Becoming a Great Guest Blogger

Hey guys!

I'm excited to bring you this weeks guest blogger because it is a little different, even for me. My friend Sandy, who I present to you this week, is a social media expert and loves, eats, breathes, and sleeps everything social media, and for good reason. Today he shares with us some tips and tricks on becoming a great guest blogger. I thought this would be a good fit for today because a lot of people recently have asked me about being a guest blogger, what they would need to do, what I want them to do, etc... and there are some things that come with giving your article to be submitted on another site, and Sandy explains it here in this weeks guest post.

How to become a great Guest Blogger

Hi guys, I'm Sandile Nene, better known as Sandy. I am 20 years old, I love, blogging, tweeting and reading, and today I want to share with you some Guest Blogger tips that I found. 

Here

1) Search for blogs relevant to your audience. It doesn't have to be your exact niche, but you will want to only guest post on blogs that are similar to your own and that your audience relates to. This helps you establish yourself as an expert in the field and it also helps you make great connections.

2) Make sure the site is credible. Take time to do the research. See if they are getting a lot of comments either on the blog or on their social platforms. Check out their guest blogging requirements. If it looks easy to get a post with them, then you probably don’t even want to bother. If they have strict guidelines and measures for posting on their site, it will mean they are more credible.

3) Build relationships. Sending out mass emails might lead to a few guest posts, but building relationships will allow you to have places where you can post multiple times and where you are a trusted source. This can also lead to meeting new people through these trusted relationships.

4) Think outside the box. People are not going to want to publish or read something that has been done a million times. If your article is new and unique it is more likely to get posted by the big blogs. Read other blogs and do keyword research to get your ideas flowing.

5) Keep up with trends. Set up Google alerts for specific keywords and have your Google reader on hand every day. If you are on top of the trends you will be able to provide guest posts that are up to date and relevant to other readers.

By doing these things you are making sure that you stand out from others and keep your articles interesting and fresh.

'Beyoncé will be in your life like she’s never been before'

Beyoncé Knowles is the name on almost everybody's lips lately. With her epic super bowl performance not so long ago, her announcement of The Mrs. Carter Show, her interview with the queen of television Oprah Winfrey, and her much anticipated documentary on HBO 'life's but a dream', it is no surprise. This woman has it all and then some. If there was anybody I could be for a day, at this very moment I would pick Mrs. Carter.

I haven't laid my eyes on either her interview with Oprah or her HBO documentary yet, but it is the March 2013 “Power Issue” of Vogue that has left me stunned right now. I have to admit with some reluctance that I am such a prier, an A grade celebrity stalker, I want to know the very intimate details about a celebrities life, only because they seem so far away that knowing what makes them human, just like the rest of us, makes the difference. And in this issue, Beyoncé did that for me, even though there was still more to be revealed through 'Life Is But a Dream' I felt an honest picture of Beyoncé Knowles carved through that article. Especially the love she has for her family. That Beyoncé and Jay-Z kind of love, that Beyoncé and Blue Ivy kind of love. Yes please. Reading things like this make me excited to have a family of my own, be a mother, be a wife, and just feel a different kind of wholeness and happiness.

Regardless of all that, she had a banging photo shoot too. The yummy mummy donned some uber sexy outfits, with looks by Alexander McQueen,  Haider Ackermann and Oscar de la Renta.

Beyoncé is the IT girl of the moment and this moment will last forever.

Down On Bended Knee

Hi lovelies, this is just a small post to let you know that my second article on Scene B Seen is up.

I'm just starting to get the hang of it all, and so far loving it. Would love it if you guys could cross over there and check me out *beeeg smile*

Just so you know what you are or might be getting yourselves into, this time I decided to talk about Kris Humphries engagement to Kim Kardashian.

Now, I know we really can't afford to keep up with who is dating who why and how in Hollywood, and trust me, I'm with you on that one.
But you see the thing is, it's the engagement that sparked me.
I may have never dreamt about my wedding day, but I sure as hell dreamt about an engagement.
The boy and I even have 'discussions' about this. You see, he just has to be prepared if he wants to decide to go down that road, you know? He just has to know that while I'm not expecting a 2 million dollar ring with sky writing and fireworks {although that would be nice} I'm expecting more than just a quick proposal in the car outside my house after our date from wherever the hell we decided to go that night.
I have a right to don't I?
What girl doesn't dream of having the most amazing proposal?

Luckily for Kim.
Check the story out here and let me know what you think? yes?



In the meantime, heard of any great proposals? could be yours, a friends, someones cousins sisters boyfriends mother, anyone really. Please share.
I love a romantic story.

{p.s} Have you seen this? This proposal was amazing. I almost cried. How thoughtful is this guy?.
Remind me to send this to the boy.



Have a lovely day, and don't forget to check out my article. *another beeeg smile* I really appreciate those that will and those that did last time. Thank YOU.
