5 Efficient ways for Better Guest Blogging

1. 5 Efficient ways for Better
Guest Blogging

2. When executed correctly, guest posting can be a
great way to promote your own business or
product to loyal readers of other websites that are
related to your niche and at the same time, increase
your author rank and organic visibility!

3. “I’ve just started trying to get guest posts live
and no-one’s seem to get back to me?”
Since a ton of people are trying to guest post, the probability of
a getting a post live is much lesser than it was, in previous
years. If you’re really struggling to get responses, read on…

4. 1. Make it personal
On an average day a Blog
Owner receives anywhere
between 5-20 guest post
requests, so to even stand
a chance at getting your
initial pitch read, you’ll
really have to stand out
from the crowd.

5. “You had me at hello”
When a guest post enquiry starts with “Dear/ Hey admin / Hi
Client/ Dear Ms. Bruce [No Way]” You’ve already lost your
shot, Try just “Hi Sarah” It is Personal & friendly.

6. Make that extra effort to personalize your
outreach and you’ll stand a chance of getting
your guest post reviewed.

7. 2.Good Grammar & Spelling
When you’re trying to convince a blog owner to publish your
content on his/her blog and your initial outreach e-mail
contains grammar and spelling errors, don’t expect to receive
a positive response.
“Check your existing outreach e-mails”

8. We’ve all made this mistake before. First impression is
always the best impression.
I now triple check any outreach e-mail before hitting
submit just to make sure any mistakes have been taken
care of.

9. 3. Keep trying.
 How many times have you submitted an
initial outreach e-mail and left it at that?

10. 3. Keep trying.
 How many times have you submitted an
initial outreach e-mail and left it at that?
 I try to make sure I follow up any
outreach attempt at least 3 times.
Webmasters are busy and it’s possible
that you caught them at the wrong time.

11. Try to wait a week before
chasing up any enquiries.
Chase up your initial enquiry
but don’t chase up too many
times.
Or You might get the
reputation of a Spammer!

12. 4. Flattery is food for the Fools
Guest Blogger - “Hi, My
name is X and I am a
huge fan of your blog.

13. 4. Flattery is food for the Fools
Guest Blogger - “Hi, My
name is X and I am a
huge fan of your blog.
Blog owner - <sarcasm>
Oh wow. Another huge
fan of my blog.

14. This doesn’t work unless it’s legitimate & Honest.
If you want to go down this route of outreach, then I
suggest you read up on what the site really has to
offer, submit a few comments, try to get in touch with the
webmaster via twitter or G+ before claiming that you’ve
been a reader for the past few years

15. 5. Use your Authentic profiles
Try to connect your outreach
efforts with a real account.
Sign-up to G+ with the e-mail
you’re pitching from.

16. 5. Use your Authentic profiles
Try to connect your outreach
efforts with a real account.
Sign-up to G+ with the e-mail
you’re pitching from.
A number of webmasters
will have Rapportive or
an equivalent add-on
installed. If your twitter
and other profiles show
up, you may get a shot at
getting your post live.

effort has gone into it. I suggest creating a new
account with your personal details.
• Remember to be creative with
your interests and try to
marry your likes and dislikes to
the type of site you’re attempting
to get a link from.
