Read on to find out how to be a Popsy and Mama guest blogger...

What is a guest blog?

A guest blog is unique content written from someone outside of your business or network, that is then shared on your own blog.

Personal bloggers and businesses like to receive guest blog content to make sure their own blogging channel stays fresh and interesting.

Why is Popsy and Mama accepting guest posts?

I, Sam (founder), want to make sure Popsy and Mama's blog provides you with information that make my posts enjoyable, but resourceful too. That's why I'd love to hear from parents, bloggers and small businesses about ideas and opinions affecting our everyday lives. I'm also a huge supporter of the shop small network and want to make sure my blogging platform celebrates small enterprises in the UK.
