Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it. To hear them tell it, bloggers who don’t give it away have turned positively abusive.

Every day I networked with other bloggers, submitted content to other blogs, engaged in forums on my topics, commented on other blogs, learned about SEO and much more. At the time the term ‘guest posting’ wasn’t that common but people did feature content from other bloggers from time to time. Social Bookmarking.

Posted by -LaurelTaylor- Around 2005 or so, corporate blogs became the thing to do. Now we want to make the most of that value by improving, expanding, updating, and promoting the content. Data says that this is well worth the effort, with business bloggers that update older posts being 74% more likely to report strong results.

My first experience of ‘guest posts’ was back in 2005 here on ProBlogger when I decided to take a month off blogging to have a holiday with Vanessa and wanted to keep posting on the blog. One blogger even told me that it led to them getting a dream job. Bloggers I’d never heard of would pitch to post on my blogs.

So I always encourage beginning bloggers to start by establishing yourself as a voice people want to listen to. Write about things you are passionate about and be very particular in what products and affiliate links you promote. When people trust you, they will put much more weight in what you promote. Or can that come later?

Back then (it was 2005), nobody was making money from blogs (or if they were, they weren’t talking about it) so it was news that quickly got passed around. It was picked up by quite a few other bloggers but also went viral on Slashdot, which was the closest thing that there was to social bookmarking back then.

I began blogging in 2005 (my promoted blog was founded in 2009) and have never looked back. Bloggers need to protect their real estate.

When I started blogging (back in 2005, when RSS feeds were really big), I paid a lot of attention to when I published my posts because it seemed to affect how many people saw them. For instance, one parenting blogger I know finds 9am on Mondays a great time to publish because her readers often show up once they’ve got the kids off to school.

If we have a key post, like a sales related post, we try to get those out on Mondays US time, plus it enables us to promote it for the rest of the week.

A reality check. But out of those 30 or so blogs, only three were doing well.
