How to find guest Blogging opportunities

The word 'Blog'.

There are plenty of good reasons to write guest Blogs and encourage other Bloggers to write guest posts on your behalf. However, finding the opportunity to guest Blog as part of your technical PR campaign isn’t as easy as you might think.

As someone commissioning guest Blogs you are probably looking for interesting content and a source of posts for high days and holidays. You might think that it’s easy enough to convince your colleagues and associates to produce these, but speaking from experience, it isn’t!

If you are looking to write guest posts for publication on other people’s Blogs, then you’re objective is probably to generate links to your own site, to generate editorial coverage or to build a relationship with the Blogger him or herself. Again, given that for many Blogging is a hobby or a tertiary part of their job, this is also not as easy as it sounds.

One way of finding a good source of guest posts and a good source of potential blogs to write for, is BloggerLinkUp. You can request and offer guest posts, request sources for interviews and offer products for review.

So, if you want to spread the word or identify some good sources of content, get linked up.
