On a side note, guest posters *do* get paid, though not in financial compensation. Marketing potential, exposure to new clients or readers, an implied recommendation simply because they’ve been accepted by the blog in question, and the chance to show off their stuff.

@ Lexi – Good question, that one. Here’s what I say to people who offer guest posts to us:

“Are you comfortable with me making some changes to the content – some editing for flow and a little bit of polish?”

If they say no, then they’ve just slapped themselves with the “arTEESTe” label and are probably too picky to be part of our blog. Everyone’s work can use a fresh pair of eyes and sometimes, the edits I make open up their perspective to tricks they never thought they could use.

And if I get guest posts that require more than just a quick edit and a polish, they don’t make it to our blog.

Hope that helps!

What are your thoughts about asking guest bloggers to make changes to their posts? I’m an editor by trade, so I naturally see ways people can improve their writing. I don’t want to offend people, but I want to maintain certain standards.

On the one hand, writers may be grateful for the opportunity to strengthen a piece; on the flip side, they may feel insulted. After all, they’re not getting paid.

Your thoughts?
