How to Guest Post With United Black America to Promote Your Business/Blog/Website

United Black America is looking for writers!

The benefits you gain from guest blogging with us (aside from good Karma!) is an expanded presence on the web and better visibility. Its a win-win situation: we get great content from you, and you build your audience and customer base with readers from our site.

We don’t mind sharing our traffic because we know there is enough to go around. You don’t just read one blog, do you? Neither do our readers, so let them know you are out there too!

Here is what you need to do to get started:
1) Be a reader

It’s important you be familiar with what we do here before you approach us for a guest spot. If your topic doesn’t fit into one of our categories, you might try re-writing it.

2) Write everything out and proofread before submitting your post

Already have an article ready to go? Great! Use the contact form below to submit it to us. If there are lines of code to be inserted in your guest post, put them in there. That includes the HTML code for hyperlinks.  Also, be sure to run a spell check before submitting your article.

3) Promote your post once its up

One of the great things about guest posts is the cross-promotion gained by leveraging both bloggers’ social networks. While you are busy promoting your spot, we will be doing the same. The result is instead of having just one group checking you out, you will have two!

What Guest Blogging Is NOT

1) A guest post is NOT a product/site/service review

DO NOT try to write a post just to pitch your site, product or service! I don’t mind you doing a little marketing, but make sure it comes with some great informative content that readers wont mind checking out!

2) Guest blogging is NOT just link building

I know the benefits of link building, but if link building is the primary reason that you guest blogging, you are getting it WRONG from the very start. If you only need links, don’t even start guest blogging. Period. Go build links!

We look forward to seeing your work here at United Black America, and if you have any questions just leave them in the comments box!
