The Nigeria blogosphere is increasing rapidly with lot of content but less traffic and it can be easily argued that content is key,of what relevant is a content without the right traffic hitting on the post Writing a guest post is one of the best ways to bring in lots of traffic to your site.

Guest posting is also a great way to get a high-quality backlink which will help in your SEO efforts,which means link building which is a WIN WIN Situation

How To Select The Right Blog For Guest Posting?
Now you have decided you want to guest blog picking any blog in the blogosphere is consider a NO situation
The first criteria you should look for is the blog’s quality. Is it high ranking? Does it have high-quality content?

Can you offer the blog’s audience something of value.You dont expect to blog with ogbongeblog and post entertainment gossip

Here are three things to look for:
Similar niche
Good traffic
High page rank
Step 1. Identified The Blog You Want To Write For

You need to write the post and understand the content you are writing on with relevant research, before you do this i will advise you to have a look at the topics that have already been covered, and make sure you aren’t writing about something that has been written about before. Make your content new and unique,most bloggers dont like to make their content unique which is not really cool and try to flow with the pattern the way the blog owner writes {using the blog owner style}

Tips for writing a great post:

Write about what you know
uniqueness
link building {Provide high-quality outbound links}
Provide the most value you can.
Make sure the post is in correspondence to the blog’s audience.
Step 2. Contact the blog owner.

If you know the blog owner they will be happy to let u guest blog provided you are not spamming the blog with bad links …….if not check the contact link of the blog or facebook link

Put the following in your signature:

Your name
Email address
Blog address
Twitter ID
Facebook ID
The owner will want to see that your blog and your brand can offer something of value to the readers of their blog.

Step 3. Promote Your Articles On Social Media Sites Like Twitter And Facebook.

Don’t wait for the blog owner to update youon this; just do it yourself as soon as the post is published.

Also, something you might want to do is place an outbound link to another blog in your guest post. You can then tell that blog owner that you linked to their work, and they will consider promoting your guest post to their readers. This is really a good strategy to build authority and get others to like you.

But don’t include links just for the sake of building backlinks. A blog owner might reject your post if you’re just trying to build backlinks.

Step 4. Reply to comments.

Reply to comment from your readers and try as possible to reply in a polite manner ,help them with things you can do better……

when you already have your 100 post you can link back to this post and i will be happy if you can guest post using one of my available blog or a nairalander blog because i notice we don't like guest posting in Nigeria reason we still struggle to update our own blog,and for newbie consistency is the key i can guest blog on your blog if you update it regularly

check my signature. I will guest post soon but not now. I don't accept guest post either now. This is because my style of writing is different from others. My visitors may be taken off balance with such acts. However, if i see one guest post that suit my style, i will welcome it

Hmmmmmmmmm

sweetie what do you have to say...

great point! Like you said, Nigerians don't like d idea so its almost pointless throwing ur blog open to Nigerians to guestpost!
Plus its difficult to get a Nigerian who will submit unique posts!

It would be great if we can embrace d idea though.

Just this week alone I have guestpost on two health and fitness blog... But they are yet to be published. I also noticed that some blog owners charge money before they publish your post on their blog which is not so good. This fee is a big turn off for people who have intentions of guest posting.
