SERVIS YOUR POST

Getting invited to write a guest post on someone else's website is an exciting privilege for an aspiring writer. With a guest post, you get to introduce a brand new audience to your writing style. Since opportunities to create guest posts are highly sought after, you need to create a top quality piece that will intrigue your audience and impress the owner of the website, news organization or blog. A great guest post can lead to more invitations to share your writing. With that in mind, let's look at some awesome formats for a guest post.
1) List Style
You can rarely go wrong with a list style post. Since a reader's eyes can wander on a backlit screen, a list is a great way of breaking up information and presenting a long post in an easily digestible form. Lists can take the form of a series of useful tips, with each item presenting a different piece of advice that may be useful to readers. A list can also be a great tool for presenting information that might otherwise end up looking disorganized.
2) Interview Style
Sometimes, site owners prefer to ask guest writers questions rather than allowing them free reign in a guest post. Don't take this format as an insult; a good set of interview questions can make a guest writer look important and worth listening to. Before composing a post in this style, ask the owner of the website if he or she would like to do this post in an interview format. For a humorous twist, guest posters can interview themselves, get interviewed by a fictional character or make up and answer absurd questions.
3) Review Style
Sometimes, site owners will ask guests to review a particular product or talk about a piece of media that inspired them. These reviews should not contain blatant product placement unless a site owner specifically requests it. The goal of these reviews is to get an audience interested in products or services that they may not otherwise have heard about. A conversational tone is best; your audiences may not react well to a post full of advertising buzzwords.
4) Marketing Blitz
On rare occasions, a site owner will ask a guest blogger to promote his or her products specifically. These aREn.. valuable opportunities to market your goods and services to a receptive audience. Always treat your readers with respect by giving them a great article to read; try to be convincing without appearing too pushy. You can convince your audience to try your product by explaining how this item fills a need they might have, by offering discount coupons or by explaining how your creation is different from its competitors.
