Guest blogging is one of the more interesting methods of promotion for a lot of reasons, and it really is just the beginning of business growth and expansion. Talk about changing your game, you can do this with guest posting, and you can also become trusted in your niche which is a huge accomplishment.
While there are millions of blogs, you want to restrict this method to your particular niche market. All you need to do is a Google blog search for your niche keywords to locate good candidates. Using guest blogging as a promotion tool isn't what you should be limited to, because essentially you're also building a targeted brand and following with your guest posts. That is exactly why you cannot just start choosing a bunch of blogs in markets that are unrelated to yours. You always want to write for your audience, or niche market, so that you reap the best benefits from this method. You will be able to find plenty of sources where you can publish or syndicate your content, and that is the whole point.
Do not annoy the person you want something from by sending a ton of emails and talking about personal things, etc. Most of the guest bloggers make the mistake of sending their first email asking if they can write for the blog, the second email discussing the topic they want to cover, the third email with the actual article attached and finally the fourth email editing the article's format. It is fine if you are new to this, but it really is not rocket science, and just read and follow what ever it is they want you to do. Many times you will have to send them the post you want them to publish, and they will check out everything and let you know. If the article is good enough, chances are that you'll cut the chase and get it published even faster.
When you submit your blog post, choose a great image that can go along with it because they can really help the post get read. Images just help your content to get read, and they cause people to linger longer at your content, as well. Make sure you're using original pictures/images with your article; don't use stock photos, and free images that you've got no copyright on. Try to make your guest post as strong as you possibly can, and all those things will add-up. As you become more seasoned as a guest blogger, you'll develop additional tactics of your own that will enable you to profit from this highly effective strategy.
