An idea... I need your opinion maybe?

[OnniChan]

I am doing a Market research/poll here, kindly respect my post and no nonsense replies please.

So I am guessing that many here really wants a genuine guest post. But, more often than not, the moment we ask the Seller to view their blog, either:

a) they don't want you to see their blog before you pay
b) their blogs are very high end PBN disguised blog

Thus the reason why those who are truly providing genuine guest posts charge Buyers a little higher.

And let's admit it, it's hard to do the pitching, back and forth, and then coming up an article idea that would please the owners/editors.

So, I am kinda wondering if it is a good idea to create a platform like that of Fiverr, but exclusively for guest posting, (where blog owners can list their blogs, I will check them for authenticity and statistics, price them, then put their list up and live -- in short we verify them)? The list will be uncensored, so you could pick and check the blogs yourself.

(Btw, we set the pricing according to their statistics, I actually have a formula for that already, and it's not gonna be overpriced)

My main arsenal for link building is always guest posts; PBN is just a diversity link for me. That being said, I have accumulated literally hundreds of connections to bloggers of all niches, so if this idea finalizes, there are tons of bloggers ready to deploy during the grand opening.

For the protection of the bloggers and to avoid abuse issues, I would be charging the Client a monthly fee to get access inside (the list). Also, it will be an invite-only for an existing member, so it's gonna be exclusive. This is for the Client's benefit as well.

If you're an Internet Marketer who needs links constantly, would you be interested with this idea? If yes, how much you think would be the reasonable amount for monthly member's fee?

TIA!

It's really a cool idea. Really looking for this kind of service a long time. I don't have any idea about pricing..maybe someone from here will suggest you an idea..

 

[yaphets]

i dont think this is a good idea! especially on fiverr!

@madhanhrithik, me too... there are days where I am very lazy to do the outreaching, but I NEED to. It was very tiring for me for the first year doing this, but later on I develop a strategy so I can get a lot of YES than No. I presume many IMers would be benefited for this. I've looked through 2 sites that has almost like this functionality, but...

First site -- Still dominated by PBN-disguised blogs
Second site -- Sellers there simply outsource links, eg they bought $500 worth Forbes from other source, and then sell them there for $900. (I busted them)

@yaphets, hey I am not going to list them in Fiverr, lol. I said, I will make a website with a system "just like" Fiverr

The idea is pretty cool and can get popular if well-managed. However the subscription part is little lame.

You can charge a % of fee on every successful transaction. This way the website owners need not to pay any monthly pay - because it's easy for them to just create a guest post page and let it be there until someone finds it.

Also, if I'm not sure I'll get X number of clients every month, I wouldn't pay a fixed monthly fee.

What you can do instead is to just hide the domains of each site and list out important factors only. A user can request for 3 site links for free after which you can charge a small fee for each further request.

Just my thoughts

Yes I would say that is a good idea. If there can be shoutout/influencer marketplaces then why not one for guest posts.

Thank you , and that's a good idea too, Will take it into consideration...

No bullshit, this is a fantastic idea.

1. I build relationships with guest bloggers but eventually my provider will run out of unique root domains I can get links from.
2. I own content sites, ad rates are complete shit now and this would be an easy way to monetize content.

I am literally interested in both sides, I would be a provider and customer.

I am 100% in favour of the subscription, the more exclusive and protected the link sources the better the quality. I would pay $10 monthly or lower.

It is a nice idea but not new at all, have a look at this one for instance:

I've checked the site a few while ago. The site belongs to my #2 category, which is...

Second site -- Sellers there simply outsource links, eg they bought $500 worth Forbes from other source, and then sell them there for $900. (I busted them)

For me, this will NOT be like that site (like their "track guest post" thingy). You communicate to the owner in the order page, and they'll answer it for you; you can ask questions such as TAT or any achievable requests (such as back-date or sched the post).[/user]

Its a good idea but again easier to identify and devalue guest blogs.

I don't think so... if it's a genuine blog you are going to get results. I've been doing that method for years, and it never fails me.

The point of my idea is to separate between genuine guest post from pbn disguised guest post where many internet marketers are being misled, weather black-and-white option and exclusivity they want.

Hello is a very nice idea out here, work on it you will see lots of turn ups from people, for the pricing why not make it cheap

 

[OnniChan]

Just for the record I am already doing this and will soon post an official journey thread. Thanks for the encouragement.

I am also already doing this. Slowly adding more and more feature. I do it auction style
