Featuring other people on your blog

This is one way to create new traffic and maintain existingtraffic. Let’s take a blog of pets for example. Pet lovers are usually avid and
they would love their pets and themselves as well, to be featured. So why not
feature them in your blog? We do that once in a while when I was co-writing
articles for a pet magazine. When a friend is featured in our article, they
would buy 5 copies to give to their friends. With the blog, it is easy for the
featured person to spread the link to your blog so his social media friends can
see the article. And for best results, add photos of the person.

That is a good idea but I don't have any friends who are blogging online with the same genre. I have two blogs of recipes, Asian recipes and baking cookies , cakes, muffins. However, I have a friend who is planning to add my blog into her blog. I am excited and trying to clear up my messy blog now.

This is like guest blogging,where a different person's article is posted on a blog other than the blog owner.I do this a lot though mostly on topics that needs expert input.I think it helps to drive traffic because the guest would also share it on his/her social media accounts.

peachpurple,
It is hard to find people who are similar enough to your own tastes in order to include them on your blog. My content is of a pretty popular variety, so I have a lot of people to use as resources, and many of them just like the exposure of their own work wherever than can get it.

I think that is a great idea especially if your friend has a blog then you can be showcased on her blog as well. I think your idea is a little bit like guest blogging. It probably works very well and is beneficial for both parties. It is a win win for all as far as I am concerned.

This is a definitely a good idea.There are many times where I have shared articles about people who I know and their achievements on social media. I am sure that this idea of yours will help to increase the number of viewers on a blog. My friends really helped me to increase the traffic on my blog by influencing their friends to visit my blog.

I think that featuring people on your blog is always great because they will tell their friends and acquaintances, perhaps even spread it on their social media - all of that results in a nice, free traffic boost. It's basically free advertising and promotion. I would have done this myself but I sadly didn't know anybody close to me that would be good to feature on my blog. If I wanted to do it, I would probably have to pay an expert.

This has been around the block for some time. And it's not unusual too. It is mostly popular to topics and trends such as fashion and gaming communities. For instance, you feature a model on your blog or an event on the gaming community. Some may even feature other stuffs such as celebrities or athletes.

I once interviewed 21 women and published these interviews on my bog. The response I received was overwhelming. I not only received traffic from my followers and subscribers but also the followers of those I interviewed. The interview sent a lot of visitors to my site. When you feature other people in your blog, they will send you traffic and even create backlink for free.

This is one of the good things about this marketing strategy specially when it comes to featuring other celebrities or people on our post or articles. They tend to give you more traffic in return of their popularity because sometimes you would do it for free so it's their pleasure to be featured.

That's really a good idea if you can find friends who are in the same niche as you or share the same perspective with your blog, why not, you can future them. but i can't feature any random person or individual without getting some few bucks from you. that's my own legacy and besides i don't have too many friends in the blogging space.

I think this is a great idea. It's like bringing in a consultant or an expert opinion to a situation. Or, the other person might have a unique perspective on what you happen to be doing which could complement your blog very well. Also, you could survey people and then feature their results or commentary on your blog to try to boost traffic. I think that, with some creativity, there are many ways to benefit from hosting others now and then on one's blog.

Excellent article and a good idea. I think this falls under the quote: "Two heads are better than one". Personally, I love the idea of collaborating with someone else's blog (ideally in the same niche as mine) only to feature each other. Sadly, however, I don't have anyone around me in real life that blogs, let alone in the same niche as myself. In this case, I'll think I'll seek future online friendships with like-minded people who blog and are in somewhat the same niche. Good idea, nonetheless.

I think this can be a good way to get more traffic. By featuring other people on your blog. You get to be the industry leader for specific niche. So that can be a good option for you. I have seen people making some good money by showcasing the interviews. I have seen mixergy using this method and they are now having membership site on this.

I always read that to invite guest to post on your blog is a wise way to attract their audiences, So I think since we bloggers allways need to expand one of good ways to get do it is by getting people to post on your blog or you get blogs to post on to expand your audience.

This is really a good idea. I have not really start working on my blog to make money yet, I will remember this and perhaps I can do this in future. I read about guest posting, and I think it's similarly good for our blogs and the people we feature too. Thanks for sharing this.

Yes guest post exchange can be a good idea. And this way people can transfer traffic from one person to another. I think it takes time for the blog to sustain though. I meant to say one has to blog on their own blog apart from guest posting. It'd be reasonable in that context.

That indeed is a very good idea of marketing for your blog.
Featuring a person would mean indeed that they would spread by word of mouth or in their Fb or social media page to see your blog.
At least you didn't pay for their free advertisement by doing that.
I for myself, likes it when someone tells me that a product is good rather than relying on its advertisement on tv. At least, they themselves have proven it to be good.
Word of mouth or spreading a testimonial through social media is very powerful and effective in advertizing something.

If you give place another top page rank based blog RSS feed on your blog widget area- than your website will get huge traffic. If you think you will give the space from your blog page to another- than you will get the huge traffic.

Thanks

That is definitely a great idea although it's important that you do not feature too many people to make sure that people still know that it is your blog and your content. It's a nice touch to feature other people on your blog once in a while. Your example was great, for a pet blog, I'm sure that many of your readers would love to see and hear about other reader's pets. It may even bring in some new people to your blog as that featured person may decide to show their friends and family who may end up loving your blog

It’s not actually feature people all the time or too often. Perhaps a blog about a person of note can be posted once a month just like saying the personality of the month. You are right that posting too many blogs about people and too frequent would make it appear that it is not my blog anymore and that it would look like my blog is for endorsing personalities. That will materialize when I open up my new blog.

This is a good idea but unfortunately none of my friends are really that much into writing or don't really care about being featured in my blog. That said, there are some people out there who are, and if I really wanted to, I know I could just look for other like-minded people online and send them a private message to ask if they want to write an article or be featured in my blog. That really is one of the best things about modern life, which is you don't have to rely too much on immediate or physical connections like friends and family anymore, since it's not always likely that they share your interests.

I think that is an excellent idea because if the other people have a lot of subscribers or followers they will see your material and maybe they would be interested, you can earn new followers on your blog. Also, they can promote you on their social media which it would be even better because people nowadays love social media and they are constantly watching new post.
A great idea would be featured each other so you win and the other person wins too.
