Promoting Your Triond Articles Through Guest Posts on Blogs
Contributing a guest post to a blog and linking back to your Triond articles is a good way to gain exposure for your writing.
If you’ve gained experience and insights about any topic, have you considered how you can incorporate that knowledge into a blog post to attract readers to your Triond articles?

What Do Blogs Need?
Blogs need fresh content. Writing guest posts on blogs is one way of filling that need. If you are willing to craft short blog posts you can offer to write these, with links to your Triond articles/credentials.
If you’ve been commenting at certain blogs, why not contact the blogger, mentioning that you are a frequent visitor and would like to contribute a post? Or, you could mention that you write articles that contain similar information.
- Do you write health articles? What about offering to write a guest post on a health blog?
- Are you into gadgetry? Why not offer your insights to fellow “gadgeteers.”?
- Do you have experience raising chickens?
- Do you know how to make homemade soap?

Now, you may be thinking, why would anyone want to accept a blog post that could potentially draw away readers?
Blog authors know the value of content and links when it comes to search engines pointing in their blog’s direction. They also know the importance of offering something that readers want. Increasingly, blogs have to stand out from the crowd. Bloggers allowing guest posts on blogs are on the fast track to readership and increased popularity.
What Do Blog Readers Want?
Blog readers are usually looking to be entertained or they want information. Readers may desire to network with fellow hobbyists or want tap into insights from others who share their interests. A blog that offers handy resources is a blog that target’s reader needs.
Now, I have a number of blogs and I know that offering well-written guest posts to my readers helps to keep things interesting. My readers will most likely return because they know that my blog is a source of ideas and inspiration from a number of voices.
Why Should You Write Quest Posts?
Writing blog guest posts on blogs can help to increase your readership and your online presence. This is a neat way to drive traffic to your Triond articles. In some cases, those who’ve written guest posts have even received job offers!
When you think about it, why do site owners and advertisers pay bloggers to write reviews of their products and include links back to their sites? Because they know this is one of the most effective ways of getting traffic. You can use this same method, writing posts with links embedded, to capitalize on present online trends.
- In line with this, this month I’m putting out a call for posts about freelance writing. I will accept guest posts on my writing blog, Write and Earn a Living and will allow for links back to the the author’s Triond articles/profile. If anyone has writing insights they would like to share, please contact me via Triond.

Hi Everyone,
Hmmm . .. don’t know why the feed links aren’t working. I’d checked them and all was set to go.
Let me know if you’d like to do a short guest post on my writing blog.

Good idea. It’s not just about writing but also working on getting traffic.

Hi Everyone,
Blogs can receive an incredible number of visitors, depending on how popular they are, so it just makes good sense to place links on high-traffic sites.
Even better, if you know the blogger, you could offer to do a pillar post, one with multiple links to a number of sites, including of course, links to your Triond articles.
If the blogger is planning to submit the post to a blog carnival, your links go out to even more readers.
If you have a blog, give serious consideration to crafting a pillar post, then submitting it to a related blog carnival. Then sit back and watch the traffic come in.
