Kimota - Ready to Blog Anywhere, Anywhen

Yup, you too can now enjoy the wonders of having Kimota appear on your blog.

I've been thinking about doing some guest posts for a while now, but it took the wonderful Kimberley Bock (Spostareduro) inviting me to guest post on her blog 'Learning SEO Basics' that actually spurred me into action. This weekend I'll be crafting a post I hope will be worthy of her readers, especially as Kim has built a reliable and popular blog over time.

Guest posting is a fantastic way of creating strong relationships between blogs and also building traffic. By guest posting, you are reaching someone else's audience who, if your content is good enough, may just decide to check you out further. Of course, to the blog owner, guest posts help to get new content up - you can never have too many posts, after all.

So why stop at one guest post?

There are plenty of wonderful bloggers who read these pages. Therefore, if any of you would like to include a guest post from me, simply drop me a line, or complete the form below, and I may just take you up on the offer.

All I ask is that each post obviously includes the bio I can provide and links to the sites I write for. That way, guest posting can provide links and traffic to the sites I am tasked with while providing your readers with further relevant reading.

Some of you may already be thinking about asking me for possible guest posting gigs here on CopyWrite. I do want to include guest posts in future, but it will be by invitation only, in the same way as some of you may invite me to participate on yours. I much prefer being asked instead of sending out unsolicited posts or pestering busy webmasters and am taking this policy both ways. That prevents any awkwardness in saying no to anyone and maintains a consistent style and standard on the blog - exactly as it should be.

I love the blogging community and it is fantastic for everyone when blogs work together to build a vibrant space for online discussion, ideas and creativity. Guest posting on blogs is a great way for all of us to add to this, so I recommend any blogger gives it a shot if they can.

And that's all there is to it.

This is a very interesting post. I agree that having a guest poster is an exciting and rewarding way to network and increase the exposure of both parties.

I conducted my first interview with a fellow poet a few days ago which was terrific for both of us.

By the way, you're my first 'drop' on Entrecard which I joined today. If you are by any chance a poet in your spare time, then drop by and I'll be happy to interview you if you have some work online somewhere.

Nice to meet you.

Well, yes, you are on to something. Just from browsing the blogworld how-tos on gaining traffic, guest posting is a great way to expose yourself (tho not in that kind of way,) to another blog's readers and expose your readers to other blog.

It's a win-win and gains each valuable, free exposure.
