Guest-blogging for traffic and links
Want more traffic to your website or blog? Make guest-blogging part of your arsenal.
Here’s everything you need to know about guest-blogging, but weren’t sure what to ask: Guest Blogging: The Ultimate Guide.
Great article. The nub however, is that guesting on others’ blogs gets you links:
“Links – Links control the web. If you want rankings on Google, you need links. If you want authority in your niche, you need links. If you want traffic from other blogs, you need links. Guest blogging is a fairly easy way to get custom anchor-text, high quality one way backlinks to your website. There are few other techniques so effective.”
Just make a list of blogs you’d like to guest on, and get in touch with the owners. Most bloggers LOVE to have enthusiastic guests — and they’re harder to find than you might imagine.
Don’t go in cold
If you want to guest blog on a high-ranking blog, don’t go in cold.
Make thoughtful, interesting comments first. Once you become a commenter, the blog’s owner becomes aware of you, and will be much more receptive to an approach from you.

Writing Jobs Anyone Can Do: Write Articles
There’s never been a better time to be a writer. Your potential income is unlimited. This is simply because as the recession bites, businesses are forced to make alterations to the way they market their products.
I’m amazed at the number of small businesses which are moving the bulk of their operations online, as well as by the number of small businesses which are starting up with the sole aim of selling products online — even a year ago this would’ve been looked on as a risky strategy.
With businesses placing such a high emphasis on selling online, it gives great opportunities for writers. You’re in high demand. Even beginning writers can get writing jobs writing articles.
Can YOU write Web articles?
If you have any writing skills at all, you can write articles. Web articles are very different from articles written for print publications, and they’re much easier to write.
If you read Web articles, you’ll discover that they have certain attributes. They’re easy to read, they’re relatively short when compared to print articles, and they contain links.
So if you’re in the same position as a lot of people, and need to earn extra money, consider writing web articles.

Make extra money from writing: write articles
If you’re looking for a part time job, consider using your writing skills and writing Web articles. You can make more than you would doing other part time work, and you can work from home.
When you write online, you don’t need to be a literary genius, because people are not reading online, they’re skimming for information. This means that writing speed and efficiency are more important than talent.
In next week’s Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, I discuss making money writing articles.
Here’s an excerpt:
It’s very easy to make money online with articles; the more you write, the more income you make. However, it’s essential that you PLAN and take a long term view because you need to get known as a competent, reliable article writer first.

Make Money Writing: How to Double Your Income This Year
Your writing business can be more profitable that you imagine. Want to double your income from your writing this year? It’s more than possible for you, if you set that as your goal. In fact, just by setting the goal, you’ve gone a long way toward achieving it.
Here’s what you need: the desire to achieve your goal, backed up determination, then you need a daily FOCUS on that goal. If you have these three attributes, not only will you double your income, but you’ll be amazed at how quickly it happens.
There’s no limit to your income from your writing on the Web. Some bloggers are making $30,000 a month from their businesses — if it’s possible for them, it’s possible for you, too.
Dissolve Your Disabling Beliefs by Writing Them Down
To clear the way for your accomplishment, take a few minutes to dissolve any disabling beliefs which may be standing in your way. The challenge with deep-rooted beliefs is that they become unconscious. They affect our behavior because we don’t know we hold them.
Open a new computer file, or get a notepad and pen. Set a timer (a kitchen timer will do) for five minutes. Complete this sentence: “I can’t double my writing income this year because____________”
Write, without pausing or thinking, until you hear the timer.
Excellent. Now you’ve made your disabling beliefs conscious. You know what they are, and because they’re conscious, you can refute them, so that they can no longer affect your behavior. Rip up the paper, or delete the computer file.
Think About Your Goal Morning and Evening
Did you set any New Year’s resolutions this year? If you did nothing other than set a resolution, it faded from your mind by the end of January. Here’s how to prevent that happening with your new goal.
Every morning, before you get out of bed, think about what doubling your income would do for you and the people you love. Do the same thing before you fall asleep each night.
Just think about having achieved your goal in a relaxed manner. This builds your desire. The more you day dream about your achievement, the more you’ll build you determination, and that determination will develop into a complete focus on your goal.
You’ll have a new outlook on life, and because you’re thinking and behaving appropriately, you’ll have the outcome you want.
You can make money writing, and can achieve any income goal you care to set. Discover how to make money writing with Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) — you get all the tools you need for an outstanding writing career.
Make Money Writing: Write for Fun, and for Profit Without Burnout
Are you heading for writing burnout? When you make money writing, there’s a big danger that your creative well will run dry, resulting in writer’s block. Let’s look at how you can develop your creativity so you never run out of things to write about, develop high productivity, and increase your income.
“Have fun” seems simplistic. After all, you have clients who depend on you, and projects you must complete — you have a mortgage to pay. What’s fun got to do with it?
Fun has a great deal to do with it. Think about a time when you were intensely creative. For most of us, that time of high creativity ended when we were around eight years old. Would you like that childlike glee with your writing back again? Little kids are never blocked and rarely stressed. They love to play, and that’s the secret.
Here are three tips which will help you to look on your for-pay writing as fun.
1. Write for Yourself First, then for Others
In 30 years of writing, I’ve learned that my inner kid can turn off my creativity like a tap when it gets bored. The kid doesn’t care about deadlines and money, the kid just wants to have fun.
Think about when you first started writing: try to recapture that excitement. Feel it. Now complete this sentence (write it down): “To really have FUN with my writing, I’d like to write__________ and ____________ and ___________”. Keep writing. You may be surprised at what you’d love to write, just for fun.
Your “fun” writing primes the pump for all your other writing. It’s your warm glow within. When that warm glow dies, all your writing dies. So keep that warm glow alive.
2. Develop a No-Stress Writing Schedule: Get Help when You Need It
Your primary goal as a writer who’s writing for profit should be to keep your writing schedule as stress-free as possible. If there things you could pay others to do, pay them.
For example, a virtual assistant could help you with your email, and the many other housekeeping chores of your writing business. She or he could also do basic research for you, freeing up time for you to write. If you hate marketing, you can also out-source some of those tasks.
If you’re just starting out as a “for pay” writer, you may only be making $60 an hour. However, you can get a virtual assistant for $30 an hour. If you take the plunge and delegate stress-inducing tasks, you’ll be amazed at how much more you get done… and that your income goes up.
3. Shush! Stay Silent on Gestating Projects
Have many projects have you talked away? Think about it.
Gestating projects, those projects which are so new they’re just a glimmer in your eye, are delicate. You can ruin them completely if you talk about them with anyone, even your nearest and dearest. Keep all projects strictly under wraps until you’ve completed at least a first draft, or if it’s a Web site, until you have the site online.
I hope these three tips help you. They come from experience. To build your career and making money writing, remember to have fun: it’s vital. Here’s how to become prolific and write more.
Write more – become a pro writer
Yes, you can write more and become an expert writer - even if you’re a world-class procrastinator.
Did you know that when you write more, your writing improves? Many of my writing students experience this. They find that when they write more, writing is easier for them – they’re not dominated by their inner editor.
My new writing class, “Write More And Make More Money From Your Writing: Develop A Fast, Fun Productive Writing Process” is based on lessons I developed for my private coaching students to help them to write more, improve their writing, and make more money writing.
If you’re struggling with your writing, the class will help. The techniques you’ll learn in class with help you write fiction, nonfiction, and copy for business.
Discover how you can write more, improve your writing, and sell more of your writing to higher-paying markets.
Here’s the secret to great creativity and eliminating writer’s block for good: have fun with your writing.
