In case you missed it last week: my newest online course, Successful Guest Blogging, is open for registration until the end of this Friday (9th).
As we'll be covering in the first module (which comes out on Monday 12th), guest blogging can be a great way to:
- Get some writing experience that could form the basis of a freelancing portfolio.
- Build up a name for yourself in your particular area of interest.
- Reach new readers – and encourage them to come and read your blog.
- Strengthen your relationship with the host blogger by helping them out when they’re busy.
- Share your knowledge as widely as possible on a topic that you’re passionate about.
- Promote a product (like a book) or a service that you offer (like freelancing or consulting).
- Get a link to your website to help you rank more highly in Google and other search engines. (A valid reason, but see my note
below.)
- Strike up a relationship that could lead to paid work. This is exactly what I did with four different blogs back in 2008: I started out by writing guest posts for them, and later got hired as a paid writer.
If any (or even all!) of those sound like they'd help you meet your goals, why not come and check out the Successful
Guest Blogging course?
Keep reading for the quick version, or click this link to get all the details:
(Don't forget, registration closes in two days' time, at the end of Friday 9th.)
During the next six weeks, we'll be covering:
Module #1: Getting You and Your Blog Ready
Module #2: Finding Guest Posting Opportunities
Module #3: Coming Up with Ideas and Pitching Your Post
Module #4: Writing Your First Guest Post
Module #5: Crafting a Compelling Guest Post Bio
Module #6: Going Further After Your Post is Published
During the course, you receive one module each Monday – these are detailed .pdf documents with screenshots where appropriate (and occasional links
to videos) to take you step by step through everything you need to do to see your guest posts on large blogs.
We have a private Facebook group where you can meet other members, ask questions, and get all the support you need throughout the course. I'll be around in the group throughout the six weeks of the course, but also for a further four weeks afterwards as you take your
guest posting further: I won't be abandoning you!
Plus ... we have a "rewards card" scheme to help you stay motivated to take action each week. This has been really popular with members of my previous courses, and you can read all about how it works on the Successful Guest Blogging page: aliventures.com/courses/successful-guest-blogging.
Successful Guest Blogging costs just $60 for the whole course: the four bonus weeks of help and support are included in the price
too.
You get to keep all the course materials for ever: you can download them onto your computer (and/or tablet, phone, etc), print them out, whatever you want.
If you try Successful Guest Blogging and decide it isn't for you, just email me at any point during the course (even in Week 6!) and I'll
refund you in full.
Sounds like it might be just what you need? There's a full course schedule, and lots more details, here:
Happy writing (and blogging),
Ali
P.S. I'll be closing registration at the end of this Friday (9th). There are
free/discounted places available if you're under 18 or a student, and even if you're not, I can offer a payment plan if you want to pay the $60 fee in instalments. Please do get in touch if you'd like to take the course but can't easily afford it immediately; I'd be very glad to help.
