Another type of blog post you can write (or feature on your own site from someone else) is a guest post. We’ve put this as a separate category because your guest post can be written as any of the 10 types above.
If you’re the guest blogger, you can benefit by increasing your exposure and adding to your credibility. You can also include links to your own site, which can help grow your traffic.
