Guest Blogging??

Jeff Greene   Online Marketing Specialist/Consultant
If the person that's going to write for you can truly add pizzazz to your blogs... I would agree, but I tend to think of my blog as my own territory....

Why not start an I-CHANNEL for your guests to write in? People who subscribe to one from anywhere on the Internet, might be Interested... Apsense folks can subscribe to them, too.

This might protect your blog, while helping you maintain your own writing VOICE, which we've all come to know and Love! :)

Hi Wendy,
My site at MoneyBlogManager is set up just for that. It has an admin area that you can set to require additions to the site be reveiwed prior to going live to help keep the junk and garbage out of it too!

True I do like my Blog although it needs some work.

Never heard of I-Channel and not sure the unpaid version of Wordpress would allow it.

Course I said that and then realized I haven't a clue what the hell I am talking about LOL

Good thing you can't hear my voice LOL sound like a guy I do Especially on a CB

IChannel is the feature here at Apsense that will allow you to include RSS feeds from your blogs as part of the channel. A great tool once folks see the power of it!

So long as you can control the content and the admin of the blog , it seems to be an interesting idea. MKW has suggested how you do it - and why not? variety is the spice of life!

Well Wendy, I'm using the same basic idea with my newsletter. I have guest authors all the time. They get the benefit of getting their content in front of new people and I get the occasional subscriber that has wandered on as a result of following someone else.

I have full control over what makes it into the newsletter.

Hi Wendy,

It works you do have to keep an eye on what is being written and be on top of it ....yes it is a little extra work but in the end you may get the results your looking for........

The other option is to articles from a place like ezine articles.com. There are tons of articles there. I have used them on several occasions. But I agree that it is nicer to have fresher content.

Hi Wendy,

I read this earlier and topped it and had also read thru all the comments and didn't really know what to add..

I like the idea... if you know someone that will also post your stuff on their blog... you could do an exchange... it would be like a link exchange in a way....

if they just sent you an email with the article already formatted all you'd have to do is copy and paste it.... so as long as they were doing the same for you it would be well worth it.... and if you happen to be friends with someone who has a high ranking on those search engines... that would be cool!

you already have where you list your Apsense friends and their links... that's real similar to doing the posting of a blog article from someone else on your blog....

i think it's a great idea...
