Headline: Why most freelance bloggers will never make more than $100 a year (and how to separate yourself from that crowd) I feel this blog post will make an excellent addition to the BAFB archives because 1) it’s going to be fun for the audience to relate guest blogging to dating and 2) I don’t see any posts in the archives that really digs into the importance of a blogger-guest blogger relationship, which is crucial to landing paid gigs.

My name is Alicia Rades, and I’m a freelance writer and blogger with a passion for giving writing tips. *I’d like to share my own experiences, quotes from other bloggers, and other useful information about why this is important with an emphasis on how this is beneficial to you and how these practices can save you a headache and time. *I would then like to look at HOW you can build these relationships before sending in your pitch. You don’t create engagement through conversation. I will first look at several mistakes you’re making including:Ģ. *In this article, I will explore how you need to build a relationship with bloggers before you send in your pitch. Although the stranger seems nice, you’d probably eye him suspiciously, say no, and run away, right? Never mind the fact that you’re actually a ma’am. Imagine a stranger approaches you with a smile, extends their hand, and says, “Hi, Sir! Want to date?”

OK, here’s how this all works and what we’re going to do: The Rules Read on for the rules, the $100 guest post payment, and the all-important comments section! So we’re doing it all over again this month, and we’ll keep doing it every two months for the foreseeable future.īeing writers, we couldn’t resist giving this $100 guest blog pitching contest a special name. I think we should talk about that in more detail and with as many specific, personalised examples and tips as possible. The level of learning and discussion going on in the comments made me feel we’d really touched a point that people want to talk about: what makes the difference between a “works for us” pitch and a “not for us” pitch? That one contest brought us Alicia Rades’ $100-worthy guest post, cunningly titled 5 Ways to Rock Your Guest Post After They Accept Your Pitch, as well as excellent guest posts from runners-up who might never have pitched if there were no prizes up for grabs. Last month’s pitching contest was fantastic, with pitching tips and personalised feedback from Be a Freelance Blogger’s guest post editor Lauren Tharp. Instead of talking about it in the BAFB forums or inside email conversations like we usually do, we had the whole conversation there in the public comments of that blog post and everybody could check out the winning pitches. If you read my emails you’ll have seen the advance notice I sent out about this a few days ago.
