Need some Warrior advice! Guest post offers.

Over the past week, I've gotten 2 guest-posting requests for my site - Bypass Censorship. I need advice on whether I should take these or not.

The first offer was from MyBlogGuest.

Here's part of what the guy said,
"I am really interested to post one of my articles on your blog. it is about technology and I am sure your website visitor will be benefited from this."

He sounds like English isn't his native language. I'm not sure whether the article will be like that.

The second request has been a bit harder for me to conclude. The person is an SEO specialist for various companies (xfinity, timewarner, etc). The person sounds like they can write better content, however I have to provide a link to those large corporations.

So what should I do?

    I would suggest you to allow both to send you a copy of a blog post each has written so you can decide which one writes a better content and in the style you want. That's it. We also write guest posts and when a client is confused as to whose service he or she will be using, we give him/her something to review (our portfolio) so he can make a decision after reviewing those samples. You can do the same.

    you can accept such offers, but you should tell him that you will only accept unique and original content and other requirements that you may have. you have the right to reject any post you're not satisfied with and that's it.

    and also as contentwriting360 said above request for samples

    Yes at the end of the day it is you who has editorial rights on your site so if the articles are not up to scratch dont be scared to say no and if edits need to be made then let them know or set rules for them to follow.

    I would recommend allowing them to submit a articles for review and then if the articles meet your standards allow them to be posted to your site. Although the first gentleman may not speak fluent english there are all sorts of ways to have your article proofread and grammatical errors removed.

    it's not a big deal. tell them to send a copy for review, and if u didn't like what you read just say no.

    Alright, thanks for the replies.

    I'm definitely looking forward to seeing their work. I'm not sure if the first guy has already published the article

    @sillyme - I love your site! Nice logo and content. I sent you a PM in regards to guest-blogging.

    Never turn down free content! Lol, you always have the option to turn down their submission and refuse to link out to them. If their site looks professional and has any modicum of a potential future, you might be starting a great mutually beneficial relationship.

    Once you get a few good guest posts flowing, you can include a "Become a Contributor" link in your navigation or elsewhere and offer a link to those who meet your criteria.

    This is a great way to build content, PR and links in many niches. Many times guest-bloggers will like, tweet, pin, and blitz the hell out of the post through their social media channels too.

      Definitely get them to send on samples or proposed posts. You have nothing to lose, only a few minutes reviewing them. Plus it saves you having to write a post! Free content!
