Getting people to contribute
guest posts to your blog isn't always easy, though, but if you have the right
approach you can easily turn your blog from a blog with no guest bloggers to a
blog everyone wants to guest post on. This article will be giving you a few
tips on how to attract guest bloggers to your blog and start Making Money with it.
Create a Dedicated Page for
Guest Blogging
The first step you should take
when you want a lot of people to write for your blog is to create
a page on your blog dedicated to inviting guest bloggers to your blog. This page should be
telling people what they will get from writing for you and what they should
write about. Displaying your stats on this page (if you get a lot of visitors
to your blog) can also increase the chances of you attracting a lot of quality
visitors to contribute to your blog.
Once you have created a guest blogging dedicated page on your blog you should
then work hard on marketing that page, promoting it on your blog posts, and
then sending it to your email list so as to get a lot of people to write for
your blog.
Look for Cool Ways to Reward
Guest Bloggers
You can also quadruple the
chances of people wanting to write for your blog by being creative with the way
you reward guest bloggers. It is important to always allow
guest bloggers to be able to gain backlinks from
their guest posts.
You might also want to be
promoting their guest posts to your social media sites and to your list, and if
you can afford it, paying people to write guest posts for your blog will also
increase the chances of the results they will get.
Always Work on Making Sure Your
Blog is Beneficial to Guest Bloggers
The final way to make sure a
lot of people are willing to contribute to your blog is to work on making sure
your blog is beneficial to guest bloggers.
- By
this, I mean you should work on marketing your blog and each guest post
submitted regularly, thanking each guest blogger every month, promoting
every guest post submitted massively and even linking to your guest
bloggers in future articles.
Show Recent Guest Posts In
Sidebar/Footer
Another innovative way to
attract guest bloggers to your blog, show the list of recent guest articles
written by guest authors in the sidebar or footer. The recent guest article
gets linked from all the pages of your blog and it attracts more readers to the
guest article.
Naturally, this tells every one
coming to your blog that you are giving importance to guest bloggers and also,
it shows people are already writing for your blog. This triggers the visitor to
publish his/her first guest article in your blog and slowly, you will get
number of guest authors naturally.
Conduct Guest Blogging Contest
You could announce a guest blogging contest in your blog. This is one of
the powerful method to attract guest bloggers because people love contests for
2 reasons: to create maximum exposure to their own blogs and to Make money.
When your blog is in growing
stage, you can find other bloggers in your niche as partners to jointly promote the contest. This
helps your blog as well as the partners blog to attract more guest bloggers.
Finding sponsors to your
contest is not really a tough job, you can spend money from your own pocket, ask for sponsors
from related forums or directly contact the product owners in your niche for
sponsorship. Definitely, you have to hardly promote the contest – the more
you promote and offer cool prizes, you will get more guest authors.
