Guest Posting Has Many Benefits
Guest posting works well as a marketing strategy. It benefits both you and your guest writer (the writer). You offer something in return for exposure.
Before we dive into guest blogging best practices, here’s a list of the most important benefits.
Generate backlinks to aid with SEO. If you accept guest posts, many website owners will allow you to include backlinks to your website as a reward for your content. This is an excellent way to strengthen your backlink profiles and increase domain authority.
To increase reach (and to drive traffic). Guest posting is a great way to get your brand out there and reach a specific audience. This will let you show off your authority and make people familiar with your business.
Expanding the network. If someone in your organization has a feature on another publication it is likely that you will start receiving more requests to network. You never know what new business opportunities or partnerships you might find.
Growing your following. You can add links to your company’s social media profiles in your bio. Many publications will also tag the article when they share it on their own accounts.
Guide to Guest Posting
You may need to do some preparation before you can set up guest blogging. However, it’s much easier once you have a process in place. This works for all businesses, regardless of size.
Step 1: Find a Guest Blogging Opportunity
Once you have a place where your data can be stored, you can begin searching for websites within your niche that accept guest posts. Depending on how established your company is, you may search for a wider selection of sites or choose to focus on your particular audience. A backlink that points to a relevant site has more weight than one that links to one that doesn’t.
Step 2: Send your pitch
You can be sure to get a rejection letter for a guest post if you send the same pitch each time. A large number of pitches are received each week by editors at major publications. This means that if your pitch is generic, they might delete it.
Step 3: Send a Follow-up Email
Most guest pitches are rejected. Don’t be discouraged when you only get back 10 of your 50 guest pitch pitches. It’s normal.
While editors might not reply to emails simply because they’re not interested, some might actually forget. If the editor has not stated otherwise, it is important to send a retweet email.
Step 4: Write the guest post
While acceptance of your pitch doesn’t guarantee publication, you need to still be on your game. Also, publishing your article will not guarantee publication. However, you must make sure that people who read it are impressed and want more information about your company.
