Yesterday I wrote a post on “What Guest Blogging Can Get You“. Having said that, few people might not know how to find a guest blogger for your blog or find blogs where you can write guest post.Here are a few ways which can help you get the work done.
How To Find Guest Bloggers For Your Blog?
1. Make A Page By Name “Write For Us”:
This is the best thing you can do to get a guest blogger for your blog. There are many bloggers who are willing to guest post, but the only thing is that they don’t know whether you accept guest posts. So when you create a page for showing that you accept guest post, more people will come forward.
2. Write A Post Saying So:
This is the second option I would suggest for you. If you are looking for guest bloggers, then make a post and ask about it publicly. If you have many people see the post, then you will get few guest post offers. You can enhance this tip and link the post in your sidebar where it will be visible.
3. Ask for Guest Bloggers In Forum:
Yes this works well. Especially if you have a new blog, then forums are the best place where you can get guest bloggers. Just make sure you don’t spam the forums. Most forums have a separate thread for topics like this. Head over there and make a post. You will get good results.
4. Contacting The Blogger:
I would not suggest this unless you have a well performing blog or a blog with couple hundreds of visitors. The reason for it is because the bloggers you contact will write for you only if your blog is famous. Once again I remind you not to spam. Be polite and you will get it. One more advise is that don’t contact high profile bloggers. Surely Darren or Brian won’t make a guest post in your Brand new blog(unless you know them personally). So contact bloggers of same level as you or maybe one step higher and not more than that.
How To Find Guest Blogging Opportunities?
1. Make A Page By Name “Services”:
You can list the services you offer in this page. You may include guest blogging as one of your services. So when a intermediate or high class blogger visits your blog and likes the your blog posts, you might get an opportunity to make a post in his/her blog.
2. Look Out For Blogs Which Ask For Guest Posts Or Which Already Has Guest Posts:
If you browse all blogs, you will find few blogs which allows guest post. List them in a note pad or any where and then mail everyone(without spamming) on what you have to got for them. If you have great content then your article will be published and if not, it won’t be published. As simple as that.
3. Forums Come Helpful Here Too:
Again if you want to guest post for other blogs, then ask it in the forums. When you make a post, you would be surprised to see the result. You will get more opportunities than what you can handle. But don’t ignore the bloggers once you have accepted to do it for them.
4. IM And Social Networking Sites:
Without Spamming, Without Spamming and hundred times I’ll say without spamming. Get on your IM and send a message to your friends saying that you can make a guest post for them. Try posting messages to your friends in sites like Orkut. You can even try Facebook, Pownce, Twitter and others.
So now you know how to find guest bloggers for your blog and also how to find guest blogging opportunities. Start it today or whenever you wish. But don’t forget to tell me your results. You can also tell few other tips on how to find guest bloggers and guest blogging opportunities in the comments or on your own post.
