I think to many of us who blog, featuring a guest as well as being a guest, can bring in a fresh perspective on our specialty. I would definitely consider both using and being a guest poster.

I have yet to receive the articles but look forward to having someone else bring something to my blog. You are correct, their articles could bring on new people to view your blog. I can only hope that this happens for me. Thanks for the post, Joe I have asked for a few industry people to write a guest column for my blog and I can tell you that everyone has said yes.

I like the idea of introducing people who are better known offline, as they may not already have all the connections. Good thoughts.

When someone contributes to your blog do you have them sign anything stating that the blog now owns that content? I'm just curious about what would happen if a contributor wanted to remove their content after it had already been posted (e.g. maybe they decide they should have been paid). Great post.

Did you pay anyone to guest write? I would assume that you don't, but then you and your blogs are famous and attract lots of traffic, so there are more incentives for the guest authors to write for such blogs even without being paid.

It will also help to enhance blog contents where the guest blogger is already a writer and we can expect great articles from them. This is great!

Like Pedro mentioned above I suspect this would work better for you given how popular your blogs are. There's a lot more incentive for the writer than there would be writing for the rest of us. However I think this could till work well for less known bloggers. The key would be in who you contacted. If you contact magazine writers who aren't well known either the incentives match up more. Similarly for book authors on less read subjects. The key is to target a writer where you both derive benefit from the guest posting opportunity. Interesting idea Darren.

My primary reason for going is recreational, but I'm going to take my mp3 recorder and interview various participants about their home based businesses. I'll then get the interviews transcribed and use the interesting bits in my www.homebusinesswiz.com blog. And if I had a podcast I could use the material there as well.

Having said this - some blogs have the author's identity as more central than others and for a blog where the author is less central then it wouldn't matter so much.
