Hi all,
In guest posting, is it better to mimic the main blog's style or should you bring your own style over? On the fence so wanted to hear what others thought.
Thanks!

I use my own style when I guest post.

I use my own style…honestly, it's because I am too lazy to try to change my writing style…

The host blog would probably like to bring in a new perspective to his audience. The audience would probably appreciate the variety as well. So I would suggest you bring your own style to a topic relevant to the host blog's and do not try to mimic.

I always write in my own style, but I do try to pick topics that relate to the hosts blog since that's what is interesting to their readers.

SPF, Crystal, P2PNoob, and Ashley,
Thanks for all your replies. I guess now I'm off the fence!

Hello Buck!
I would say your own style (as long as it's fine with the site owner) because then people will want to go to your website to get more.

I would say to write with your own style. A number of people have written guest posts for me recently (and I can still use more), and they all write with a different style. I think it's great to mix things up on the site!

I would go for your own style of writing, as you are trying to promote your own blog and you want to stand out. I would make sure that the topic fits with the host's blog though. I would also reply to any comments that the post generates as I always really appreciate the extra effort.

Agreed. I will change the topic to suit the audience but always post in my style and voice.

Right, I would find it difficult to write outside of my own style, but I do try to pick subjects that fit with the blog.

I have not done many guest posts, very few infact. I pick the topics to fit the hosting blog, but style/content will be mine.

Thanks all! This may be the first time ever where all replies are exactly the same. Post in your style and voice. Amazing. Looks like I know what to do!
