Making Time to Guest Post
Posted on November 24th, 2008, in Blogging | 3 Comments »
While it can be hard to find the time to post on other people’s blogs, no matter the reason you have behind doing it, you’ll see rewards that far outweigh the time constraints. Sometimes, it can be twice as effective to write guest posts versus writing posts that will be published on your own blog.
So, instead of trying to write an extra post in your day to make time for guest posting, I would advocate taking the time away from your own posting and dedicate it towards writing an amazing guest post.
Even if the blog isn’t bigger than yours in traffic, RSS readers, or listings in search engines, it can still provide huge benefit from being highly focused, or giving your blog the variety of links it needs to be highly recognized from search engines like Google.

Hey, you can use me as a case study for guest posting. I never thought guest posting was all that until I started doing it. It’s always a personal debate on whether I should publish an article on my blog or someone elses blog. However, it becomes tricky when you guest post on a couple of different blogs and they sort of overlap each other. You write this awesome post but then you get stuck trying to figure out which blog it would do the best on. Damn these kind of decisions we have to make!

- David PeraltyThat is something I really want to get into. Get some guest posts spread around…just have to find the time to do it, and find some places to post heh
