POWER OF GUEST POSTING

 

inc Forbes entrepreneur huffing ton post

guest posting do you think it's really
worth it you know what if you do just
leave a comment with yes if you don't
leave a comment with no hey everyone i'm
neil patel and today i'm going to share
with you what i've learned from over a

thousand guest votes

that's right i've written over a
thousand guest posts yes it hasn't
happened over the last years many many
years of building it up but i written
literally over a thousand blog posts
just in english if you combine
portuguese and spanish and other
languages in german i've probably
written over 2 000 guest posts that's a
ton of content is it really worth
it i don't do it anymore so you're
probably like no but you know what i'll
actually tell you the answer and it's a
bit more complicated than just a yes or
no answer now first off if you're in the
b2c niche if you're out there selling
dog shoes i don't know what you would be
selling but let's say b to c niche dog
shoes or dog leashes or pick anything
out there chances are guest posting is
not worth it because the amount of
traffic that you can get from these
sites and the amount of business it
generates for the consumer niche is so
small you will not generate enough
revenue but on the flip side for b2b
it is worth it in which you can make a
ton of money i'm talking about
millions of dollars and i can even give
you example of how i've done well
through guest posting but it's not what
you think in which you can't just
release a guest post or two guest posts
and do well see when i started guest

posting i would write one or two
articles a week and i'd be like oh okay
i'm gonna write on entrepreneur forbes
inc and you know what i'm gonna get a
shitload of business and people hitting
me up for marketing advice and
consulting and guess how much business i
drummed up from it little to none
but
after doing it for a year or two what
happened to all my articles on
entrepreneur and inc and forbes about
social media marketing and seo and link
building and digital marketing they
started to rank on google these articles
started getting a ton of traction and i
wasn't doing anything just over time
they naturally rank businesses would be
like oh i read this article by neil
let's hit him up let's see what he does
and i'll get business contracts from it
i wasn't getting contracts that were
like hey i'll pay you a thousand bucks
sure those leads would come in but i was
getting some six figure contracts and it
was amazing all because of all my guest
posts out there but when people talk
about guest posting they're like yeah
you guess plus you're gonna get business
no they're full of i've done more
than most people i had a team who helped
me manage my whole guest posting
scheduling i had editors who helped me
out right just because i'm writing the
articles doesn't mean i could edit them
fast enough add images i was going at
one point where i was doing one guest
post per day seven days a week and there
were short articles i streamlined it
down to like 700 word articles or a
thousand words and i would just crank
them out left and right and some of the
topics were regurgitated in which i
would publish similar articles on
entrepreneur as they did on forbes i
didn't care it wasn't duplicate content
i would rewrite it make it unique enough
but i was doing it so i can do quantity
what ended up happening is after a year
or two it drummed up business but in the
short run it was a big time sink and a
money loss and here's the thing with
guest posting when i got started in it
the times were amazing and everyone's
like oh i'm going to guest post on
entrepreneur inc so i can build liNkSand get higher rankings on google do you
think this 700 billion company doesn't
know what you're doing do you think
they're that dumb where they can't stop
at it those links don't really help you
that much instead and even these blogs
and these publishers they're no
following these days but instead you
should be doing it to build authority a
name for yourself and drum up business
if you don't do it in the long run
you're not gonna do well and THat's why
i'm telling you if you're gonna guest
post you gotta do it for at least two
years after the first year start seeing
some results after two years you'll
dominate and you'll start getting
business and you can actually generate a
seven figure business from it my buddy
jason from audiencebloom he guest posts
everywhere it's a seven-figure business
not just in what you can potentially
sell the business for but i'm talking
about revenue how does he get all his
business guest posting and all he did
was write articles about marketing it's
worked for me it's worked for him and
it's worked for tons of other people my
buddy nada from inbound junction he's
built up a seven figure business as well
from guest posting it's not about
selling links or anything like that you
build a business by becoming authority
in your space heck i get speaking
engagements because people like i read
your article on content marketing
institute can you come to our company
here in dubai and speak we'll give you
20 grand for the hour all because of
guest posting it's priceless if you want
to do it do it but do it for two
straight years you want to give up after
that that's okay there's already you
know five six hundred articles out there
on the web and you have to do at least
five articles a week doing a few herald there doesn't do it's hit or
miss some articles do well some don't so
follow those strategies and you'll
create a shitload of income from guest
posting assuming you're in b2b if you're
in b2c don't waste your time if you're
not sure what kind of articles to write
