Guest posts should generate you a ton of extra traffic.
If not, you're doing something wrong.
When I publish a guest post here on Basic Blog Tips, or on Huffington Post, or Pro Blogger, I see a jump in my email opt-ins.
Sometimes the spike is stunning, as I receive 5 times the opt-ins I would see on a normal day. This is how it should be, too. I mean, of course I am here to add massive value, and draw readers to this blog, but I would also like to draw readers to my blog so that I can build my list.
Guest Posts Mastery
If you want to GET leads you must GIVE your best effort. No way around this one, no matter how you cut it. It is always a sowing and reaping thing. You generate serious list numbers if you give away serious value through your guest posts. This takes great care, and paying great attention to detail, at least if you want to grow your list and make money online via guest posting.
Take Your Time as Patience Is Prospering
A funny thing happens as I slow down when writing guest posts, or any posts for that matter: I target my post with keywords, I write better copy, I craft more compelling titles.
It is simple, and quite easy, when you carefully take your time to churn out meaningful, targeted and helpful blog posts. Be patient and persistent, and you will have no problems generating leads with your guest posts.
Guest Posts Insight
Patience is a most prospering state of mind. When you slow down and calm down all the prospering, lead generating ideas flow to you. You grow your list with ease through your guest posts, because you are coming from a calm, confident place, and building a guest post masterpiece is the natural results. Be patient, be persistent, and you will create a work of art.
Never Save Your Best Go All Out
Recommended ESP: Ms. Ileane uses AWeber
One mistake that poverty conscious bloggers make? Holding back, saving their best posts for their own blog. What makes more sense: writing your best post for your 100 readers or writing your best post for 15,000 readers of the blog you are guest posting on?
Trick question, as the answer is BOTH!
Always do your best and never make the foolish mistake of holding back and putting out substandard work when you submit a guest post. You have one chance to make a firm impression on the minds of the blog's readers. Do not squander this chance, always do your best each time you sit down to write a post, guest or not.
It is a strange tendency indeed to hold back any time you write a post. This mindset is indicative of someone who is accustomed to failure, and of course, until you change this mindset you will have a tough time generating lead driving guest posts, because when you hold back, success will be held back from you.
Do Not Forget to Hyper Target
Another key point: target each one of your guest posts with SEO. Of course, you must tailor the guest blog post to the blog you are posting on but work in your keywords too, as long as the blog vibes with these keywords. Of course, if you did your homework beforehand you would be well aware if your keyword usage would vibe with the theme of the blog.
Do your research and pepper your keywords in appropriate places throughout the blog post. Be disciplined in taking this approach and you can more easily generate leads and make money online with your guest posts.
Target every single piece of content you ever create if you truly want to rake it in online. Your guest posts need to fall within your targeting strategy. Yes, you want to drive readers to the blog but you also want to grow your blog audience too. Target, target and target some more, and remember to aggressively promote the guest posts, just as you would promote one of your own blog posts.
