Fresh Fall Feels At Al Serkal Avenue Dubai
By: Saeed Almheiri
Tags: Artist, Culture, Art, Dubai, Middle East

It’s cooling down outside, and Serkal Avenue wanted to provide you with a breath of fresh air.

Though I believe there are many more for you to spend some time there this season, including outdoor film screenings, exhibition openings, cool new concepts, live music, and more.

Have a look around Al Serkal Avenue with me here

The best reason to visit is the exhibition curated by Morad Montazami, Zamân Books & Curating, the original exhibition was produced by The Mosaic Rooms, A.M. Qattan Foundation.

New Waves: Mohamed Melehi and the Casablanca Art School Archives. This exhibition was organised in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary African Art Al Maaden (MACAAL). With additional thanks to Jotun Paints UAE, and logistics partner Crown Fine Art.

It also tells the story of the Casablanca Art School during its most radical period, when Melehi taught there between 1964–1969.

Mohamed Melehi (1936, Asilah, Morocco — 2020, Paris France) is regarded as a major figure for postcolonial Moroccan art and within the history of transnational modernism.

Watch the exhibition here

The retrospective exhibition brings a pioneering artist’s multi-faceted career to life, giving UAE audiences a unique insight into a practice that feels critical and relevant for contemporary concerns in this region.

In the spirit of Melehi’s commitment to bringing art out of the gallery into the public realm, this exhibition extends into The Yard, with an adapted recreation of a mural from the first Asilah Moussem Festival of the Arts in 1978. Photo credit: Alserkal / Ismail Noor (Seeing Things)

This mural was made possible by the team from Jotun Paints UAE along with Zayed University students: Noora Hassan Ahli, Ameena Bader Alnuaimi, Hadeel Ahmed Alshalan, Yusra Zain Alzubaidi, Muhammad Ebrahim, Bilal, Brabakran, Buman, Karapya, Krishnan Kutty, Manikam, Manoj, Mehboob, Morgan, Azhar Nasir, Naveen, Avanthi Panicker, Perumal, Tanga Raj, Shafiq, and Vasant.

Are Israel and the United States wanting to assault Iran?
Tags: Middle East, Iran, United States, Israel

Iran and Israel have a long history of ill will. The different sides in the contention, yet the United States is the third-biggest partner in Israel. During Donald Trump’s administration, Iran went under expanding pressure. He has forced various arms and monetary assents. The US has killed key figures in Iranian governmental issues, for example, General Qasem Sulaimani who was murdered in an airstrike this year.

The death of Qasem Soleimani, has detonated the cerebrum of Iranian Revolutionary Guards and all other Shiite pioneers and raised their antagonism toward the United States and pledged to fight back against the United States and its partners. In the interim, Israel is entangled in an unpleasant contention over the battle in Syria with Iran. Israel has promised to assault Iran’s atomic framework, including delicate regions of Iran’s atomic weapons industry.

Israel had trusted that president G.W. Shrubbery would dispose of Iran’s atomic offices before he leaves office, yet when Obama was chosen it arose that the atomic intensity of the Iranian system was developing which stressed Israel. As opposed to the ongoing Donald Trump organization, it has arisen that it will arrange US military activity against Iran or permits Israel to assault the Iranian system.

There have been past plans by Israel to intentionally assault Iran’s vital partners in the Middle East, as a component of its new procedure of stifling its long-term adversary. However, the Islamic Republic cautions of the critical outcomes of the counter. The plans come as a component of a system for re-arranging the five-year Israeli military called “Force”, which intends to forestall the individuals who contradicted all through the locale, especially Iran.

Indications of Trump’s goal to dispatch a military strike on Iran incorporate the terminating of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper a week ago and changes to other top Pentagon authorities. As indicated by reports, Trump needed Esper to venture down; so he could undoubtedly take part in a questionable military movement that might be against Iran.

