Turning Traditional Guest Posting On Its Head (To Make It Easier And More Effective!)

By |November 26th, 2013|

We’ve recently launched our new Guest Post Plugin for WordPress blogs, attracting dozens of downloads within just hours of publication.

While you can find a full description along with installation instructions and other info on the plugin’s page within WordPress’s plugin directory, this post provides more of a visual tutorial on how to start taking advantage of it.

Firstly, a quick summary of what it does …

Normally with Guest Posting, you’ve got to find suitable blogs in your niche who might like to publish content from you, try to build positive relationships with those bloggers, and try to persuade the odd one or two to publish a post from you.

It works … but it can mean a big investment of time and effort in finding those opportunities.

Our Guest Post Plugin turns that on its head … instead of you seeking out those opportunities, they come to you. A blogger can arrive at your website, like what they read, and then see a link at the end of the post inviting them to request a free, 100% unique, professionally-written version of your blog post (created by our writers) that they can then publish on their own blog.

The blogger would publish the new post as a Guest Post on their own blog, and, as per usual Guest Posting practice, link back to your own site.

It’s virtually zero work for you (you just need to approve requests), and a very straightforward, streamlined process for them too in getting quality, unique content for their blog that they can use for free.

Click here for more information on exactly how it works (there’s no point repeating it all here) … now on with this tutorial …

How To Increase Traffic To Your Blog Using Your RSS Feed: Part Two

By |November 19th, 2013|

In last week’s post, the first part of a tutorial on increasing traffic to your blog using your RSS feed, I showed you how to submit your RSS feed to RSS/blog directories, along with what I consider to be the top 15 RSS directories.

In this post, I show you a second and powerful way to put your RSS feed to work promoting and building visibility for your site. Again, it’s very easy to set up, only takes a few minutes, and once done works for you on auto-pilot on an ongoing basis … a.k.a. worth doing!

Presuming you’re on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, this involves adding your blog’s RSS feed to your vWriter.com account and then driving traffic to your blog via your social media account(s) automatically. Every time your blog is updated with a new post, your Twitter, Facebook and/or LinkedIn feed will be be auto-updated too.

How To Increase Traffic To Your Blog Using Your RSS Feed

By |November 12th, 2013|

Did you know there’s a really simple way to start growing traffic to your blog (or other sites) right now that’s free, and that most people are currently under-utilizing, if using at all?

A RSS (“Really Simple Syndication“) feed is a common form of XML that allows your content to be distributed far and wide, and attracts links and traffic back to your site.

You can also pick up subscribers who subscribe to your feed through RSS reader software, and are then immediately notified as soon as you publish new content. (The link to our own RSS feed is in the footer of the page.)

As with any other aspect of content marketing, to get the real benefit of RSS, you firstly need to ensure your content has the right level of quality in order to attract attention in the first place and provide real interest and value to your readers.
