Publish Guest Posts from the Articles Gallery and Win $1000

by Ann Smarty

guest blogging contest2012 is the special year because that’s when we are starting our official guest blogging contest!

That’s the easiest contest you’ve ever seen: you get great content, extra traffic and engagement to your blog and free money!

No strings attached: you don’t need to do anything special to participate: no extra links or responsibilities.

All you need to do is to use the Articles Gallery to offer your blog for relevant articles, then (once your offer is approved) publish your guest post on your blog and share the link here.

(Here’s a quick video intro into how the gallery works)

>>> Grand Prize: $1000 to the winner. We’ll also have a few other prizes for most active participants which will come as sweet surprises :)

>>> All the articles should be from the Articles Gallery: please share the username of the author each time you link to the guest post (you can find all guest posts which were approved for your blogs here).

>>> The contest will end on February, 20 – the earlier you nominate your post, the better!

>>> The guest post must be published between January,1 and Feb,15 to qualify!

>>> You can nominate as many guest posts as you want (provided they qualify to enter)! read more…

Pre-Holiday Guest Blogging Round-up!

by Ann Smarty

Happy Holidays! This is our third Christmas (and only the second year) together, so we are still so young and pretty much excited.

These have been awesome two years of entrepreneurship, trial-and-error and hard work. It’s been a huge experience for all of us as well.

We are thankful to our users because our guest blogging community would have never happened without you. Thanks and have a great time over the upcoming Holidays! Meet you next year! read more…

Writing for Free: Is It Worth Your Time?

by Guest Author

There was once a time when getting your writing published was a difficult affair. While you could always hand it out on the streets, to actually be published in a real book, magazine, or newspaper required a submission process, approval, editing, and eventual publication.

In the 21st century, anyone can publish anything relatively easily. Self-publishing, especially online, is quite popular. Millions of people publish their writing on blogs, social networking sites, and other websites, and a good number of them never receive a penny for their work. read more…

Detailed Video Review of MyBlogGuest

by Ann Smarty

It will never stop amazing me: our members are just awesome! They are doing a much better job than anyone from our team promoting our guest blogging platform!

We have already listed a lot of great independent MyBlogGuest reviews (as well as user testimonials) and more are coming weekly and even daily!

Here’s an awesome, very thorough piece on how to maximize guest blogging results with our community and another great one on how to distribute your articles to high-quality websites with MyBlogGuest (the author is also kindly sharing the statistics and personal results!).

I am even more amazed by the great video reviews coming from our members! We have never expected our users to be so kind and we highly appreciate it! I have shared one very professionally done video review of MyBlogGuest previously.

***This week another one has arrived through my Google Alerts: Get Free Content From Other Bloggers For Your WordPress Website – a very detailed, very personal video which is sure to help our newest members to get the whole idea of what they are joining! Thanks a lot, Mitz! And thanks for bringing your awesome website, WordPress Website Builder, to our blogging family!***

Enjoy!

November Guest Blogging Roundup + Meet MyBlogGuest.ru!

by Sana Knightly

This month we invented two more categories into the Articles Gallery.

But the most important thing we can be proud of is that we officially announced the launch of our Russian version of MyBlogGuest – MyBlogGuest.ru

Our team feels really excited about it. Of course there is a lot of work to do as the project is new, and it requires much attention from our side – like a little baby.

But I hope that very soon there will be a Russian variant of a monthly guest posts roundup as well. For now another English one (sorry for being late bit – the reason is mentioned above). read more…

by Ann Smarty
