You know what I mean.
I'm talking about writing guest posts on other peoples' blogs.
You can even swap places with them and blog on one anothers' blogs. There is something that would be a surprise to many of the blog's regular readers. They would show up at Blog A and find Blogger B posted a column. Clicking over to Blog B, they find a post by Blogger A.
You have to admit, there is some humour value in the idea.
But seriously folks.
You can gain some tremendous exposure for your blog, and for your own writing and blogging style by guest blogging.
The special guest star posts are certain to bring some new readers to your blog. Your own regulars will often follow you over the hosting blog, and provide that blogger with some new readers as well. Many visitors will read a few other posts while browsing, and perhaps like what the see on a different blog.
Both the host blogger and the guest blogger will gain a few extra readers for their efforts. Many of those newcomers will remain as regular viewers.
I have had the privilege of guest blogging on Jeremy Wright's superlative Ensight blog.
Whether Jeremy gained much by it, I can't say for certain. I did pick up a number of Jeremy's large readership group for Blog Business World, however.
If you are considering the concept of guest blogging, contact your closest blogging friends first.
They are, without a doubt, the most likely bloggers to accept your posting.
You might also consider filling in for a vacationing blogger, as a special guest star.
Perhaps, if a blogger is ill, some guest posts might be in order.
There is certainly no limit, on the number of creative ways, that various bloggers can find to guest blog for one another.
Think of guesting or hosting today.
