Worthwhile Endeavors for a Blogger
Subtitle: What your time worth?
If you’ve been blogging for a significant amount of time, you’ll notice that your attention can get pulled in a few directions by various opportunities offered to you. With time being a precious commodity, you’ll have to figure out what to filter out and what is worth your time.
Free Advertising
You may receive emails from other bloggers or organizations to feature their content on your site. As far as building relationships with other bloggers this is probably fine, as long as the content is relevant and brings value to your site. But, I do not believe in free advertising, so for the most part I shun away organizations that are not willing to compensate me for giving them publicity. Either barter or pay up.
Blog for other Sites
Many times, other sites offer you the opportunity to put your content on their site. You’ll have to weigh this out to see if their exposure is worth your time because many times they’ll ask for unique content. So, in essence you’ll be blogging for two sites – yours and theirs! Don’t be afraid to ask for pay or a short bio after your post w/ a link to your site.
Other bloggers may offer the opportunity for you to post content on their blog. This usually is a win, win situation and establishes a great relationship.
Equal Value
Whatever you do, make sure it is for something or someone that you don’t mind supporting or you receive equal value or get compensated.
