How to write a guest post for Copyblogger.com

If you’re an expert in copy writing, Internet marketing, info products or blogging, and you can write well, one of your goals for 2009 should be to submit a guest blog for Copyblogger, the wildly popular blog that teaches its massive following how to generate traffic, gain subscribers, attract links and sell something.

I’ve been wanting to submit a guest post for months, but never got around to it because I hadn’t figured out whom to contact. This week, Sonia Simone, an associate editor for Copyblogger, gave me the nudge I needed by writing What Makes a Great Copyblogger Guest Post?

Briefly, your information must be useful, relevant and well-written.

Publicity Hounds include writers and authors, advertising executives, publicists, bloggers, editors and proofreaders, Internet marketers, publishers, journalists and others who have expert advice that’s a perfect fit with Copyblogger’s audience.

Why write for Copyblogger? Because it has more than  40,000 subscribers and over 100,000 unique monthly site visitors, and you can get a backlink to your website or blog. Its “About Us” section says:

The Guardian named Copyblogger one of the world’s 50 most powerful blogs.

• Advertising Age ranks Copyblogger as a top 5 blog about marketing.
• Technorati says Copyblogger is one of the most popular blogs in the world, and a top 20 favorite among readers.
• The editors of Performancing honored Copyblogger founder and editor Brian Clark by naming him the most influential blogger of 2007, and he came in at number 30 among the 50 most influential bloggers compiled by top blogger Leo Babauta.

Visit the Copyblogger site, read the most popular posts in the right-hand column, and then figure out if you have a topic that’s a good fit. They welcome guest bloggers and would love to hear from you—me too, I hope.
