As the title implicates, I am looking into guest-blogging. The only 'thing' is that I don't have a very well-ranked blog... I am just an artist, freelance writer and social networking junkie. I have written tons of blog posts for people/businesses, so I am familiar with blog-formats. I am just wondering if people would still be interested in a guest-blogger who really isn't well-known? Could I guest-blog with intentions of promoting my written-work & products, rather than just a direct link to a blog?
I believe that people will be interested if you show your previous postings or at least post few samples. Only then, you will know if anyone will 'hire' you.
i am always interested in guest-posters and have allowed several unknowns to write posts for me. I always allow a self promoting "about me" with a link(s) to the author's site/blog, but i would only allow promotion of products indirectly and only IF they were related to my blog content.. PM me what you can write about if you are interested in writing something for me (that goes for everyone BTW)
Thanks guys -- appreciate your insight! I do have samples, so I guess I could make a quick 'portfolio' based-site from which people could easily see my work. @tearbite: Great to hear! That is essentially what I am looking for. I think people automatically assume you must be famous blogger/writer or have a high PR blog in order to be a guest-blogger. While it's definitely beneficial to be... I think it's great to see people like yourself are open to the 'unknowns' -- after all, it's free (hopefully high-quality) content, right?
I am also open to a guest blogger write a post on my blog. You don't have to be a known blogger / have a high pr blog. Content is what matters to me. Please check http://delhicaravan.com/delhiguide/
Of course you can guest-blog with intentions of promoting an ebook and not a blog. I've done that several times before! The only thing I look for in return is that your ebook is related to my content. I have a website about YouTube. If you have an ebook, or a blog about YouTube - I'd be more than happy to let you guest-blog. If you have an ebook about kamasutra-positions... then I think I'd have to say no.
Hey Local, I might like to work something with you. I'm just in the middle of a 10 site build and can use some good stuff. I am an amateur writer and would like to do one for you in return also. Maybe we can help each other. http://www.badcreditmonitor.com#blog http://www.BCM-eBook.com coming soon mauiwebdevelopment.com (another blog here) I also need an ebook writer for a pretty extensive book im putting together. might be a good job if I can afford you.

My blog is about technology, computers, internet, games. Anything related to that. If you write good content you may guest post on my blog. Let me know. Just Google Techno-flux.co.cc
