad

    I accept guest posts but I am rather selective. My site is my baby :) and I work very hard to provide a high quality to my readers. I want my site to grow and be known as a resource of sorts. I think people have a lot to offer so I will definitely read an offer.

    It helps but I think blogs who have too many guest posts (unless thats the actual point) hurt its readership because there is no consistent voice to count on.
