Being a Blog Host or Guest by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #BlogHost #BlogGuest

 

I have an active blog eclecticwriter and often have guests. I’ve been guesting on other people’s blogs. Since the first of the year, I’ve been noticing some things about the blogs I’ve visited. They all did something I often do not do. So I’m making a note to let the person pposting to know when their material will go live. Hopefully I’ll remember. Now for some questions from people who have blogs and those who visit other people’s blogs.

 

How do you promote your own blog when you have guests? Do you let them know? Do you post the appearance on Facebook, Twitter or other places that allow promotion? I try to do them all.

Do you go to your won blog when there’s a visitor and read the comments and make your own if needed? This is something I hope to do better with.

 

Now for those who are guesting, a few questions. Do you visit the blog and let the author know you’re glad to be there? Do you promote your appearance on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and other places that allow this type of promotion? Do you check periodically for those who have visited and made comments? Do you dialogue with those who have commented?

 

When I visit, I do promote the blog I’m visiting on the day I appear. I also chack for about a week to see if there are any comments and also to comment if needed.

 

Other people’s blogs can give you venues and find readers and writers you may not know.

  1. I do not have a blog, I wouldn't know where to start, and frankly I think I would be a bad host. That being said, I love to be a guest :)

    Lately, life has been throwing curve balls in my schedule, and I'm not always able to promote my appearance on the day I am a guest, but I normally will on Facebook. I go back to see if there are comments made, and interact with them, if applicable. When I send the material to the hosts, I thank them privately for hosting me, but from now on, I intend to also thank them on the blog. Let's make this my only 2022 resolution.

    By the way, I love your blog!

  2. I never had guests on my personal blog, but maybe I should.

    1. Since my blog goes out daily, having guests gives me a break in having something to say. It's a matter of self-preservation

I have opened up comments once again. The comments are moderated so if you're a spammer you are wasting your time and mine. I will not approve you.
