There’s no substantial traffic boost to your own site. Your work is free labor to them, and do you profit from it? Probably not. They get traffic because of the articles they publish. However, Huffington Post makes money on their traffic, so whatever traffic comes from or to your post, they profit from it. You’ll put in a few to several hours of work, depending on what kind of a writer you are, and you’re not going to be compensated for that time. YAY you get approved, so now you research, write, and wait for your publication date (if you even know when that’ll be). You try to think of something that’s universal enough to be appreciated or controversial enough to be interesting, then you jump through the hoops (minimal though they apparently seem to be) of getting invited to write. So you decide you want to write for Huffington Post. More often than not, someone asks something like “what benefit is there to getting published on Huffpo?” The only real answer is that it’s a big name on your blogging resumé – otherwise, there really isn’t one.īut seriously, the cons of blogging on Huffington Post outweigh the pros.
Every day, in at least one of the Facebook blogger groups I frequent, I see bloggers gleefully shouting themselves out for getting published on Huffington Post.
