How My Blog Guest Has Been Growing (Infographic)

These have been fun and crazy two years (actually 2 years and a few months). My Blog Guest, my first huge project, has been growing steadily and at some point I thought we were lucky that that was not a sudden huge growth. The way (and the rate) we were developing was a blessing for us because we had time to solve issues we came across on the way.

The hardest part about MyBlogGuest was that we were the first. Our platform is unique in many ways. The tools we have been developing are completely ours. We had no examples to follow, no competitors to beat and no one whose experience we had to learn from.

That’s the main reason I’ve enjoyed the ride. And I still love every day of running the site: lots of invaluable experience daily.

MyBlogGuest has NOT been built to earn money. We started as the forum with no monetization plan behind it. All I wanted was to build contacts with bloggers and learn from that.

The way we’ve been running it has always been the same: we have been listening to every single word our members are saying. We are following their recommendations and feature suggestions. And we are working hard every day to make it a better tool for everyone who is using it.

We have our strong and weak points. I am a control freak who is always seeking to make a perfect product – this is why we have never stopped working: MyBlogGuest is always the work in progress.

When I started MyBlogGuest, I had no idea it would once become my priority. It was a hobby. And because I enjoyed running it so much, it quickly grew into something bigger. Read on: How My Blog Guest Has Been Growing (Infographic)

5 Must-Have WordPress Plugins for Perfectly Optimized Images

Long time ago I wrote a short (yet quite complete) post on image SEO which obviously needed an update, so a couple of weeks ago I wrote a bit more detailed and up-to-date article on optimizing images for search and social media.

Today’s article lists most essential WordPress plugins to optimize and make the most of your image content you post on your blog.

That’s not yet another 20-best-plugins article listing an enormous number of more or less useless plugins you don’t want or need. Here are the 6 most essential ones you *must* have to see your traffic spike! Read on: 5 Must-Have WordPress Plugins for Perfectly Optimized Images

Case Study: How I Got 10 Powerful Links to My Infographic in Two Days

Last week we announced quite an innovative tool we are working on: the Infographics Gallery that lets content marketers easily get traction for the infographics they promote (provided they have unique content to go with the infographics).

Our tool is in no way the linkbait-generation machine – there’s no way we can fake the viral effect, that’s true (and my experiment below only proves that). What it can do though is to help create the momentum or let you gain at least some traction for those infographics that fail to.

Going viral is really complex: you can’t fake it, you can’t predict it (with 100% certainty) but you can still help it, to some extent. Our tool is unique in many ways.

As the graphic content creator you get the full control over the infographic spread:

• You are able to choose which bloggers will publish your infographic (and choose the strongest publishers);
• You can get your infographic re-published as many times as you want (provided you have a unique and interesting description each time);
• You control the links and credits that accompany your infographic.

Here’s a quick video tutorial:

Here’s a quick case study on how I promoted my infographic on Social Spam and got it re-published 10 times in two days! Read on: Case Study: How I Got 10 Powerful Links to My Infographic in Two Days

So Are YOU Spamming Your Favorite Social Media Site?

Note: Would you like to get access to the continuously updated stream of infographics with unique descriptions tailored to your site? Or would you like some help promoting your own infographics. Check out MyBlogGuest Infographics Gallery!

My relationships with social media have never been easy. I always really *love* the site I am using but I still manage to break rules from time to time. When I was just getting acquainted with social media sites, I thought they were simply for self-promoting my own articles. I saw no other point of using them.

Later when I saw the real point in actually getting involved and giving back to the community, I was still under radar. I was banned from StumbleUpon. Then I was publicly accused of gaming Sphinn (sadly, those Tweets are nowhere to be found today but now looking back at that issue, I do feel I was rightfully accused).

The trick with spam is that you actually never know. Different people have different opinions as to what is acceptable and what is not. So how about the official Social Media TOS (click the image do see the full version)? Read on: So Are YOU Spamming Your Favorite Social Media Site?

HOW TO: Create a Master Feed of All Your Guest Posts (and Publicize It)

If you guest post as much as I do, you are (1) probably guest blogging too much and (2) already losing track of what, where and when.

My guest posts are usually the best of what I can. It’s unfair to this blog readers if I am not sharing my best articles with them. Besides, sharing your guest posts on your own blog gives you much more:

• Link to your guest posts to give more exposure to them;
• Share your guest posts with your loyal community and readers;
• Create your guest posting portfolio for your clients and partners to check.

At MyBlogGuest.com one of our PRO features allows our users to automatically share all their guest posts via a customized widget (you can see the sample here in the right sidebar).

Besides, one of my old posts shares two more wicked ways to share your guest post on your blog.

This post adds to the above tips: let’s try to create a master feed of my main guest accounts and publicize the feed here! Read on: HOW TO: Create a Master Feed of All Your Guest Posts (and Publicize It)
