An Intro to Visitor Posting
Intro
We are talking about made placements. The publishers have to authorize this content. Do we want to release?
We're talking about real sites with real audiences. We're talking about flexible format. Again, really much we want to stress the publishers that we're talking about here get their income from sales.
We're not talking about any circumstance where you have to pay cash in order to get in front of someone's audience. I want to point out we're not necessarily talking about op-ed scenarios here.
Now you're going to be able to reveal your proficiency, but you're going to be 2nd fiddle. You've got to put the publisher themselves and their interest in sales. That's the publisher benefit that you're going to be stressing when you approach this group.
Why guest posts?
.
Now, why guest posts? Well, guys, there's a massive quantity of exposure and reach here. Look at the pyramid. Now, this is agent of many markets usually, where we have actually got 95% of the publishers are releasing to get sales, 4% that are objective based and are supported by taxes, tuition, donations, subscriptions, and so on
. Then we've got the 1% ad supported. There are a lot of publishers out there attempting to sell in your vertical, in your customers' verticals, in your target vertical if you're internal, and there's a great deal of disaggregated reach there. There's a lot newsletters out there, a great deal of social media followings out there, folks, that you could be working to get in front of.
You have a lot more subject and context control when you're releasing on these types of sites, when you're looking for publishing on these websites. Once again, if you're taking a look at the tax, tuition, donation, and subscription supported swath here, the 4%, you can in some cases have topics where you can talk about sales or discuss a sales page.
However more frequently you've got to truly focus on the publisher's objective, why are they publishing. They're on a mission, and so they're supported by something besides sales. Then last but not least, obviously, if we're speaking about digital PR or any kind of mainstream media focus or PR effort, they want material that's going to drive page views.
That's how they're supported. There's still some objective, of course, in there. But anyways, you're much less able, at that point, to connect into your sales pages. Again, what we're talking about here or one of the benefits here rather links to sales pages, which of course is going to enhance the rankings of your sales pages.
How to guest post.
Now why is that much easier in this context, in the context of assisting somebody else sell? Well, let's dig in and talk through the how, and you'll see likewise what makes that possible.
Finding publishers.
Mainly we're talking about discovering publishers with whom you have top-of-funnel overlap, where some of your top-of-funnel subjects, the pains that your prospective customers have and the pains their prospective clients have are comparable, interrelated.
Possibly we're talking about audience overlap. Perhaps we're talking about market overlap.
In the SEO area, we all have our favorite tool stack, the tools everybody utilizes, Moz. Well, if you're offering into that, if you're a firm like Citation Labs, it may make sense to work and attempt to get some presence on a SaaS tool in the SEO space.
Let's work here a little bit longer however, stick on this one a little bit longer and think about unbundling the stack in different verticals, due to the fact that this is really at the heart of the process and the technique. Let's think about you're a real estate agent.
Within your stack or your market and certainly within your location, there are going to be some roofers too, and a handful of these folks are going to have blog sites. Not all of them, however a handful will. You're going to approach a roofing professional with a subject such as 10 factors to fix your roof before you put your home up for sale.
Now, this solves a roofing contractor seo company gold coast problem, doesn't it? It's factors to acquire roof services. Also it provides you an opportunity to speak about your know-how as a realtor and what effect roof condition might have on the sale of a home.
Let's go into this one here, commercial ovens, let's state those brick ovens for pizza. We're taking a look at someone in the flour space. Possibly they've got some organic flour. Well, you're going to compose them a guide on why you require to use natural flour in your pizza dough for your pizza restaurant, the distinction that organic flour can make on the result of the quality of the dough, of the crust.
You're going to speak with temperature influence on organic versus not natural, if there is. There might not be, but let's simply for the sake of this assume there is. Then you're also going to have an excellent chance to link to your business pizza ovens.
If you're on a site that offers flour into the restaurant area, well, it truly makes sense for you to have some visibility there. Let's say you sell mobile phone and you're considering the physical fitness or health area. You can pitch something.
You find a physical therapist. You have actually got 10 apps that augment your physical therapy. This can work simply as well for let's say a yoga studio or a CrossFit health club. Apps that augment your exercise, your physical fitness program. Again, you're putting them initially, because you're speaking about enhancing services or work that's already going on, which is type of presuming that someone would be their client, would choose to go to this physical therapist, or would select to attend yoga classes at this specific studio.
Sharpen your pitch.
They publish due to the fact that they want to offer services and products. You're thinking about subjects and formats that are going to support that and that overlap with what you're offering and how you're operating. Try and get calls to action for your publisher into the title.
We could revise this one. Ten factors to repair roof prior to sale of house. No, 10 factors to call a roofing professional before you put your home up for sale, or 10 factors to call a roofing professional now if you're going to put your home up for sale in April.
So once again, you're actually looking at sharpening your pitch for the desired function of this publisher group. You're believing beyond the short article. We discussed it a little bit, mentioned this earlier. You're considering FAQs. You're considering glossaries.
Check out different formats.
What other formats could be strong, prospective formats? An infographic, a little, little infographic. Any of these might be explained or supported through using graphics. Again, this is the kind of file or pitch that might be actually effective, since the publisher is going to see immediately how it could benefit their sales, the reason they publish.
Keyword research study.
You're going to lean into keyword research study on your pitch. Again, there needs to be overlap for these terms and with what you're attempting to offer it or with what your subject requires to be.
If you have actually got some basis behind your pitch, some keyword research study to support your subject and why it's going to benefit the publisher, you're miles ahead of any person else who is pitching them.
Assist promote.
Then you might even offer some promotion. You're going to link to it from another placement if you get another one. You're going to put it up on Twitter to your following. You're going to mention it on Facebook, and so on. Maybe even purchase some ads for it.Fact-based citations. Now one of the essential pieces here, it's sort of hidden down here at the bottom. You're going to make sure that when you're linking to your pages on your site, you're doing it in the context of a fact-based citation. Ideally you've got something on your sales page, we call it a citable element, that's fact-based, preferably your own data that supports a purchase choice eventually.
Again, this design or this approach has to be supported by citable components living on your sales pages or whatever page you're linking to, if you pick to go this path and not always do sales pages.
Conclusion.
That's our method to visitor posting on sales-supported publishers. Offer it a shot and let me understand how it goes.
