The Adventurist is currently seeking guest writers and bloggers who are looking to expand their reach, readership, and offer up something interesting to my loyal readers.  Your post can be on anything related to the outdoors and outdoor recreation.

If you have been giving some thought on how to reach a larger market, or gain a bigger viewership, then this should be of great interest to you.  66,000 readers stopped by The Adventurist in the month of August and many of them would be interested in what you have to say.

What Is Guest Blogging?

Guest blogging is a special spot meant to give you attention on another person’s blog.  You write the piece, then it is published on someone else’s site.  So what does this do?

First, it allows myself to gain some new content from a differnt perspective.  On a normal day, I put up 3-5 posts.  I have done this for two years now.  I am currently in the process of purchasing my wife and I’s first home and will be making a big move in the next two weeks.  Rather than try to fit in my blogging with my moving, I thought that this might offer up an opportunity to those that would like to gain some extra exposure, while also not allowing myself to fall behind.

Secondly, guest blogging can be your best friend.  It gives you a nice bit of exposure, introduces more of your work to the public, and can garner your blog or website a bigger audience.  The Adventurist offers up a very high Google rating–often times in the top three or four for any given subject across all search engines.

How does this work?

Easy.  First you send me an email through my Contact Page offering up a brief introduction to yourself, what you are interested in writing about, and any links to previous works published on websites or blogs.  If I think it sounds good, I will email you back promptly with the go-ahead and my personal email address.  From there, you write the piece, email it to myself, then in a few days it will be put up on the site as the first post people will see.  It will also include a byline with your name and a brief author’s bio that will include links back to your site of choice. Before you send off that beautiful piece of writing, there are a few ‘rules of the game’ that I need to address:

Rules of the Game

1.  All pieces written must not be a blatant attempt at advertising your products or website.  (I do sell advertising for those purposes.)

2. Any link back to a ‘commercial’ website (one selling a product) must be approved by myself.

3. Keep it family friendly.  This hasn’t been a big problem in the past, but I always like to throw it out there.

4. Any post that you give me permission to put up can not be published elsewhere for a period of 90 days, even though you are free to link to the article or discus it on your own website or blog.

5.Any post that you give me permission to put up can be used in the future by The Adventurist as a reference or ‘as quoted from’ piece.  Proper credit will be given to yourself if it is used, with another link back to your site.

6. All photos and writing must be original material, or given credit from where it came from.

7.  By contacting me through my CONTACT PAGE, you agree to all terms and permissions outlined previously.

This is not a paid blogging position.  Any time or effort you put in to writing the piece should be looked upon as being done on a voluntary basis.

With all of that out of the way, I look forward to reading what many of you will write about and hope that I can get a bit of interest by opening up my blog to others.  This is an experiment to see what kind of interest there is out there for this kind of opportunity.  If it looks to be successful, I may open this up on a more regular basis and offer all of you more opportunities in the future.

By the way, if you have read down this far and are not interested in blogging for The Adventurist, at least take the time to click over and register at my newest sponsor’s website:  Sportsmans Gear Daily.  Sportsmans Gear Daily is currently giving away a FREE hunting or fishing adventure every single week to someone who stops by and registers.  That’s all that needs to be done.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave me a comment below.  I will be watching this post and will try to answer any questions that you may have in a timely fashion.  If your thinking of writing for The Adventurist, be sure to subscribe to my free daily email newsletter to stay up to date on what is going on, as well as to see when your post shows up in your email, as published by The Adventurist.
