Effective Guest Posting Tips


In this article I am going to talk about the benefits of using guest posting to drive traffic to your website or offer.
The reason why you would post your own content on someones else's website is to leverage the traffic that particular website already has.
If you post an article on a blog or site that is in the same niche as you, your audience is already a targeted one. They already have an interest in the content of your article and therefore they are likely to be interested in visiting your own website or taking you up on any offer you might mention in your article.
When you write a guest post you are able to add a resource box at the end of your post. Since your article will be read by a targeted audience it is an ideal opportunity for generating traffic or building your list as readers can click on the link in your resource box - provided it is relevant to the article you have written!
Here are 4 tips that will help you to get the most out of your guest posts.
1. Good Quality & Relevant Content.
Your article should be well written and provide valuable information to the readers of the blog. This is important for you and also for the blog owner. If your content doesn't match the readers interest then your article will most likely be rejected. Make sure that the content is relevant to the readers of this blog and is in your own niche.
2. Maximum Traffic.
Since you are using guest posting to gain traffic to your own site or offer you need to make sure that the blog you post on has lots of traffic. The more traffic this blog has the more targeted people will read your article and the more traffic you will generate!
3. Resource Box
Give readers a reason to click on your link in your resource box. Make sure that what you offer here is consistent with the article you have written.
4. Build Your List
If your primary objective is to add subscribers to your list then use guest posting with a link to a squeeze page rather than to your website. Offer readers a free gift as an incentive to join your list.
If your guest posts provide value and are well-written, they will also serve to increase your online visibility and help your reputation as an expert and authority in your niche.
