I mentioned about how we can build our mailing list by submitting articles to web 2.0 sites like Hubpages and Squidoo in my previous post. Let us discuss another strategy that we can take to grow the size of our mailing list before moving on to another topic.
Have you ever thought the possibility of growing your mailing list by becoming a guest blogger? There are several factors that you need to consider to make sure that you will get the maximum exposure:
* You can call me prejudice but I wouldn’t consider becoming a guest blogger on blogs that are hosted on free platforms such as blogspot.com and wordpress.com. It’s because these blog owners are giving me the impression that they can’t afford to pay their webhosting. So, do you think they make money online. Doubtful.
*Do your own due dilligence. I will be more than happy to guest blog for blogs with great and original contents.
* How’s the Alexa , Technorati ranking and Google PR value? This is quite important, especially if you don’t have too much time to write guest blogpost for too many blogs.
* See if there are already a lot of comments in older post. Spam comments doesn’t count. This is important because you wouldn’t want to be the only person to comment and read the blog post later on. The more genuine comments means more people are reading the blog and they could be the very person that will joining your mailing list.
So, you asked, how to look for great blogs that are accepting guest blogpost?
Very easy. I would suggest you to do a search on blogSearch from Google by keying in the your target keywords and +guest blog. Not too difficult, right?
