Buzzsumo: Research Potential Guest Authors and Set-up Content Alerts

Learn how Buzzsumo will help you vet potential guest authors so that you can maintain high-quality standards and authority on your blog!

Blogging is alive and well and contrary to what some might think - guest blogging is not dead either. It's growing and it offers lots of potential for savvy bloggers to expand their online network and more importantly to build their email list!

As the owner of a successful blog, Basic Blog Tips, I get approached several times per week by potential guest bloggers but some of them never make the cut! One of the tools I use in the process of vetting potential guests is called Buzzsumo. In this class you will learn how to use Buzzsumo to examine the work of potential guest authors and find out if they have the level of expertise you would like to represent your domain.