In the interim, there is an immediate connection between the US and Israel, particularly with regard to the Iranian issue. Elliott Abrams, Iran’s top agent, was in Israel this week for chats with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be here one week from now for three days to proceed with those discussions.

The entirety of this appears as though a rehash of what occurred in 2008 just as in 2012 when Israel likewise appeared to be on the edge of an assault on Iran. That said Netanyahu truly needed to assault in 2012, he at last neglected to get uphold from the bureau. Remember that Israel’s assault on Iran is perplexing to such an extent that it is constantly observed by the IDF as the last decision. What’s more, there are signs that a potential war, for example, reinforcing the North’s military exercises or planning for an assault on the Iranian system.
Are Women Relevant in Gulf Politics? — Inequality Exposed
By: Shey Abdu.
Tags: Monarchy, Feminism, Empowering Women, Politics, Middle East

The Pearl Initiative, a not-for-profit organization developed in cooperation with the United Nations Office for Partnerships, defines women empowerment as granting women equal access to participate in politics, society and the economy. In recent years, there has been a serious empowering of women. For example, the United Arab Emirates has set a minimum quote of 50% representation in the Federal National Council, in addition to appointing female ministers to populate the ministerial cabinet with women. However, despite women empowerment policies across the gulf, one can notice a consensus in the available literature that there is still room for improvement.

The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap index world ranking for economic participation and opportunity for women benchmarks national gender gaps on economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment, and provides overall country rankings (out of a total of 153 countries in 2018). The 2018 report shows that the Middle East and North Africa region has made the least progress in gender parity compared to other regions.

In addition to the above, female suffrage and women participation in elections are relatively recent, with Saudi granting women the right to vote and participate in parliamentary elections only in year 2015. While today women can stand in elections, whether consultative councils, national councils, parliaments or municipal councils, they tend to be given minimum quota or least critical positions (Alfassi, 2017).

Furthermore, the Pearl Initiative conducted an extensive 15-minute online survey in English and Arabic with over 600 female respondents, in addition to many focus groups throughout the Gulf States. The survey focused on issues relevant to female participation in the workforce across the Gulf States. The common sentiment found in the Survey is that women felt that cultural bias hinders their development in the workforce. In addition, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2017 report on Women’s Economic Empowerment in selected MENA Countries states that regardless of progress in women’s education and the development of empowerment policies, discrimination in legislation based on gender continue to hinder women progression. Emilie Rutledge, Fatima al Shamsi, Yahia Bassioni, and Hend al Sheikh explain in their work on women and nationalization policies in the Gulf Arab states, that women participation in the labor force is limited by social and cultural barriers rather than educational attainment or a lack of capability (Rutledge, Al Shamsi, Bassioni, Al Sheikh, 2011). To elaborate, despite female personal progression in terms of education, there is a cultural blockage to their complete participation in politics and the economy. This indicates that indeed, there is still room for improvement.

I hope this digi-letter finds you well! Welcome to Artyfynch.Now that you know how we’ll function, let’s go over our coverage for art.

As you probably know, art is, unfortunately, pervasive. So we’ve narrowed it down a little bit and grouped it into regions. If we’re talking art, how can we not talk Europe and the Far East? We will also go over North Africa, and the Middle East, known for their rich language, art and heritage. A region relatively lesser documented, with an overwhelming colonial past and a massive mix of cultures, many of which appear similar to the outsider: Central and South Asia.

Cubism, the Renaissance, Surrealism, Baroque, and Romanticism are probably movements you have heard of before. As it so happens, all of these have originated from the West. Do you know Chinese paper and their calligraphy? Have you heard of Geisha Art? Do you know the colours you find in the tombs of Saqqara? Are you aware of the wonders of Muslim architecture in Persia and North Africa? Do miniature paintings which originate in Persia fascinate you? Are you interested to learn fun tid bits about Hindu and Budhist architecture from Asia? Do you know of the traditional brass works from Sri Lanka and their cultural importance? Do you know of Europe’s only tribe, the Sami, and their artworks?

