Successful blogs require regularly updated content, which can make them difficult to maintain. The search engines adore blogs that are constantly being updated with fresh, relevant content. Every time you add new content onto your blog, your chances of getting a better search engine ranking will improve. Most bloggers will write their own content, but some are happy to pay for a freelance writer to do it for them. But another viable option is to consider guest blogging. This is a good idea for having a constant stream of new content on your blog.

Make Contact Easy For Them - It's good to have a dedicated page for guest bloggers but no matter what, it needs to be easy to contact you. Don't hide your contact page deep within your site or forget to put one up altogether. Lots of good blogs out there don't have a way to easily contact the blogger. This is like closing the door for potential guest bloggers that may want to get in touch with you. For the best results you need to have a "Contact Us" page as well as putting some contact details in your sidebar.

Ask Guest Posters to Post Again: If a former guest poster has done a good job for writing for you, why not ask those guest posters to help you out again? Creating and maintaining a relationship with your guest bloggers is really important because they are the key to helping you generate more quality content on a regular basis. So make a list of each of the people who has contributed a guest post to you blog so that you can contact them again later when you are in need. Obviously not every person will want to write for you again but it is just good sense to have a pool of willing and quality guest posters to contact who already know that you're good. Besides that, most of these guest bloggers won't have any problems with your guidelines, so you save time.

Showcase Previous Guest Bloggers: If you've had guest bloggers contribute to your blog already, show off a list of their names and blogs or sites to others interested in guest blogging for you. This can be a great way to entice other guest bloggers into wanting to join those ranks and they'll know what kind of style you prefer. This also helps to increase the confidence and trust levels in bloggers who might have been reticent to blog for you.
