Remember, the image is published on your blog: you don’t want stolen images there! Some authors may be unaware that they can’t publish their guest post elsewhere, so it’s best to make clear whether you only accept original content and whether you expect your blog to be its ultimate home.

Days elapse, but there’s no sign of your published piece. Bloggers and site editors, especially at top-tier outlets, are generally busy people. Firmly yet respectfully give the site editor an ultimatum — publish the piece by this date or you rescind the right to publication. No emails from the site editor. Why Does This Happen?

It’s great that blogs let people voice opinions and share them with others, but I think bloggers could use a good dose come-back-down-to-earth with a dash of humble tossed in. I’m a firm believer that even with more and more bloggers cropping up, only the best will rise to the top. Not thought leaders. I hope not.
