The Super Successful Blueprint that is Used in a Top Guest Posting

Guest posting is one of the most effective ways to get inbound leads for your business. Also, it is one of the most popular link-building strategies for online businesses. It has been proven tons of times that when it comes to inbound lead generation and backlinking, there is literally no competition to guest posting. 

But this all goes around businesses and companies, right? No, I have brought something unique for you. In this article, I will guide you on how you can be a successful guest poster and potentially find your first direct, high-paying client. 

I haven’t done any black magic to create this article. All that you will read is completely based on data, research, and studies that keep going on in this world. I will provide you with a simple yet unique guest posting blueprint that will help you be more effective and explore the market in a much better way. 

Why Guest Posting?

Before I dive deeper into analyzing the blueprint to become a worthy guest poster, many of you might be new to this thing. And you might also be confused if guest posting is worth it. 

For you, I have a few reasons that will help you be clear that if you did it in the right way, guest posting can;

• Attract a much bigger audience to your website as compared to any other strategy
• Earn you a positive reputation on search engines by backlinking 
• Allow you to convey your messages and thoughts to a larger audience (if your guest post is on a popular site)
• Help you get many inbound leads and potentially your first paying client (the count never stops)
• Help you be more concise and ultimately, a better writer. 

I believe these reasons will be enough to convince a smart audience that guest posting can be really effective if done in the right way. 

Now, it’s time to move on to our main part, which is the ultimate blueprint to guest posting that will help you be an expert. 

The Ultimate Blueprint to Guest Posting

Follow this ultimate blueprint to guest posting to get yourself in a position where you won’t have to worry about getting new clients if you kept working hard. 

1. Start by approaching smaller sites 

Everything starts small! When you are guest posting, the same applies here. If you are new in the market, you might not be able to approach directly to a much bigger site. But you can approach smaller sites that don’t have much popularity. They will be eager to get you on board with the belief that you would help them rank higher and get more traffic. 

But what’s in it for you? Will it give you your first client?

It might not get you your first paying client, but it will surely reflect a huge social proof that you can create high-quality content that will be good enough to be published on someone else’s domain. 

This will help you create your portfolio, build your reputation in your niche, and ultimately prove that you are a legit writer. 

If you are starting off with your guest posting, starting it by approaching smaller blogs can be a gem idea. Get a couple of content pieces published on several blogs to move on to the next step. 

2. Move to bigger domains 

Once you have enough blog posts published as guest authors on smaller sites with less traffic and shares, you can target bigger and more traffic domains. 

I am not targeting directly the biggest sites in the market, because it will be much more difficult to do so. What I am talking about is sites with good traffic yet easy to be approached. 

To find those sites, you can take a look at other popular freelance writers and which sites they approached in their initial stages. Always keep in mind that if they can do it, you can do it as well!

3. Contribute consistently 

When you are done with the above two steps properly, you will be having enough pieces of good content. And it will be enough for reaching out to popular websites. In other words, you are going one more step closer to your dream. 

But how do you keep the effect of your guest posts alive in the long run? The simplest answer to this question is consistency. Time plays an evil role when it comes to guest posting. Once your guest post is published, it becomes old in a much shorter period. 

One great way to counter it back is by contributing consistently to your audience. This will not only help you be connected to your audience but also help you get more creative ideas. Because you will be thinking about these things all day long!

What If You Can’t Land Your First Guest Posting?

The aforementioned blueprint is only effective if you are able to land your first guest post. But things don’t go so easy. For tons of unexpected reasons, you might not be able to land a guest posting. So, what now?

Well, all you need to do is try. Keep trying to land your first guest post until you get one. Here are a few tips that will help you do it. 

1. Read the blog you want to post on 

This is one of the simplest and the most effective ways to land your first guest post. Reading the blog posts of the site you want to guest post on will help you in a number of ways. Here are a few;

• It will help you understand what kind of content goes good on the site
• You can understand what length of content pieces are good to be published 
• What is the perspective of the blog and how is it helping its readers?

Knowing these things will help you contribute in a much better way. 

2. Follow the guidelines of the Guest Posting blog

Every blog has some guidelines that you must follow to get approved for guest posting your content on the blog. If you are just pitching to the site without having proper awareness of its guidelines, you might go the wrong way. 

Being aware of the site’s guidelines will help you be clear in your pitch and in conveying your message to the site owner. It makes your pitch personalized, and it works!
