As a blogger you have decided to write your first guest post, “Wow” what a great idea, yes it is and I will agree with you that writing guest posts has its advantages and disadvantages. First thing is that you have to think about it and I surely hope you had? There is hundreds of reason why you should want to write guest post but it should all boil down to one simple reason and that is because you have something to offer so please stop think before you write don’t let yourself be embarrassed. Here are four valuable tips for writing Guest Posts. Read on.
(1) Choose the Right Blog
I bet you have never thought about this, it is important that you choose the right blog by doing so you are ensuring that your writing style fits in well with the blog that will host your Guest Post. When choosing a blog to submit your Guest Post you need to make sure that not just your writing style fits with the blog but also the audience of that blog. A word of caution remembers Quality not Quantity that matters this will make the difference between you post been accepted or rejected.
(2) Choose the Right Topic
This is another point to bear in mind, the topic you choose to write about must be one that you are comfortable with and knowledgeable about and most importantly one that fits within the Niche of that blog. If your topic is already been written about feel free to write on that topic as long as you can provide fresh ideas and information on that topic then that’s great or you need to pick a topic that has not yet been covered but fits well within the blogs’ niche never provide duplicated content.
(3) Choose the Right Niche
Just as how choosing the right topic is important so is choosing the right Niche, if your Niche is about Web design then stick to a blog that covers Website Design don’t go choosing a niche about Marketing when you have never written about it before. I am not trying to discourage you here feel free to write about it if you do you research and feel comfortable enough to do so.
(4) Choose Your Writing Style
This is a personal choice; your writing style comes from within you. The personal style you choose will make a big difference to the outcome of your article. Not because it is a Guest Post you are writing that doesn’t means your style of writing have to change no just remember you are born original so why change and become a copy.

Guest blogging is a great way to keep writing, and get to write for lots of different sites. I’m a big proponent of it and think it has some great benefits, least of all being that you get to share your thoughts and opinions with an audience of people.
While it can be good to write about things you’re not too familiar with, the best writing always comes when you write about what you love. The more passionate you are, the better the writing.

Hi Jen welcome to my blog accepting guest post can make a big difference to the traffic to your blog because the writer normally commands some following which will eventually flow over to your site it is like networking. Thanks for adding your voice to the debate.
Hi Gary
I must be the exception to the rule lol All my guest posts have been outside my niche and other invitations I have had are also not in my niche. Doesn’t seem to many in my niche who have active blogs. Mainly farms with small farmshops selling their products. Have noted a new blog that has gone up that I hope to interact with.
Cos the topics I chose relate to all bloggers, had an excellent response to my guest posts and brought lots of traffic to the blog owner’s sites. Because someone is a marketer, techie, or whatever they may still be interested in my take on a specific area of blogging I discuss in my GP. Just my 2 cents. And thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and join the conversation there. Much appreciated.

Writing outside of your Niche is okay as long as you are fmiliar with the topic you are writing about Not because you may not consider it as your Niche once you are comfortable with the subject it is alright to tackle the subject. Thanks for adding your voice to the debate.
Hi,

Thank you,
I am Following first 3 tips, But the 4th one is sometime very difficult and Ignored by me. I through your own Writing style sometime makes reader Fed up or Bored. That why i write posts in General Way.
Hi, Gary.
I recently just started guest blogging and I admit, I didn’t exactly look into whether the blog I guest posted in was in line with my niche or not. This didn’t matter much to me because I talked to the blog owners about what the articles they’d prefer to receive before I sent in my guest post. I believe that even if a blog is not within your niche, you can still have something worthwhile to share to their audience. I do go for blogs that offer great influence to the blogging community and are receptive to the needs of fellow bloggers as well as their target audience.
Finding the right blog, writing with your own personal style and knowing the right topic to talk or write about are great tips for guest blogging though. So, thanks for this post, Gary. I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate this as I did.

I know something but I see content update review for you. Thank
Choosing exact and right niches + good content makes you an excellent blogger! Am i making sense? Most blogger wants income from their sites, I’m referring to Adsense, in this case content really matters!
These are good rules to go bye. I hope everyone that does guest blogging reads this. I spend a couple hours a day reading my favorite blogs. It’s always frustrating reading from someone that is writing there only for the link back opportunities.
Definately great tips. For those looking to reduce some time in finding the right blog, MyBlogGuest.com forum is full of bloggers that are looking to host your Guest Posts. Check it out when you get a chance!
