Guest Posting:
I love guest posts. I invite and encourage bloggers to inquire about a guest post spot on Super Daddy, especially if you have something interesting to say.
With this I do have a couple prerequisites for guest posts.
- You should have read some of my blog to get a feel for what I like and post about. If you ask me to publish your post on tractor pulls, then no, you are asking the wrong blogger. I blog about parenting along with the occasional post about living green, the food industry, some politics (in favor of left leaning politics) and maybe, sometimes I will write a piece about religion (not a religious person myself so don’t send me something about how great God is).
- You must have an active Twitter account with at least 100 followers. By “active” I mean that you use your Twitter account weekly. If I look at your timeline I want to see that you engage with your followers. I don’t want to see that your timeline is full of tweets linking to your posts or retweets of other tweets linking to your posts. Engage with your followers. I want to know that if you guest post for me that you will promote that post on Twitter, and actually have people that will care you are guest posting.
- Having a Facebook fan page and/or Google Plus page would be nice and helpful in promoting your guest posts, but I will let it slide if you do not have a Facebook or Google Plus Page as long as you have a, relatively, strong Twitter account.
You do not need to be a blogger to guest post for me. I am more than willing to help freelance writers get a few things out on the web. (Please note I am not going to pay you for a blog post. I can come up with my own stuff for free.) If you are a freelance writer and do not have your own blog it is extremely important to have a strong Twitter account. If you do not have a Twitter account as described above in number 2, then do not email me. I will not publish your post.
When you email me your request to guest post on Super Daddy this is what you should include in the email.
- Your full name, blog name, Twitter handle
- Link to Twitter account
- Link to Facebook fan page (if you have one)
- Links to your published posts for other bloggers, e-zines, magazines, newspaper articles and your very own blog.
- Use my name
- Show a little knowledge about my blog
Now of course, if I know you from on Twitter, feel free to email me or DM me on Twitter.
And yes, I would love to do a guest post on your blog. Just ask and we’ll work something out.
Thanks for your interest in guest posting or having me guest post.
