Bloggers, around the globe, very well know the power of guest blogging. It’s a known fact that guest posts can help earn link backs, drive more traffic to your blog, boost credibility, gain wider exposure and more! There’a a lot that guest blogging can do for your blogs provided, you do not commit mistakes that render all your efforts futile. Not aware of the mistakes we are talking about? Here you go:

Targeting just the top tier blogs:

No! It’s nothing like you shouldn’t target the top-tier blogs. There’a no harm in doing so. In fact, these blogs would actually help you in boosting your credibility and exposure. The only thing wrong with this practice is, targeting just the top blogs in your niche. Instead, you should also try for less obvious opportunities. Busy blogs may or may not give you a chance but these less obvious ones would at least drive in a considerable amount of traffic to your blog.

Aimless guest blogging:

Guest blogging just because all the other bloggers in your niche are doing so is no reason for doing so! Its nothing more than an aimless effort. Blogging is one of the most effective marketing methods. Since the success of any marketing effort lies in a strategic approach, so, blogging without an objective makes no sense. Hence, it’s important to have a clear objective in mind before you give it a try.

Neglecting the research part:

Skipping research can actually land you in embarrassing and unfavourable situations. Want to know how? Well, if a blog has a number of guest posts and you email that particular blog owner to inquire if they accept guest posts, it would sound so dumb! So, it’s advisable to conduct a thorough research and thereafter pitch using genuine and quality content.

Blatantly advertising:

You obviously want to publish guest posts for some other blogs so that your blog gains a wider exposure but blatant advertising is not acceptable. If you solely promote your blog while guest blogging, you are less likely to be invited back. So, it’s better to provide rich, relevant and entertaining content for the host’s audience. Rest everything will be done by the content itself.

Resisting post amendments:

The blog that you write reflects your image as well as the image of the blog where it’s being posted. So, it obviously needs to be free of any errors. That’s what the host blogger would do if he/she finds any mistakes in your blog post. In other words, it’s an inevitable part of guest blogging. So, instead of being resistant to those changes, go with the flow and leverage guest blogging to its fullest. However if your post needs major edits, you’ll surely be consulted. So, it’s not like you’ll look at the blog and be amazed as to who wrote it!

Avoid all these mistakes and all your guest blogging efforts will turn out to be fruitful!
