Attention: Join our guest blogging contest here.
Getting guest posts is great for adding some spice to your blog because a new blogger brings in a fresh perspective and a new style. With services like MyBlogGuest getting high-quality content is also so easy!
The downside, with the easiness of the process, blogs get too flooded with guest posts and ultimately lose personality. During the summer break when going outside seems much more pleasing than blogging, skipping another day and using a guest post instead is even more tempting.
That’s not what we encourage!
No matter how much we want you to use our users’ free unique guest articles, we still want you to keep the personality of your blog.
Don’t lose voice and identity! RT @myblogguest: blogs get too flooded with guest posts and ultimately lose personality #MyBlogGuest

Here are a few quick content ideas for the summer break (consider creating a weekly column for any, for example “Infographics Monday” or “Friday coffee links” to create a habit and encourage returning visitors.) READ MORE… »
Something to make your job easier and your website better:
Do you wish you could find quality articles for your website – but without having to weed through a sea of mediocre (or worse) submissions to find one strong enough to suit your standards?
At My Blog Guest, we not only feel your pain, but we’ve done something about it.
We (Ann Smarty and her staff) invite you to preview a system that will allow quality writers to shine. For publishers (Bloggers), that means no more having to sort through the thousands of articles in our database to find one just right for your website.
For high-quality Bloggers, we have high-quality writers
The new Elite Articles Gallery will showcase work ONLY by those authors who aspire to write top-shelf articles and have proven their ability to do so.
Be among the first publishers to visit the Elite Gallery and find out whether your next post is waiting for you to claim. Your participation and feedback will help us fine-tune our system to provide you with increasingly better articles and easier access to them. READ MORE… »
From Ann: This article is written by one of our great users and I love the advice here! This article is courtesy of MyBlogGuest Articles Gallery, the best source of free unique content for your blog – and that’s the great sample of what you can get using it!
Daley is a freelance writer and blogger who knows it can take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get into the rhythm of writing great material, and that’s before all the other stuff that can trip you up. You can find him at www.daleyjfrancis.com.
Whether you’re a small business, a lone freelancer or a large corporation, the importance of having a blog on your website is huge, and growing increasingly more relevant to business and marketing with every passing year. Gone are the days when a blog was just a way to stuff keywords into the website in order to try and get better search engine rankings, or to try and steer visitors of the site to the sale.
A blog is now a way to inform customers about who you are, what it is that you do and show just how much of an authority you are in your niche. It is the equivalent of wearing a badge that says “I know what I’m talking about”, and you’ll see more businesses with a quality blog than you will without, because businesses know this is a great way to communicate their message.
But just having a blog isn’t enough. You need to have a strategy of what you want to say and how you want to say it – by first person case studies, images and videos, helpful advice, podcasting, etc. – or it can quickly descend into an incoherent mess or become a chore. There is nothing worse than heading to a business’s website and finding out that their last blog entry was November 2011 and it reads like they couldn’t be bothered. It doesn’t give the best impression to the reader/customer. Here are a few things to consider when starting your blog: READ MORE… »

Also: Join us discussing the benefits of MyBlogGuest Articles Gallery for publishers in our Google Plus community.
We are doing a lot of spring cleaning these days: We’ve started with collecting feedback from our users and we are now trying to push lower quality sites from the platform while attract more active and community-driven sites. This is a long process but we are getting there.
Attracting higher quality blogs is not going to improve the database unless we have good quality to provide them with. Therefore there is Articles Gallery spring cleaning update coming!
Takeaways:
MyBlogGuest hung out on Friday, March 29th for our March hangout.
Our participants for this hangout included: Phil Turner, Michael Cohn, Shannon Hutcheson, Min Min, Patricia Weber, and Deborah Anderson.
We created a takeaways version of the hangout in this short video here:

1. The Most Protein-Maximizing Vegetables (via wodlounge.com): I got hungry while reading this article Though it’s title from the very start seemed a bit weird to me, I found this info more than helpful and not just for veggies. Thanks to Soleil Ho from knife-depot.com for great tips.

This week we are proud to welcome a featured guest of our chat – Don Sturgill, our chief Google+ community moderator.
It’s been over two months since we launched our G+ community. So, it’s time to think and talk over the ways to manage and develop it. Our mail goal is to make it useful! It’s one more FREE feature that we happily give away to our forum members and all those interested in guest blogging outside the forum.
Just to remind you a few free features for both blog owners and guest authors:
Now, let’s get to our topic and our guest! We asked Don about his experience with the forum, Google+ community, and guest blogging in general – and as expected got amazing answers!
Our featured guest @roadturn is now added to our mentors’ list of the official chat page: bit.ly/1519Z7V #myblogguest
