Have you ever had a friend lent money? If so, this was someone you thought you could trust? If you answered in the affirmative, as they say in the social network, then you will want to keep reading.
The idea may already have crossed your mind, "How does lend money to a friend to blogging?" Well, I'm glad you asked because when it comes to guest blogging, the blog owner is lending you money you loaned to their blog just like when your friend.
Let's start with a story and we will bring this all together later on.
Let's dive right in this personal story of me and I'll show you to take the best practices when using my experience in your ventures blogging guest reviews.
A friend of mine, who I once considered "my best friend" had been in several financial jam when it came to pay rent, bills, or (let blunt!) anything with an expiration date.
So, if a friend, I decided to give him the money to help pay his half of the rent and lend any other accounts.
Little did I know that this pattern of a path of destruction would continue. What started as a "brother" turned into me help me to support him.
There are two things to point out: I must not have been so forgetful that he was taking advantage of me, and I'm not the only culprit on his list of lenders.
My friend me ripped off from about $ 1,000. It was so bad that it was started to affect my financial situation and the best thing that happened to me was to find a way out of this terrible situation by returning home.
When a friend makes use of several people who lend their resources, they are obviously not a friend, but someone who gets by through manipulation. The bottom line, as the saying goes, "If you want to lose a friend, lend them money." It's safe to say that I don't talk to this person more.
I mentioned in my above story I borrowed money. Well, when it comes to guest blogging, you should be aware that the blog owner loans to their blog is their resources, be whether you. their audience, their range in the blogosphere, or even their own reputation, made available to you when you share your voice on their property.
The means that the blog owner gives to you are as a personal loan. You must pay back the blog owner for giving you the opportunity to share your insight with his or her audience. Of course you're not back to pay a monetary value, but you must still looking to give back in some way.
I know that most people will feel that you "" repay the owner of the blog by writing an article of high quality for their audience. That is not enough. It is a general way to give back. A great article writing should be seen as a basic part of the Exchange, not an added bonus.
The last thing you want to do is disappoint the owner of a blog after they decide to publish your article on their site. This can ruin the relationship and ruin your personal reputation, like my friend by taking advantage of many of his so-called friends. Also, if you do not return the favor of the person who lends their your news blog, which can be spread like a wild fire among the popular bloggers — especially if you have an article published on the site of an A-List.
First of all, I always blog owner email directly after seeing my guest post go live and thank them for the occasion. I know that it sounds like a no-brainer, but you would be surprised by the strength of the emotional connection with the owner of the blog will hit in doing this.
They expect you the guest post as a marketing strategy used to the traffic back to your blog. To understand that because that's what everyone is doing when it comes to guest blogging. However, you can it a step further than the publicity you are given, and working on the continuation of the relationship with that owner of the blog.
A personal email would be if the old-school version of mailing a letter. People love the written word, not a "thank you for the opportunity" message on Twitter. That does not appear the effort, nor are you "pay" the owner back.
The personal e-mail means more. Just think how you feel when someone emails you and thank you for commenting on their blog. It sends a powerful message.
You can also ask the blog owner in the email if there is anything you can do for them! Maybe they come a new product or post and they help promote the need. They even have a service that they want you to be able to test out. Anything of this nature you are trying to make an effort shows "pay your lender" is great, but in a way that real — not just because you feel you have to.
There are not enough people who give back, in my opinion. My friend never gave back the money he owed me, nor has he has nothing to show that our friendship meant something really ever do. The blog owner is looking for this same feeling of your friend.
Everyone always wants to more friends, and to develop new relationships. When you give to them after they return to borrow their resources, you can then enhance the friendship or business relationship.
You almost a 100% guarantee of ruining the relationship if you screw over the blogger by failing to respond to comments left on your guest post or not to continue to keep in touch with the owner of the blog. By doing so, they will know "you" them for a one-off thing ... self promotion.
My friend used me and I was gullible enough to myself to be exploited. Hopefully these insights together with the integration of my personal story paints a clear picture of how to give back to those who help you.
