The first thing that comes to your mind may be the cash prizes. Read on to find out how much you could win if you join the WBB Guest Posting Contest!
Cash is definitely an awesome perk. However, there are more reasons why you should try to enter every guest posting contest that you can.
1. More Exposure and Potential Traffic
Based on how catchy your title is and how well you write the post, your post could potentially be seen by thousands of people.
Posts from this site often get picked up by popular content aggregating sites such as Technorati (blogging topics), Social Media Today (for social media topics), The Daily Brainstorm (blogging and writing topics), Alltop and a host of others.
Entering this guest posting contest could put your name and your content in front of tons of new viewers.
2. Authority and Credibility
A well-written guest post can do wonders to strengthen and build your authority and credibility. The more readers see your name around the blogosphere, they’ll begin to see you as a blogger to watch.
3. Networking Opportunities
Having a guest post published in front of a new audience means you’ll have new opportunities to network with all of the commentators on a deeper level. Blog readers respect guests who’ve written extremely useful and quality content and are more likely to want to connect with you.
Make it a point to get to know everyone who comments on your guest post and before you know it, you’ll be forming some new and interesting blogging alliances.
4. Links
If you enter this guest posting contest you’ll be allowed up to 3 Do-follow links back to your blog and/or Twitter and FB profiles. That’s an amazing opportunity to build back links for your site and gain further authority with search engines.
5. Cash and Other Prizes
Nothing is more fulfilling than having your hard work pay off in cold hard cash!
The Guest Posting Contest prizes are in!
As new sponsors come in, these prizes will increase. If you’re interested in sponsoring, I’ll only be accepting sponsors for a couple more weeks, so don’t hesitate to contact me for details.

What an awesome promotion idea someone is a genius!? I have said this before I’ll say it again, You guys do blog better! Awesome job I’ll need to get my old #2 pencil out and see what I can come up with.
The competition is pretty heavy for that type of money so I Know I’ll need to bring it.
Maybe I should write about the results of the #IBCT?

Hi Kiesha
What a generous offer. Have got a post I wrote last night so may even enter. Don’t usually go in for these type of competitions cos the bloggers with thousands of followers have a huge advantage right from the start.
Will have to have a think about it. Thanks for the early notice so can think about and edit a post if I do decide to enter.

So many contests, so little time! :) Good luck to everyone who enters and I’m looking forward to seeing the great posts that come out of it.
I’m still debating entering. I’m not very good at promotion but I may enter just for the writing’s sake.
