It's definitely a project I'll keep in mind for the not-too-distant future! Happy to share the info on Freelance Switch. It does appear to be a lucrative guest-posting venue--in more ways than one. Thanks! Jeanne Rebecca,

Happy to share the info on Freelance Switch. It does appear to be a lucrative guest-posting venue–in more ways than one.

Thanks!

I'd love to have you here and I'd be happy to reciprocate. Thanks for the Freelance Switch tip off. Paid guest posts sound like a fabulous opportunity for greater guest blogging benefits.

While I haven't personally done any guest posting up to this point, I've been giving the idea a bit of thought lately, and I may just begin doing so in 2008. For those who may be wondering about possible compensation, Freelance Switch is one blog that pays for guest posts. Jeanne Rebecca,

Just read your guest post and enjoyed it!

That's why I put out a general invitation. If you'd like to guest post here or you'd like me to guest post on your blog, just ask. I'd love to have you guest post here, Melissa. (And you too Michele) I think sometimes guest posts are paid but perhaps mostly not. I find reciprocation the best payment. If I guest post somewhere I'd like to be able to ask for the same in return. If you guest post here then I'd love to repay the favor at some point. What it really comes down to is having the courage to ask. You'd be amazed how often people will say, "Yes", when we expected them to say, "No". It is important to take a chance or two from time to time. I’m not sure what the protocol is either. That’s why I put out a general invitation.

What it really comes down to is having the courage to ask. You’d be amazed how often people will say, “Yes”, when we expected them to say, “No”. It is important to take a chance or two from time to time.

I think my own blog is too young right now to start bringing in guest posters, but it's definitely something I'd like to work on later next year. As for providing guest posts - I have seen this discussed elsewhere and it's unclear whether you pitch a guest post to a blogger, or wait for an invitation. Maybe both? Either/or? Also, is pay involved? Hmmm. Melissa Donovan <a href="http://www.writingforward.com" rel="nofollow">Writing Forward</a> I haven’t guest posted before but it’s on my to do list.
