Guest Blogging: How long should you wait for an answer?

Appearing as a guest poster on other blogs is a great way to build traffic to your blog. I've experienced this first-hand, as I've been lucky enough to be featured on a few high-traffic blogs in my niche (eg, Copyblogger.com, FreelanceWritingGigs.com and FreelanceSwitch.com, to name three). Read more on my guest blogging journeys.

The Problem with Guest Blogging

The one problem I have with guest blogging though is that sometimes you dont' get a response, and then it's like, "now what?" Do I use the post on my own blog? How long should I wait to hear back? Will they ever use my post? So, in my post over at BloggingTips.com today, I addressed the "guest blogging query" question. Enjoy it.

Freelance Writing Jobs Are Starting to Pick Up Again

I've seen an uptick in client orders over the last week or so (I'm swamped this week into next). Many clients are getting orders from their clients who are priming themselves for the upcoming fall season. The ball is starting to roll A few weeks after Labor Day, things really pick up, so continue to market (or start if you haven't been doing so). The orders should start to roll in if you've been marketing like you should.
