Guest Posts & Guest Buzz
We'd like to introduce you to a really exciting new feature to SeededBuzz - Guest Buzz!
The idea and benefits of writing a Guest Posts as a powerful way of marketing blogs has been established for a long while, and become a proven and preferred marketing strategy by most power bloggers.
Essentially the win-win is the blog owner gets a free post and makes a friend. The Guest Post writer get to introduce their work to a wider audience and gets a valuable link back to their blog from the post introduction or signature that tells the reader that the post was written by a Guest Writer.
So let us explain what we've done to make using this blog promotion strategy easy for you by telling you how Guest Posting and Buzzing works.
Want Posts Written For You On Seeds Of Your Choice?
- When you find a Seed you like and would be willing to accept a Guest Posts on (subject to you liking the Guest Post being suggested), you publish an invite by clicking the blue button marked "Invite Guest Buzz offers on this Seed'.

- You will receive Private Messages from other bloggers asking to write for you and once you've found a blogger you want to work with and a Guest Post you like, you then publish the Guest Post with an introduction to the author and a link to their websites, and a link to the original Seed. Once published you submit the post as Buzz on this website, thus creating Guest Buzz and promoting the Seed owner blog, your blog and the Guest Post writers blog at the same time
- Unless you want more Guest Posts on the same Seed you should then remove your invite for the Seed via your account page.
