You should definitely try to guest post more in the future; it's a win/win for both the guest and the host! Let me know when you do, so I can cheer you on. :-) Thanks for stopping by.Jennifer Brown Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525705931988259779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-43883693611587212002013-03-07T06:29:22.409-08:002013-03-07T06:29:22.409-08:00Thought I should soften my response a tad - as a h...Thought I should soften my response a tad - as a host blogger, guest posts can be a wonderful help and addition to the lineup. As a writer - I agree with you, Jennifer, they provide great opportunities. :-) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-35542486159911269452013-03-05T21:06:52.238-08:002013-03-05T21:06:52.238-08:00Yes, I recommend guest blogging because it increas...Yes, I recommend guest blogging because it increases traffic to your own site, but also because it's FUN! You meet great people that way, and it boosts your credibility. <br /><br />My problem is guest blogging consistently. I'd see better results if I appeared more regularly on other sites. That's why I'll be dedicating an entire month to guest blogging this year. It should be fun. Sarah L. Webb | S. L.

While it is in some ways, as you said, they are not entitled to jump in just because they want to. <br /><br />Another thing to consider is the blog's guest post guidelines. Of the dozens of people who've approached me about it, only two or three people followed my guidelines. By not following the blog's guidelines, you make more work for the host, and you are less likely to get accepted. This is one reason I've temporarily taken my guest post tab down on my blog. I don't have time to walk everyone through the guidelines, nor respond to an impatient message about why I haven't gotten back to them yet.<br /><br />Thanks for these great tips. I've been meaning to submit more guest posts, so I appreciate the reminder. :)<br />Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
