Resuscitate Your Blog Day 26: Guest Bloggers

Posted on 30 January 2010

While blogging is fun and allows you to be creative you may want to consider asking someone else to be a guest blogger.

What they get out of being a guest blogger:

  • Exposure to your audience
  • SEO (links from your site to theirs)
  • Ability to help your audience with their expertise
  • Increase their list (ie. newsletter, twitter, rss)

What you get out of having guest bloggers:

  • A break from blogging :) I know you were thinking that.
  • Allowing someone else to get exposure to your audience
  • Content on your site that complements your expertise
  • Good karma

Leo Babauta of Zen Habits does this fabulously. He has guest bloggers a number of times a week. Leo’s blog is VERY popular (over 156,000 people subscribe to his blog). His guest bloggers gain tremendous exposure each time they are published on his blog. And Leo is so generous, he links to their blog and their twitter profile so that his readers can follow these fabulous guest bloggers ongoing. Leo rocks!
