Lately, you must have noticed a lot of emphasis is being laid on guest posting. Every other blogger, whether a newbie or a well established one, is engaged in guest posting. It has almost become a thumb rule for bloggers.

For those, who dont know or haven’t heard about this term, and were thinking of closing your browser tab, here’s the deal.

Another term came to existence and that was revenue sharing. Almost all the blogs accepting guest posts have implemented revenue sharing.
