Guest blogging is a proven way to get your work out to a larger audience. Everyone wins; the blogger, the host, and the readers - but guest blog gigs are usually open only to the big guys. Now using the magic of Posterous, _anyone_ can guest blog - right here - and your work will be promoted on Twitter and autoposted to several other blog sites.
It's easy! It's little more than copying and pasting an existing blog article into an email, and sending it to post@guestblogme.posterous.com - we'll take it from there. Feel free to attach links, photos, or documents - the folks at Posterous will always do the right thing.
There's just a couple of edits you'll want to do. Firstly, make sure you append
((tag: yourtwittername))
at the end of the _subject_. This not only serves as a safeguard against spambots, but also will tag your posts not only on guestblogme but throughout Posterous as well. Untagged posts won't be accepted.
The second edit is the whole point of the exercise! You should add a short autobiography at the beginning of your post. You might want to italicize it to keep it separate from the rest of the article. Be sure to contain hyperlinks to your blog, your Twitter account, and the original article if applicable. Your new readers will then know where to find you!
Submissions will be moderated - all posts have to fit the Posterous Terms of Service, there should be a link below to check those out. Basically, nothing hateful, harmful, unsuitable, don't try to sell anything, don't violate copyright. It'll take maybe 24 hours to moderate - I am, after all, only human - once it's done make sure you follow @guestblogme on Twitter for announcements about your post.
Give it a try - if you have any questions or ideas, don't hesitate to message @guestblogme on Twitter. I'm excited about giving this a go - hopefully it'll result in more views for the most deserving blogs out there!
