Solo Practice

Guest blogging is a highly viral, free way to publicize your expertise in front of a different yet compatible audience to attract more readers to your own website and hopefully convert those readers into clients or referrers of clients. 

A well written piece can get tremendous mileage on the internet and should not be downplayed because you are writing 'for free'.  That would be a huge mistake.  As a solo, this type of viral marketing of your expertise is a brilliant way to gain tremendous exposure at no cost (except the time it takes to write the guest post and get the gig and then self-promote.)

However, rather than reinvent the wheel I am going to offer you nine links to James Chartrand's (of Men With Pens) great eight part series on the topic because he says it so well.  And there is a bonus link on whether or not you, as a blog author, should accept guest posts on your blog.

I personally love guest posts on Build A Solo Practice on relevant topics from knowledgeable individuals providing it benefits my readers, speaks to an important issue facing solos and your claim to knowledge in a given area is credible.

You can check our previous guest bloggers under the category "Guest Posts" as well as "Passed the Bar - Hung a Shingle" and "Confessions & Inspirations", the latter two being inspirational stories of solo practitioners.

Would love your feedback on successes you have had so we can share with others. 

And if you are interested in guest posting, let me know!
