I would have to say that if your content is of a high quality a blog may still offer to publish it even if you dont win the contest. However if your guest content is so good and they still wan’t to publish it maybe you should consider posting it on your own site.

Sure, running a competition or contest may well bring in new leads or content, but if it’s sales you want, are the guests really qualified quality or are they just in it for the prizes.

Melvin, I had got many emails from people wanting to participate, but they didn’t follow up. Maybe because they were lazy or they had some prior engagements

I totally agree with the 4 points you have mentioned above, especially the fourth point. I have learnt a lot while joining the a guest post contest. Even i might not the winner, i still win a lot. Win a lot of knowledge and friends.

It really isn’t about user participation with reading rather than the unique content that adds to the value of your blog with guest posts. That is of course if everyone stays ethical and doesn’t republish guest articles elsewhere.

Its true Murray and it goes with all contests as a whole. I mean, they’d go in to your site and say ‘hey thats a brilliant contest, and im in” but after commenting they would never really get back and join the contest.

As Chow said, most people are scared of joining contests. but it doesnt end there, the problem is laziness as well.

The funny thing about guest posting contests is that there are a lot of hype around them yet very few people take action.

If a lesser known blog is running a great contest, people may not be so quick to jump on board because they don’t see it as great as the bigger contests.

However, this just means less competition for you.

Remember, you’ll always lose a contest if you never participate. What’s the worst that will happen, your guest post gets published? haha

Either way, everyone wins all around – just so happens if you do it better than others, you can win.

Hello,

I agree. Guest posting is highly recommended. It gives you massive exposure and you can gain now followers for your blog very easily.

Even if you don’t have a blog, and have a website, guest posting can bring a lot of good traffic to your website.
