Guest Authors Can Help You Build Your Site

You can give invited guest authors the ability to publish their articles within a specified section of your site.

Building a big content rich site all by ourselves can be tough. There's only so many hours in the day, and each of us only know so much.

Publisher-For-You can help by making it easy for you to collaborate with other authors.

You've probably noticed that we've installed over 25,000 articles from outside writers in your account as a place to start.

You can also set up Guest Author Accounts for your favorite authors, which allows them to publish, and edit, their latest articles right on your site, in real time, without your help.

Here's How It Works

Let's say you have a site about dogs. A friend of yours is an expert on dog grooming.

You create a category on your site called "grooming".

Then you create a Guest Author Account for your friend, so she can publish and edit her articles on your site within the grooming category at any time.

You're In Control

The Guest Author Account limits the guest to publishing and editing within one specified category of your site. They can't touch any of your articles, or control anything about the way your site looks or operates.

You give the guest author their own password, so they don't have access to your account, only to their own limited control panel.

You can turn guest author accounts on and off as you wish.

You can change which category the guest is approved for.

You can create as many guest author accounts as you need, and delete them when they are no longer needed.

You can edit or delete articles by guest authors.

If necessary you can delete all of a guest authors work with a few clicks, by deleting that entire category from your site.

Multiply Your Possibilities

The search engines like big "authority" sites.

Imagine trying to create a 1,000 page site of original content all by yourself.

Yikes!

Now imagine building the same site with a team of fellow experts, each of whom is publishing on their own (under your supervision) in their own section of your site.

Phew...

Publishing a large site just got a lot easier.

Guest Author accounts can help with promotion too.

Now you've got another bargaining chip to put on the table when seeking links from other sites in your niche.

If the person you want a link from is a good enough writer, don't just offer them a link back, offer them their own section of your site. That should get their attention.

Of course the more content you have on your site, the more exposure your site has in the search engines.

Thus, more traffic to your site, and the articles you're writing.

Congratulations, you just got promoted from author to publisher/editor, and can now run a real magazine on your site.