Well then, ArtyFynch is the perfect place for you to be!

That is it for now, I do not want to ruin the suspense for you. As the proverb goes, a man should live to satisfy his curiosity! So stay tuned with us. We will begin venturing into art with you and for you, beginning coming Monday.

Yours Sincerely,

Komal

How to Build Your Portfolio as a Content Writer

Portfolio

As the word itself gives a meaning to portray something. So you’re going’ to portray your own self through your words. Yeah don’t worry you can add your picture also :)

A portfolio is a display of yourself in which you have to showcase your capabilities, strengths, achievements, accomplishments. In short you have to describe yourself in the best way you can.

So now the question is, why and when do you need your portfolio?

Why would others like to know about you? So here you go ,

You need a portfolio when you want to offer your services to others,

When other people want to get benefit from you then they would definitely like to know that whether you have the skill set they are searching for, or can you fulfill their requirements, So making the long story short , a Portfolio is required when you are going to start your career such as Freelancing(most probably) or a website.

Portfolio as a content writer

Content writing is a coveted skill in these days. You have to show your own creativity without any plagiarism and have to provide your client with the real facts and figures. This will happen when your portfolio would be much impressive to attract the attention of clients.

Ingredients of a Portfolio

Should be Accessible

Make your portfolio convenient and organized for the clients Everything in your portfolio should have a coordination The clients should find you congenial to their needs.

Include Samples of your work

Accentuate your portfolio. As a content writer your content is your strength, your identity. So make sure to include your own samples .Because the power of your words will attract the clients and all the visual readers. It would satisfy them that you can meet their expectations. It will show that you are very much familiar with the work of content writing. It will help you to make your position stronger.

Depict your work with the related picture. This will make your work more attention seeking and everyone would easily go to their related searches.

Link to your own blog

To present your professionalism and knowledge about content writing ,try to make your own blog and do give it’s link in your portfolio . In this way you would gain more trust of your client. This will definitely help you.

Include Reviews. That’s something quite worthy. When you’ll start content writing then make sure to have reviews of your clients about your work and after that add it in your profile .This will let the other clients know about your potential.

Summing up all this, you have to think of yourself as a client and then try to make your portfolio as you would want to have as a client. Do update your portfolio from time to time as you continue to gain experience in your field.

How to Build Your Portfolio as a Content Writer

‘If you want to gain experience, you should already have some experience of the corresponding field’, most of the job seekers would have listened to this quote. This article aims to brief how to get that preliminary experience as a content writer.

A very simple approach is to think of the topics that inspire you a lot. This topic selection is quite subjective. Some would be interested in spiritual topics while others would like secular content. This is something where Google cannot help you out. You need to sit for a while with a peaceful mind, and after some quality thinking, you would get your list of interested topics. Thereafter, select the 1st topic in the list and jot down your views on that topic. Then you may proceed towards writing your thoughts on the other topics to get you more articles.

Are you wondering if this is worth mentioning? Yes, because this approach is not as easy to implement as to think of, which proves that this point is worth mentioning here. The key issue one faces while building a portfolio through this way is to get the required list of topics, as a lot of people find it difficult to identify their foremost interests. Once the list is ready, then jotting down one’s views should not be that difficult if one is fond of writing and has a good grip on English grammar (that is why one would be searching for a content writing job, right?). These articles can be presented to the employer either in the form of a blog or as separate pdf files.

Moreover, keeping a check on the related internship opportunities proves to be very beneficial. These internships not only sharpen the skill set of the interns, but they also get a chance to build their portfolio in the internship duration. So, if you come across any content writing internship opportunity, do avail that chance. Writing a book is also a great idea to add to your portfolio. But this task requires an intensive knowledge of the concerned topic.

