\"Blog--Letters<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here’s a clever idea that solves two problems at your blog: too few people pitching decent ideas for guest posts, and too little traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsor a contest for guest bloggers like the first Career Confidential Guest Blogging Contest that’s starting soon.  They’re not even requiring entrants to have their own blogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a text or video post on the topic of finding a job. Example: “Find a Job Using These Strategies on Twitter.” Then drive as much traffic as possible to your post during a 10-day period, using social media and other marketing methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the seven-question survey<\/a> they’re offering, to help them know what kinds of prizes would motivate you to enter. The three bloggers who drive the most traffic will win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say their site gets about  400,000 visitors every month. If you’re a career or job expert, winning could bring lots of traffic to your own blog or website, and give you exposure to a target market that doesn’t already know about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
