Guest Blogging [Info-Graphics Too]

If you’re not new to link building you’ve already heard about link building, I know.

But this is one of the effective method that works well and will work.

Doing guest post on authority blogs is not an easy task in order to get approved you need to write content that will stand out from crowd, that mostly gets hell lots of shares otherwise you won’t get approved.

If you’re good at writing contents then you’ll easily get approved.

Steps To Do Guest Post:

1. Find blogs that accepts guest posts (Must be 20+ Domain authority).
2. Do remember that your guest blog must be related to your niche.
3. Start writing content that will stand out from crowd.
4. Once you wrote, do submit (the blog which you’ve chose to do guest post on).
5. If you get approved, you’re good at writing and you can try more blogs too.
6. If not, don’t worry, go and submit to another blog and you’ll get approved for sure.
7. Try, try and try you’ll get approved for sure.

Trick To Get Approved Easily:

If you’re not approved by your content then you simply do one thing, hire an awesome content writer.

Do tell him/her to write something different and top-notch content for you.

Pay him/her what they want but tell them to write quality article.

From this trick, you’ll surely going to approve even at high authority blogs.

Things To Keep In Mind:

• Write atleast 2000+ words guest post in order to get approved.
• Try to write catchy headlines for your guest post.
• Write post that is free of grammatical mistakes.
• Hire writer if you can’t fulfill this job (as I’ve already mentioned above).

Roundup Posts

Have you seen?

Nowadays, many blogs are doing roundup posts.

They most likely write titles like

• Experts Reveled…..
• Expert Advice on……
• 20 Experts Said…….
• and so on.

Well, if you didn’t then I’m here.

First let me explain that what roundup actually means.

Roundup posts is something like doing guest posts on other blogs but not like that one guest posts.

Many bloggers in industry doing roundup posts to get more attractiveness for their blog posts.

They’ll ask questions and you’ll have to answer that question.

You’ll get featured on their blogs along with your blog URL.

Why they’re doing this?

Let’s take an example, If I’ve wrote a post on Link Building and on some other blog there is a post that is full of expert advice and they shared their views on Link Building, which one get more potential?

Obviously, the expert one.

Quite simple, by doing roundups they get more potential and you get a backlink.

But your blog need to be good and you need to knowledgeable  in order to participate in a roundup otherwise your views/opinions will not get approved.

How To Find Roundup Posts?

There are many effective ways to find roundup posts, some of them (that worked for me) I’m sharing below:

Finding roundup posts through Twitter:

• Go to twitter.
• You’ll see a search bar at the right side.
• Now search for the following term below (Choose any of these).

Note: I have written my niche which is “blogging” replace “blogging with your own niche.

• “roundup” “blogging”
• “post of the week” “blogging”
• “article of the week” “blogging”
• “recommended blogs” “blogging”
• “recommended blog posts” “blogging”

Got me? nah?

What these searches will do?

They will bring all the tweets that were posted by those twitter user who is either looking to link to someone, or already have linked.

You can follow them, be their true follower.

And when the time comes, try to convince them, and say if they can link to you.

This is a bit complex, but it works quite well.

Finding roundup posts through Facebook:

If you’re on Facebook you must be having some blogger friends.

As roundups are now trend, they must give roundup post invitation on their profile whenever they held a roundup post on their blogs.

Don’t have friends? Don’t worry!

There is a group on Facebook where people share their roundup post questions and they get answered by many members on group, you can make use of it.

Join that, and you’ll get hell lots of roundup posts, more roundup posts means more backlinks! 🙂

This is the way where you can get traffic along with a powerful backlink.

I use two to three forums to answer people questions.

Like, Quora, Stackoverflow etc.

Because I need to be active and natural.
