Tips And Instructions For Guest Blog Post Submission Guest Blog Post Submission Template Instructions & Tips The enclosed letter template makes it easy for you to create a cover email when you submit a guest post for consideration. Here are some basic instructions and tips to make the most of your guest blogging experience. Important! Before submitting a post to any blog, always look for their submission guidelines and follow those fully and completely. In some cases, they will have a submission form or a certain format they want you to follow. In that case, don’t use the template and use their guidelines instead. Instructions: 1. The template includes red brackets with tips inside for enclosing your information. Remove the brackets and insert your appropriate information. 2. Paste the letter into an email and attach your blog post to the email. We recommend attaching the post in .doc and .txt format. This is because .doc format as it is easier to read when opened; however, .txt format provides a cleaner copy and you can add HTML formatting for easy posting. While it is not always advisable to send an unsolicited attachment via email, pasting the post into the email can cause odd formatting and may make it difficult for the recipient to copy-and-paste your post into their blog. Tips: 1. Keep your cover email short and to the point, but do ensure it conveys the following: a. Why you’ve decided to contact them – i.e. what you like about their blog b. Brief information about you and your credentials c. Why this post is relevant to the specific target audience Click Here To Get Free Instant Access For 4 Traffic Generation Videos
d. The post is original and is exclusively theirs to use If it sounds complicated, don’t worry. The template will take you through all of this. 2. Have the post ready when you make contact with the blog. If they have a ready-made post, targeted to the blog’s audience, they can immediately see the quality of your writing and all they have to do is copy-and-paste your post if they like it. If you simply send a proposal, you will need more back-and-forth communication and the blog owner may get busy with other things. Having the post ready makes it as simple as possible for you and your target blog.
