Many times blog owners will be looking for more fresh content for their pages. And, if you are a good writer, and you write compelling articles, other blog owners may be willing to post your article on their site for free. They get the benefit of free unique content for their site. At the end of the article, you would display your link which can send traffic to your site and also boost your page rank.
The key when you write this article is to focus on the topic of the blog you are writing for. This way, there is a good chance that the readers will enjoy your article and also, that your article will be accepted. Also, if you have a great post, you may want to display it on your own website so sometimes, writing articles for an identical site to yours doesn't make a lot of sense. Remember, one of the value ads to the other blogs is that you will be supplying them with unique content - so they aren't going to want you to reproduce the article on your site. So, if you can find blogs whom you think you can add value too, and if the article you write fits better onto another blog than yours, than this can be a good strategy.
To move on this initiative, you need to find blogs that you think you can add value to. Then send an email to the blog owner introducing yourself and asking them if you can write a unique blog post for their blog. Tell the owner that all you'd ask for in return is a link at the end of your article to your blog. But, again, communicate to the blog owner that you would have a post that you think is better fit for their blog as opposed to yours - so you see this as a win - win.
So, get started on this today. You may enjoy writing for other blogs, and it can be a good source of quality links and free traffic. Just make sure, however, that your main focus continues to be on your blog!
