Guest Post Invitation
March 23, 2011 
18 Comments
Chances are you are already one of the just under 1000 readers that read this blog everyday. I hope that you’re having a great time on the blog and find the posts interesting, useful and valuable. I always try to be current on all events and news but most of all, my personal passion is for my readers to publish their work. That is if that’s what they are wanting to do, of course.
It’s time for this blog to move to the next level. I am trying to make this blog as interactive, valuable to participate in via comments and other avenues as possible. I have already installed a forum where readers for this blog can interact and help each other in their writing and publishing careers. Besides that there is a brand new toolbar installed that promotes social media interaction and much, much more.
A lot of that happened just this week! Now, the next level I’m talking about is inviting guests to add their voices, opinions and expertise to this blog. I have always been a team player and think working together is very important for success. So without further adieu, let me make a formal invitation.
Will you write for Authopublisher.com?
Authopublisher has decent traffic.
What are the reasons why you should write for this blog? Well, there are certain incentives. Let’s look at traffic. Here is a screen shot of April’s traffic via Hostgator:
Authopublisher Visitor Count
Social Media exposure/domination.
Then, there’s social Media. Here is the badge that will give you the live Twitter follower count of Authopublisher.

Those are targeted followers. They fall in one of the following niches: writers, publishers, bloggers. We try and keep it in there. Sure there’s some fluff here and there, but doesn’t every Twitterer? Anyway, every time a post goes out, it get’s promoted every hour within UTC (Central America Time).
I also get plugged in LinkedIn as well, so your posts will get exposure there too.
Other social media evenues you get exposure on through dedicated and strategic plugins.
- StumbleUpon
- Delicious
- Reddit &
- Digg
Youtube.
Our Youtube channel is growing slowly. So, no great things happening there, but we are embarking on a great mission to promote the channel. There’s a widget in the sidebar, there is an awesome toolbar at the bottom of the blog to give an overview of the channel’s videos without leaving the blog. We will also embark in the next month on a intense youtube promotion. If you post video on the blog, it must be uploaded to our channel.

Keywords.
I currently only chase two keywords for this blog, here they are:
Self Publishing Blog – I’m currently on page 2 for this term among around 3,400,000 results. I will be on page one by July.
Self Publishing Expert – I have three posts on page one on Google for this term. Two are guest posts and one is my ‘About’ page. So if someone wants expert advice on Self Publishing, they’re going to look for it here. The other two posts also send traffic directly to here.

My aim to guest post on this blog is based on helping readers of this great blog to learn one or two things from my ideas while I too would also be able to learn from theirs too. I can write as much as you want. Nice idea

As long as I have breath Tony, I will keep on producing. Thanks for your contribution.
Nice idea… It can increase your reader as long as you just have patience, cause I know guest posting to many blogs are a bit tiring… but it depends upon the content of the blog..
If its nice to read then its worth having comments and guest post..
If there are any updates or any great ideas just update me..
thanks…

I try concentrating guest posting on blogs I know deliver targeted traffic and I’ve built relationships with. You’re welcome to gte involved Ken. Just place a comment if you’d like to write.
Also check out the blog setup in the sidebar for a more interactive blog setup. It will encourage people more.
I would like to write a guest post on making your blog work harder. There is so much to do when writing that worker smarter is the only way to do it.
Stephanie Suesan Smith recently posted..How to Make Your Blog Work Harder
Congratulations, Ivin. Almost 1000 visitors a day already? Not bad. It will be much more soon because you are wisely doing guest posts on other blogs like the Must-Have Plugins post you did on GrowMap. That way their readers become your readers.
I am glad you are following best practices and writing guest posts and encouraging other bloggers to do the same. Regularly contributing to high quality related blogs is how Kristi over at Kikolani.com became so well known.
If I can find the time I’ll write a guest post for you, but I owe DragonBlogger and some other blogs posts first. I am so far behind!