If your portfolio does not prove to be good enough and you are not satisfied (in terms of the wage) with the job being offered to you by the employer, then I suggest you just accept that offer. After completing the job, you would get one more item to add to your portfolio, and next time you would get a much better job because now you have a much better portfolio. Let us draw a small conclusion from this point; you should not strive to get more money at the beginning of your professional career but rather strive to get more experience. Once you get sufficient experience, then you would not need to strive for getting more worthy jobs. They would come your way themselves, by the grace of God. Just keep those fingers moving to write incredible content and awe-struck the au­­­­­dience.

“HOW TO BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO

Tags: Writing, Portfolio, Content Writing

AS A CONTENT WRITER”

v INTRODUCTION

A portfolio is the showcase of your skills and accomplishments for a specific topic. It is the collection of your strongest traits, qualification, and experience. It provides insight into your personality and work ethic.

WHY THERE’S NEED OF PORTFOLIO?

It gathers your relevant experiences and interests related to your topic and helps the clients for better assessment. It identifies the distinct segment in you that urges clients to hire you.

v BUILDING YOUR PORTFOLIO

An engaging portfolio invites the client to grant you for their work. To make an alluring portfolio, you must seek for following things that consumers are looking for in your portfolio.

FIGURING OUT YOUR INTEREST

To make a better portfolio you must figure out a specific interest in you that makes you fit with a particular position. Including a little bit of everything marks a negative point on your side and encourages the employers to dismiss your portfolio. Instead, think carefully about where your passion lies and what kind of work you want to do.

ADD YOUR BIO

Add your basic information, like qualification, experience, writing skills, and other required details. But keep in mind that you must add up the relevant experience according to your interest. Add your contact details. Prevent the addition of irrelevant information. Your biography shows your capability for the vacant post.

EASY TO UNDERSTAND

A portfolio must be easy to understand and the reader must be clear about your objective. Your portfolio should be easy for an employer to get a quick impression of you. Use to the point articles. The analysis of the portfolio serves to identify the risks and show the potential for your work.

ADDING THE PICTURE

To give an attractive look to your portfolio you must add some pictures that strengthen your context. One of the biggest mistakes that come to the portfolio is showing images of work without any text. It doesn’t matter how pretty a design is, the employer needs to judge how well it met the needs of the client. So make sure you include accompanying text describing what the project brief was, and how you went about fulfilling it.

ADDITION OF SAMPLES

Add your work samples to the portfolio. Add the best of your work, 2–3 samples are enough to show your work. Don’t cluster your portfolio with all your work. Mark your articles that demonstrate your skills and potential for work and add them.

SPELLING AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES

Make your portfolio free of spelling and grammar mistakes. These mistakes will make a negative impact because a client is curious about their work.

UPGRADATION

Upgrade your portfolio from time to time. Learn new skills and add them to your portfolio. Make it more prominent on your specific interest.

What are Portfolio and its need?

A writing portfolio possesses your finest writing as a freelance writer. It manifests your writing skill in your desired topics. It shows your potential as a content writer.

A client won’t hire you unless they have read your script in the niche they need. Hence the need for the portfolio.

Ways to Build Your Portfolio

Here’s what you need to do to make your portfolio more alluring:

1) Discover Your Pet Themes

Here is the fun fact, you don’t need to add in all the writings you’ve composed to your portfolio. Instead, your portfolio must embody your brand. Dig up your perfect potential and write about it.

For example, if you’re marketing yourself as a finance writer who can explain twisted ideas in an exciting, fetching way, you’ll want to include your best specimens; ones that mirror your exceptional voice and ones that are straightforward.

2) Create Your Blog

Start your blog. Write about the areas you are passionate about, publish them on it now and then. Make it a habit.

You can use them as models. You can showcase your work whenever a client demands it.

There are a lot of free as well as paid websites where you can begin your blog.

3) Your Perfect Bio Portion

Your Biography is the place where you sell yourself without selling your soul to the devil. Oh, dear! That was melodramatic. It must express why clients should hire you while sustaining your integrity.

