I’m done begging for guest posts!
The trick, it seems, is not to ask your readers for guest posts, but to go where article writers hang out and are prepared to send you great quality content as part of their business model.
It may sound hard to believe, but it seems you have to be a mega-blog to solicit and actually receive a good amount of writers to provide you with original or high quality content. People like me, in the middle, really don’t get many solicited or unsolicited guest posts as many would assume.
So, still needing content, I started looking at Matt Callen’s solution. Now, I didn’t look at it when he sent me the first email about it. I thought it was yet another network full of content I couldn’t really use or that would not meet my standards for this blog. A network that might be good for auto-bloggers, but not real blogs like mine with a rep to protect.
So it wasn’t until today that I took a look. I’m sorry for doubting you Matt!
There are so many protections built into this free content service that you simply cannot go wrong by trying it out to get more great content for your blog on the topics you choose. There is an option to auto post content that matches your criteria. Um – make sure you turn that option off!
You need to review each and every recommended article yourself! (That is, if you have a blog where the quality standards are hyper important.)
I’ve already gotten a new article to post today that is well done, something I’d write if I had the time, and it even had a YouTube video in it!
The best part is that Matt needs his big network to get even bigger.
It already boasts over 10,000 sites, which rocks. But he rightfully wants as many sites participating in receiving content as possible.
Writing content for the network is going to get people a lot of links and traffic.
That’s the paid part. But think about it this way: since blogs like mine are in the network, it finally pays to change your article marketing efforts over to Matt’s network. You’re going to get picked up by some serious blogs with lots of traffic and juice!
If you just want more content, like me, simply sign up for free and add your blog or any site that can accept content through an API, and you’ll be able to receive targeted, relevant content on virtually any topic you choose from a pool of thousands of writers.
Again, I can’t stress this enough, I would never recommend a content network without all the quality controls Callen has built into his. I can’t take junk, re-hashed content on this blog. Those kind of networks have never been of interest or use to me. But now I have a source of guest content that I can trust and moderate and am anxious to see how much help I can now get with FTR and providing great content to my readers.
