I have opened my blog for guest posting but it seems that people dont take interest in participating in guest posts on my blog. Would like to know how to increase guest authors and motivate them to post on my blog.
Gain fair amount of traffic first. Only after then you can invite others to write and post their articles in your blog.
You're essentially wanting people to post their material on your website when they could post that material on their own website. The only way you can make this work is to become a very popular site which people want to post at yours to heighten their exposure.
You can try http://myblogguest.com/forum/ this is a forum only for Guest blogging.Finding guest authors etc
Make it worth their while. If they can add a link to their site they will want to write. You don't have to do that forever, but it may get some good content going. Suggest they link to your site as well so it's worth it for you.
Hey, The first step is to improve your blog with good traffic and once you have good audience and visibility people will automatically approach for guest post, otherwise people are really thinking what will i get on guest posting on a blog. So blog traffic is the first step. cheers Josh
You need to have a successful blog at least ranking well in its niche that will attract many other bloggers for gaining links out of the successful blog. You can put 'write for us' option on your blog, convince others that your blog will get more exposure while posting articles on your blog.
