The Benefits of Guest Blogging: How to Write a Guest Post That Will Boost Your Business.
What is guest blogging?
As per the dictionary, guest blogging is an act of a blogger (who's often referred to as a blog owner) inviting another individual or a team (who might be non-trivial) to write a post for his/her blog on topics which he/she finds interesting or on the topic he/she wants to promote. The best thing about this technique is the fact that it creates a connection between the blogger and the guest blogger.
For example, here’s the guest blogger.
He or she has an audience in his/her blog and is often asked to guest post.
So, he/she agrees to guest post and gets to write a post.
He or she is expecting an impressive result and, obviously, requests the blog owner to accept his/her post.
On the other hand, here’s the blogging owner.
He or she is getting many guest posts for promotion.

Asking your readers to help out

It is free advertising.
They will also promote you on their site and potentially increase your traffic, which may help you earn new business.
Your readers may write on your blog to tell their friends and family about you and your post.
It also helps you get exposure through their audience.
Who can guest blog?
Only people you know and trust.
Your readers should also be able to identify with you and your blog.
A comment can also be replaced by a link back to your blog.
After the guest posts are up, let your subscribers or fans know about it.
Leave them a reply or share it on social media.
Then use the social media analytics to see how your post is doing.

How to write a successful post
Guest blogging is a great way to showcase your product or service as well as generate new leads. However, it's also an amazing way to increase your brand awareness. Here are three ways you can use guest posting to your advantage.
1. Motivate your readers to buy from you.
One of the best ways to increase conversions on your website is to provide more value to your readers. If you include a giveaway or other incentive to make it worth their while, you are much more likely to attract some quality content.
A topic chosen by the guest blogger
Always ensure that the guest blogger has identified a particular topic relevant to your audience.
Be careful with the choice of guest blogger. After all, if they can't be guaranteed a boost in traffic to their site, they're not worth your time.
