Is it worthwhile to write guest post?

If you ask me this question last month, I would have poo poo the question. Then, I am still struggling with coming up with topics ideas, writing, WordPress theme handling, driving traffic, blogging platform and many other stuff, that I almost suffer a burn out. I simply cannot imagine writing for others even though gurus like Chris Garrett and Leo Babauta give it a thumbs up.

So I am cruising now?

Not by a far mile. There are stills tons to do to maintain a blog everyday, but there are some differences now.

• I write faster now as the writing process becomes clearer, though I would like to optimize it more.
• The template is more or less stable now (until I change it again). No FTP-ing the server everyday. No adding codes to the template to customize it. No installing plugins here, there, everywhere.
• I do some future posting, so I have a reserve.
• Using tools like FireFox and Windows Live Writer has help me a lot.

Currently, I have only written 2 guest post. A post about Preezo at Ghacks.net and a post on RAW format at DSLRblog.com. So is it really worthwhile? Other then a small spike in traffic when the articles came out, the best thing is reaching out to other audiences when I cannot do so on small blog loke mine.

I would be very happy if I have 3 comments on my blog. But over at DSLRblog, on the first day there are 10 comments and I believe more is coming in. There is just a great sense of satisfaction. Ok, I am rambling now. I just want to get this good feelings out.

I say go try it if you have the time and opportunity, the benefits might overcome any doubts you have.