Here are the musts to enter:

i. Pen name.

ii. Job title. Are you marketing yourself as a “freelance writer,” “journalist,” or “content marketing specialist?”

iii. An abridged description of your work course. Make sure this part brandishes your writer’s voice.

iv. Social media links. Facebook, Twitter, or anything related to your work and how to contact you.

v. Something about your personality.

4) Work on Freelancer Sites

Set up a profile on freelancer sites like Fiverr and Upwork. Take orders from clients, give your best shot with honesty and punctuality. In the long run, you will get good reviews and ratings. It will also serve as your portfolio.

5) Write Editorials for Publications

This will also be a healthy addition to your portfolio. If you are diligent and keep up with the rules and regulations of publications then you are good to go.

Begin searching for some best publications according to your proficiency, tell them that you want to write an article for them, and follow the procedure.

What not to Add in a Portfolio?

Don’t clutter your portfolio with all your writings. Include the ones that show your passion and represent your potential to the fullest.

It’s Time to Build Your Alluring Portfolio

You are good to go!

Remember that you have teeming potential, the only thing you need is hard work, consistency, discipline, and honesty. With all these qualities you can Conquer the World!

Practical Ways to Become Successful in Content Writing

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” — Louis L’Amour

A few days back, I was searching for an online content writing course. Thanks to Google, the information about one such course landed on my Instagram feed. I instantly clicked on the same. The post shared by Content Vidhya read:

“Online Content Writing Workshop-6 Days.”

Following were the details for the same. A 6-day course; with 5 sessions of 1.5 hours each followed by 5 assignments given after each class. Day 4 was a break for the students to finish off the assignments. All the sessions were taken by the founder of Content Vidhya — Mrs. Uma Madhavi herself.

So, today I’m writing this as a part of my course assignment, where we, the students are supposed to share our key takeaways from this 6-day course.

Why Should You Choose This Course?

The main inspiration here; is the trainer. Listening to Uma for the first time, I can say her journey as a content writer is commendable. She is a plethora of knowledge and is aware of the latest tools and methods used in content writing. The best part is, she tries to bring out the best of your writing skills.

What Did the Course Include?

Basics of Content Creation — Sharing with us the importance of content and content writing, Uma shared the qualities a good content writer should possess.

Selecting Your Niche — In a world where everyone can talk about everything, we need to find one particular thing that is of our interest. Thanks to Uma who helped me comprehend the concept of niche and its importance.

Research, Research, and Research!! — Knowing that research is the foundation for any type of content, she talked about the importance of keywords and shared with us tips to choose the right keywords.

A few content writing tips — Explaining the different types of content, Uma shared with us the importance of headlines and the ingredients for creating an engaging content copy. While mastering the art of content writing, we also learned the secrets of storytelling and copywriting.

Read, Read, and read!! — While helping us absorb the tips to write a perfect content piece, we also discovered the importance of proofreading.

Importance of Social Media— As David Alston says “Social media is not a media. The key is to listen, engage, and build relationships”. Social media can make a difference in our work as it helps us create our own tribe.

In short, I can say that this course is a value-adding course. By following simple instructions, we learned the concept of what, how, why in content writing. With the ease of learning from home, I was lucky to get an insight into the opportunities in content writing. Overall, the course was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed attending it.

I was a lost writer. I used to actively write during school days for my school magazine. I didn’t find the right platform to start writing. That’s when I came across content vidhya ad on instagram.

I’m glad I joined content vidhya and came back to writing. I love the way uma Madhavi mam handled our batch. Mam was really amazing. And the material provided by content vidhya is very useful.

I gained a lot of insights on how to write proper blog post. I’m currently pursuing my internship in a content writing organization. I’m thankful to content vidhya fo bringing back the writer in me.

The One Where I Learn Writing!

