Help! Blog wants to Regularly Feature Me?

[DriftwoodGirl]

I received an email from a fellow blogger asking if I would do a weekly post on her blog. A great thing, even though we're both new bloggers with almost no following, but here's the thing, the topic she wants me to write on is already a weekly post on my own blog. Is it a cop out to email her a copy of my weekly blog on the requested topic or should I write a new one? I would love more traffic and potential followers (I have a whopping five at the moment) and am considering sending her a weekly post that includes a few photos and a teaser with a link to read the entire post on my own blog. Is that a bad move? Any advice? How do I encourage her readers to visit my blog as well? I plan to add a sidebar button that will link to her blog, but what else should I do to encourage any readers of my blog to visit hers?

I think you should write article for her blog and she can in bottom of article leave your link to your homepage or another article i.e. (user that wrote this article wrote also your.another.link)

That is the best way to encourage other people to look at your blog. If they find your articles interesting, they will follow links to your blog, for sure..

This sounds like a great way to get new views. If I were you I'd ask the other blogger any questions you have regarding the deal. I'd say write something unique for her blog, even though you are doing the same thing yourself on a weekly basis, otherwise you're bound to insult the other blogger.

I've sent my other questions to the blogger who contacted me. Hopefully we can get things worked out! I wasn't aware that I should write unique posts for her. Thank you both for the tips!
