Be A Guest and Earn By Posting Blogs

Guest Blogging and Earning 

What if you become a guest in a blog owned by the others and post your writing to their blogs and they give you back with cash in return?? You may ask, is it possible?? Yes!! Not a joke!!

For all of you who do not believe in my words, I can assure you it is happening. There are many good writers who are waiting for a breakthrough to build a strong portfolio, networking with other writers around the world and reach to the potential customers. Posting blogs as a guest could be the best option for them. This process is called "Guest Blogging". It the place for earning money and show off the skills and build connection with other writer or content developer. The payment starts from $20 up to $100 but depends on the quality and how much unique is the content.

In broader sense, guest blogging is marketing tool where marketers, advertisers and even other bloggers come to publish their posts to get links, traffic, subscribers and sales. 

Now I want to share some quick tips who are thinking to write and earn:

Search for the “Paid Blogs”

There are thousands of blogs which pays for guest posting. On so many topics you can write. So search using Google writing “[Your niche] blog that pays for guest post” to find out the topics you are expert in. Use “write for us and then topic”. Some references will be given at the end of this blog in order to save your time.

Start writing according to knowledge and experience

As a guest blogger one has to work hard and keep patience. You need to look for sites that pay for and you also need to get that feel so you can have an idea on how to write for the readers.

No matter how many websites those pay for posting as a guest, you need to focus on the topics that you are passionate or knowledgeable about to publish successful guest post. The reader must spend time in reading, write comments on blog posts, follow them on social media and sign up for the newsletter.

Properly go through the guidelines

Each website has a different set of guidelines that accepts and pays for guest posts. Most of the websites are simple and direct, but you will be surprised to know that how many people fail publish their writing because they didn't follow instructions.

First go read the guidelines properly, especially instructions on the whole article, formatting, back links, word count and author bios. It is good to keep the guidelines copy about the all instructions on a Word file so you can be used as a reference easily if needed in the future.

Then you have to prepare a good piece of writing according to the guidelines and send your full-length guest posts for their consideration. It’s the time for get response for the post from the editor. Editors are busy person’s so sometime it takes 2 weeks to get the response. So don’t waste time to get a response and go on for the next blog, and the next one after that

Some most important things to be remembered

Copying content from the others blog or writing is a very ill practice which may lead to a very bad outcome. Copying content can be easily detected by the Google and it is considered as “Spamming” and considered as "Spam Guest Posting". Few years back, it was the most common practice in guest blogging. The spam guest blogger used the guest blogging platform for spamming. As a result many sites are penalized.

So content must be unique and totally unique. Which could be rewarded with good amount of money by the editors.

Making money through guest blogging is possible but not exactly easy. You need to work hard to improve your writing skills, follow instructions, be patient and consistent, and most importantly, create high quality content that editors want to publish.
