A few days ago, Glenn Murray wrote a post for ProBlogger called Bloggers Versus Copywriters: 8 Reasons Why Bloggers Do It Better. Now, to be fair, comparing bloggers to copywriters is a little like comparing masterful wizards to sword-in-the-stone apprentices. And last time I checked, neither are copywriters. Out it goes!

Days elapse, but there’s no sign of your published piece. Firmly yet respectfully give the site editor an ultimatum — publish the piece by this date or you rescind the right to publication. Or, better yet, that you’ve changed your mind and will be submitting the guest post to a competing site that will publish your work instead.
