76 Comments / Blogging Tutorials, Guest Posts, Tech / Brett Lindenberg / 03/30/2013

Ever want to try improving the conversion rate of your blog, but didn’t have the money to hire a designer, the time to figure it all out, or technical prowess to pull it off?

There’s little doubt that opening a blog up to guest bloggers has the potential to create a win-win situation for both the author and the publisher. By offering guest post submissions, you do an excellent job of allowing other bloggers to voice their views while they help build a foundation of your own blog. However, when your blog grows in popularity, you start to receive tons of guest posts every week, consistently. It becomes awfully hard to deal with the flood of these submissions, most of which are poor in quality and irrelevant
