#4: Ryan Robinson, founder of ryrob.com:

We chatted with with Ryan, founder of ryrob.com ($40K/month). In our interview, Ryan says:

Guest blogging is so great because you’re not only acquiring a quality link from a more established website, but you’re also creating an opportunity for short-term traffic spikes and building what could be a long-term relationship with someone who will likely be in your niche for many years to come.

Additionally:

Get started and carve out as much time as you reliably can, to begin building your craft, connecting with your future audience, learning about them, and solving the challenges they’re telling you they have.
