Using Guest Blogging to Get Your Blog More Exposure Posted: 09 Dec 2008 02:00 AM CST No matter how talented of a blogger you are, getting a blog started can be a very difficult thing to do. This is primarily because there is still the problem with trying to get people to discover your blog. Some people turn to social networking websites to try to drive that traffic (such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, etc.). Unfortunately the flaw with that method is that the traffic received from these sources typically isn’t targeted to your niche and turn into loyal readers. So, how you get good traffic to your website? One of our authors, Jean-Baptiste Jung, recently shared how he got over 1,000 subscribers in under 2 months when he recently launched WP Recipes. In his post, Jean explains that the secret is guest blogging:
Because Jean’s new website covered WordPress, he submitted guest posts on a WordPress-related website to show off his talents. After building a solid reputation with our readership, he then went to a blog with a much larger readership, Smashing Magazine:
As of today, roughly two months after his blog launched, it looks like he already has over 1250 subscribers using this method! I do think it is important to note, however, that a big reason for Jean’s success is that his content is really good. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, guest blogging is a great way to find potential subscribers. From there, it is up to the author to actually keep the subscribers by providing quality content. Related posts: |
