Authority Blogger Forum News, Guest Posts and Win Cool Prizes
Authority Blogger Forum has been quietly growing, with the emphasis on “quietly” for a while, so I wanted to update you with some cool news.
The first big news is for anyone who would like to attract guest posters to their blog, or who wants to find blogs to guest post on.
Get Guest Posts or Find Blogs to Guest Post On
On the forum now are profile fields where you can add your blogs, your topics and check the box that says you are open to guest posts. You can also search to find blogs to guest post on that match your preferred topics.
As a writer, guest posting is a brilliant way to grow links, traffic, profile, a way to network and help another blogger into the bargain. For a blog, this is a source of quality, free and unique content. Win-win!
Get a Guest Post From ME!
This may or may not sway you, but by the end of October I will be back guest posting again. So if you want a guest post from me, read this again carefully - I will only be using this search form to find blogs to guest post on 
Second piece of news is how you can win Authority Blogger Course membership, respect of your peers, a full month of fame and glory, and lots of gratitude from me.
Win Authority Blogger Course Membership Every Month
Each month the wise and expert commitee of forum members puts their collective brains together to select the forum member who stands out as providing a consistant and valuable contribution to the community. This person is elected Featured Blogger of the month and wins access to the Authority Blogger Course.
Couldn’t be more easy, hang out at the forum and win a cool prize!
- In August the winner was Siyab who blogs at Putting Blogs First
- Septembers winner was PetLvr who blogs on around a gazillion blogs
- As PetLvr is already a course member, I am going to have to think up an alternative prize - suggestions in the comments please?
So, want to win access to the Authority Blogger Course or something equally valuable and cool? As October has just started, now would be a good time to make yourself useful on the forum

You do have a good group of bloggers in there.
And this post is a great lesson on how to go about building a forum!
I first joined AB Forum when I read the ProBlogger book and would go in and out every-so-often. I’ve actually just started getting back into the forum and plan on doing more interaction and now this just gives me more incentive.
Great opportunity!
*sidenote* for already members on AB how about an autographed book of ProBlogger?
@Cindy - I feel blessed how nice the folks on the forum are, especially when you see how hostile some communities can be, to have so friendly and helpful people is just, well, I have to pinch myself
@Nathan - Nice idea, thanks - and good to know you found me through the book
Hmm, if PetLvr had waited a while, he could’ve gotten in for free! :devil:
anyways, agreed, this is a great way to boost a forum!
Hey Chris -
For the results page, how about adding a column where we can see all their blogs and the guest posts they accept? Not sure what keywords to use, so I’m just browsing =)
Ah, Chris, you forgot to mention the other intangible yet fleeting reward of being Featured Blogger…the avatar “beautification.”
For those that want to check out what it is (hint: read the Featured Blogger thread for September, but hurry), please visit the forum and sign up. I guarantee you’ll find it the best forum community around.
And for the suggestion for PetLvr’s reward, I think he suggested one himself.
Chris,
For PetLvr’s prize, I think the only option is for you to go out on Halloween in a Cat costume and post pictures on your blog.
There’s really no better prize…
John
oh, the avatar craze… lol
Great resource. Lots of productive and helpful discussions going on at AB. I spent 5 minutes there and already found a new WP theme I want to try out. Thanks Chris!
Chris, I posted my weekly blog carnival and most of the people that commented on this post are int he carnival. Great minds, and all.
Hi Chris, it doesn’t surprise me that your forum is taking off, or that the people in it are really nice. Likes attract likes, lol. I would LOVE to win a guest post by you.
Just joined - awesome forum - thanks for this cool post and pointing out the resource!
