I mentioned in the video the 5 steps to guest posting to increase blog traffic.
Here they are:
- Identify Blogs in your industry
-You can do this by searching for “top 5 ______ blogs” and filling the blank in with your industry
-Search on Google, Yahoo and Bing
-Check Alexa.com to see how much traffic these blogs are getting. Typically smaller blogs give you a better chance of guest blogging there - Connect with the blog owners
a) Share the blog owners posts on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks
b) Connect with them on their personal blog by leaving comments
c) Exchange e-mail or facebook friend request them
d) Speak on the phone or on Skype with them - The benefits to share with these blog owners
-Improved SEO
-Adds content to their site
-Increases incoming links to their blog
-Fresh eyes to see your information - Building the relationships
-You are immediately perceived to be the expert because you are being featured as a guest blogger. This means you need to share excellent content that is not watered down or second-rate.
-Only write about stuff that you can teach people so that you are doing them a favor by having them read your article - Getting others to guest post on your blog
-The benefits of this are that you can be lazy and have other people build content for you
-Leverage the experts, it helps them increase their backlinks and adds content to your blog
