This week I wrote 2 guest posts, and it was really fun! I used to be one of those that thought “why would I give my content to someone else?”

There are many reasons to guest post, but I think to most important one is to work together with bloggers in your niche. Instead of always thinking of them as competition, we need to think of each other as colleagues.

Guest posting helps you in promoting your “brand” because their may be readers on that site that don’t know about you, even if you comment frequently on that site.

It also helps the site owner where you guest post because you will most likely promote your post as well and your readers may like that site as well.

When I wrote my Goals for 2010, I included writing guest posts because after 2 yrs of blogging, I had never done it. I had been interviewed and had articles written about me a few times, but I had never written for someone else unless I was hired to do so.

I found this week I actually enjoyed it though, so if you comment here regularly or if I read your blog, I may just shoot you an article in the future.

Are you Guest Posting?

If not you should be! If you would like to submit an article to me just fill out the contact form with your contact information (email) and topic and summary of your article (along with your web address so I can make sure your site is not a “bad neighborhood”).
