Be Expert In Your Field (the power of guest posting) – Day 13 WOOGPR
There are so many opportunities available in increasing your blog traffic if you are an expert into your field. One of the most common way to use your expertise is to propose a guest post to a blogger.

What is guest posting?
Guest posting is a deal between you and a blogger (basically with the same niche to yours) on publishing your handcrafted content to his blog to express your ideas to his readers.
It will be a great way to increase the traffic on your blog by adding a link back to your blog in the post. That link is the most important in guest posting. You should ask the blog owner to allow you to add a link (maybe in the end of your post) before you accept a guest posting.
The opening of your submitted content to be published in his blog should start in the opening line “This post was written by (your name) of (your site)” to be recognized that that post was created by you.
How do guest posting work?
By adding a link to your blog, the blog readers of the blogger that you have deal with could be directed to your blog which increases it’s traffic. If you are an average popular on the industry that you are writing on, it will give the blog owner a chance to increase his traffic as well as yours that would give a fair deal on guest posting.
How do guest posting increases your traffic?
Guest posting increases your traffic in many ways.
Blog owner’s RSS readers. When a blog owner publish on his blog, it will be delivered to his individual rss readers that will inform them about your created post. That could direct them to your blog which is the main purpose of guest posting.
Blog owner’s email readers. Frequency of the blog owner on publishing articles will be a great factor. If the blog owner publish quality content everyday, then it could give your post a better chance to be read by his email readers. If his reader subscribed by email and he is actively posting a post a day, his posts are delivered to each email readers everyday.
Then here comes your post. When his email readers read your post and they are directed to the main blog, the link to your blog will be more visible to your readers. That will give more impact on increasing your traffic, as well as your Google page rank.
What can you get in guest posting?
Aside of unique visitors, guest posting can build your credibility as an expert to your field. Blog readers are always finding for the one that is confident on what he says. Someone that they could trust in receiving valuable content that they need.
That’s why I’m always suggesting to write a content on a specific topic where you can become an expert rather than posting for search engine trends where there are very huge variety of topics.
Sooner or later if you became an expert to your topic, someone will hire you to ask for consultation on your expertise. That would be another way on how a blogger make money from their blog.
How to guest post?
Here’s the catch, now you know what guest posting is. You could try this methods of guest posting.
1. Find a blog which is similar to your niche.
2. Ask the author of the blog (email will be a nice way to contact a blogger) that you are interested on offering your hand-crafted content to be published to his blog. In exchange of adding a link to that post.
3. If the deal was made, create your content then send it to the author of the blog by email together with your URL.
4. Monitor your post in his blog.
Tips: So you have seen a great impact to your blog on guest posting, you now want to be seriously attached with this kind of method on working on your traffic status. Make a list of contact persons you have contacted to track your postings when it goes live.

thanks for sharing this useful info. Indeed guest postings are very important if your new to blogging and wanted to build targeted audience that visit your blog. But I don’t thinks this guest posting is offered for free by most of the popular blogs out there. They include that in the advertise section which is a bit painful for the newbie to invest to market his blog. Anyways it would be better if you can start guest posting on blogs that have similar traffic as of yours first and slowly after building your traffic base and earn some money then you can invest that in writing guest posting on pro blogs which can massively drive traffic to your blog.
Besides guest posting, its a better practice to link to a blog popular in your niche and send an email to the admin of the blog mentioning about your link. This in most cases impresses them and they tend to throw a link back to you which will not only bring traffic but also improve your blog ranking.

Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