They say be a student for life. I completely agree. Learning is such an essential step to master something. And sometimes even the little things we learn always help us.

Everyone is a writer. Some write books, some write blogs and some write in their diaries. I am a diary writer. Penning my thoughts, my favourite memories. Writing after watching a webseries or a movie. My writing was limited to this. It was something personal to me. But sometimes I wondered if this skill could be made wider like go ahead just from the pages of my diary.

As I was processing these thoughts and scrolling on Instagram I came across a content writing workshop. So this piqued my interest and I visited their website and decided to go ahead.

Let me accept something here these 6 days changed me a writer. My thoughts, my process and progress of this art changed. I may have not mastered it but I am on the right track.

Diary writing is as I said very personal and it is you. The format of writing is very different than when you write it as a blog or write about something more formally. This workshop made me transform or moulded me so that I can also write a blog or write for someone else.

My key takeaways from this workshop:

Blog writing

Content writing

Content writing Finding my niche

Plagiarised free content

Plagiarised free content How to research

How to find content

How to make it a profession

All these will always stay with me. They will be treasured and followed. It is an add on to my hobby and now I can write beyond my diary. And this was possible only because of Uma Madhavi. Credit should be given where it is due.

And now you may ask- it must have cost you heavily. I am saying NO but what I learnt is beyond just the money I paid.

And it was so refreshing to see who has built her own brand name from what started as a love for writing. I hope even my love for writing evolves and it will. This year though it was tough to meet new people, but sometimes it just happens. And I am really happy and luck that it happened.

Even now when I am writing this blog, I know there will be mistakes but back of mind I can hear her saying — make use of simple language, use small paragraphs.

I am thankful to her for making this happen. Super proud of her. #girlpower.

I just did not changed I grew.

How did I become a content writer for a start-up?
By: Lily Jafari
Tags: Career Journey, Content Writing

If I want to talk about the process of becoming a content writer in WINaTALENLT I need to look a bit back. I studied Engineering Physics at college. After graduation, I found out Physics was not for me. I didn’t like teaching and the whole engineering nerdish environment wasn’t working out for me. So I persuaded another field to study. I studied fashion, costume, and fabric design in independent and private classes. Afterward, I started my grad studies in fabrics and fashion design at the university.

Meanwhile, I started to work as a fashion designer and assistance tailor in a studio. The work hours were 10–12 hours a day. Also, the payment was nothing compared to my living expenses. But it was something that I liked a lot (I still do!) and was pretty good at. Then a friend of mine introduced me to the theater. I worked as a costume designer and assistance in different projects from theater to short movies. The whole thing was one of the best experiences in my adult life. Working with a new group every time, meeting new people, engaging with them, communicating, and managing the actors were joyful daily challenges. I always gonna remember my theater days.

As an introvert and a very shy person theater helped me to grow and become more communicative and active. I also found so many new and good friends that I will always hold on to.

Then covid hit. The theaters were closed I didn’t have any projects to tend to. I did continue to work in the fashion studio for some time. But we didn’t have any customers and I was very worried about my payment. I couldn’t earn enough money to meet ends. Also, I didn’t feel good in my work conditions. I didn’t feel appreciated or heard. I was also getting very depressed and felt very stressed out. One day after a bit of dispute with my boss I quieted my job and came home.

A couple of days later my sister sent me a project for the WINaTALENT platform. It wasn’t that hard and I finished it on due time and liked the modern environment with great communication. I felt appropriated and happy. This became a routine. I attended to their projects and got paid accordingly. After some time I started SEO learning courses and felt more comfortable with the whole system.

I was always a bit of a geek so their subjects interested me and I think I’m not that bad in this line of work. I’m going to write more about how I managed to overcome my anxiety at the beginning of my content writing career in future posts.

If You Don’t Know Where to Start as Content Writer in Freelancing

You can find plenty of advice for freelancing platforms by others so I’ll give you another perspective here.

