Comments on: Guest Posting: Stacking the Odds for a Yes http://menwithpens.ca/guest-posting-stacking-the-odds/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:02:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: patrick http://menwithpens.ca/guest-posting-stacking-the-odds/#comment-47807 patrick Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:03:58 +0000 http://menwithpens.ca/?p=1185#comment-47807 Those are some great tips. One of the mistakes I made when I first started was after I emailed a blog that said they accepted guest posting I didn't follow up as quickly as I should have and it caused some of them to forget my previous email, which can make you seem like your just throwing guest posts at them without introducing yourself and building some sort of relationship. As harmless as it may seem it can be viewed as being a little rude and impersonal. Accepting that not all of your guest posts will be accepted is just a part of blogging and as you said, “don’t take it personal”. A thank you for the opportunity and friendly response will get you a lot further than a rude one or no response at all. Those are some great tips.
