Question 7. Will you be the only writer for your blog?
Yep. That’s the ticket. Bringing in outside talent from time to time is a good thing. It is, right?
Of course this depends upon you, the Blogger, and your style.
If you choose to go the industrious route of publishing once a day, or more, there may be times when you could use a break. A guest blogger can take some of the pressure off.
Also, adding a fresh point of view to your Stream of Blogishness can go far in bringing in new readers, or stirring up comments.
A point of contention for some Bloggers is this: Do you want Comments? If you do , do you only want comments that agree with you? For, is it not said (it is by my Blogging Sensei, Dr. Belew) that contention in comments increases readership? If getting people to read is the goal, sometimes being a bit of a rabble-rouser can serve the cause.
The “hiring” so to speak, of Guest Bloggers has another positive effect. If your Guest Blogger lets his or her audience know that they are doing a Guest Spot on Blog ______________, then the destination Blog may get some additional readership. When you introduce your Guest Bloggers, and include a link to their Blogs, they too get extra traffic.
It’s a win-win situation that livens up both Blogs.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio... and isn't it time you experienced some of them?

Really enjoying your posts today.
Oh, wait, did you want me to argue with you?
To increase readership through contention?
Hmm . . .
OK, here’s goes ~ using guest bloggers isn’t a win-win situation.
It’s a win-win-win scenario: blog 1 wins, blog 2 wins, and . . . readers win!
OK, let me have it! : )