You can work with any business person who wants to promote his online business but can’t write contents for his products/services so you can inject your writing service in his business to solve his problem and save his time so he can work on other area of his business and you can help him save tons of time in exchange of weekly or monthly service fee.

Now it is upto you if you offer your service to one or multiple business people as much as you can handle as a writing service provider.

If you can level up your writing into copy writing then you can charge thousands of dollars for even writing a single page that can bring your client leads that will result in increasing his business revenue (bottom line) and you can then demand your rate if you mastered the art of copy writing and conversion through your writing.

You can find business people in several business related Facebook groups.

Finding a paying client for yourself could be challenging but I’ve given you perspectives and ideas for a different mindset to look into your writing in a different way and connect it into someone else business as a petrol to let his car start running for business ( or even leads and sales later on).
Taking responsibility for self!

Taking responsibility for self!

Having others to rely upon can be a wonderful feeling but having our own back is even better! Life is full of new experiences and when you become in charge of your life you get to have a whole first hand experience with everything that comes your way.

It’s good to have people around to help us, guide us, show us the various directions but at the end it’s you only who has to walk through that path. Once you take responsibility for your self you begin to empower yourself by embracing your journey. It’s okay to ask for help sometimes and it’s the best when the person that you ask for help is YOURSELF!

If we keep giving the steering of our car to someone else we’ll never learn to drive and miss out on an amazing experience called LIFE.

Taking responsibility for self is important because it enables us to become independent and gives us a feeling of freedom. Blame game halts when one takes responsibility for self and instead a new game in which you accept and learn begins.

There are times we all need help, we are unable to cope and handle the situations but those times are only a part of the journey. The rest and the whole of it depends on us. Learning to clean the mess is an art and each individual can turn into an artist by taking responsibility for self!
A Guide How to Find Guest Post Accepting Websites or Blogs
By: Mike Smallet
Tags: Promotion, SEO, Content Writing

Guest posting/blogging is viewed as a way to promote and build link mass and it has been one of the most popular trends in the SEO industry. The existing trends definitely show that its popularity will just grow. This guide is about guest posting and how to get good links to your website.

Define guest posting

Shortly, guest posting can be best described via examples:

If you wrote an article and you are willing to pay to a website for publishing that article — then it is advertising or a sponsored article or post.



If you pay money to another person for writing a post with links to your website or brand in the text of the article — then we call it native advertising.



If you have a piece of writing and you are not willing to pay but offer it to popular websites who are publishing your article for free — then it is a guest post.

The most important difference between a guest post and other kinds of sponsored content is that you don’t pay to publish it. Also, guest posts are normally of better quality than sponsored content.

Why everybody is so excited about guest posts?

In the first place, why would you need to publish a guest post? With a guest post you 1) get your business or brand mentioned 2) establish a link from a respected resource, and 3) get a flow of visitors from their page to your website. These three benefits represent the key ranking factors used by search engines to determine the ranking of a website in the search results.

Now, why an authoritative website would want a guest post from you? There may be different answers to this: different guest post accepting websites have their own reasons:

allow industry specialists to share their ideas

write new content on the blog for its promotion

if they need editorial staff to constantly update their blog

receive free and high quality content

Based on the above, guest posting serves as a mutually beneficial strategy for both writers of guest posts and publishers of the new content.

Can publishing a guest post harm my website?

In most cases — no. But there may be exceptions:

- Paid content, where a website offers to publish a guest post for a fee. This can be potentially a problem since such links are often viewed by search engines as an attempt to manipulate search ranking.

- Irrelevant links. This one is simple: users and search engines would not be happy if a automobile how-to guide is published on a culinary blog. The desired referral traffic is hard to achieve from such a link; incoming conversions are inappropriate and will just worsen your website bounce rate; irrelevant links may be perceived as spam by search engines.



- Low quality website. It is the same as if you establish a link from a link farm. Always see the donor’s quality before suggesting a guest post.
