So, if you want to give back by blogging for a nonprofit, that's wonderful. As for benefits, only you can determine that (eg, do they target your demographic, are you doing it in hopes of picking up paid gigs, or simply because you want to give back, etc.). I was referring mostly to for-profit blogs that wanted bloggers to blog for free (and again, if it works for you, great!). Yuwanda Jason,

There are many who are happy to blog for free. But established freelance writers, or those with full-time jobs who freelance on the side simply don't have time for freebie projects. My blog is somewhat established, yet I'd feel funny asking someone to write for it for no pay. Realizing the value of time, I plod on, writing every post myself (it's kinda my baby too, so I like to keep her to myself mostly). NOW when I get one-tenth of John Chow or Darren Rowse's traffic, that will change. Thanks Russell (dotcomguy) for backing Andy, hence me, up (Yes, I clicked over to find out about you!) :grin: Yuwanda I know you understand Andy, as someone who has a lot going on.

Since i have been writing here at bloggingtips and a few other websites i have also had a few initiations for further guest blogging at other sites, which i didn't expect, but i have found them not to be that suitable. I think that if your asked to guest blog somewhere, and there is no payment involved, the old WIIFM statement is the only one to go by. At the end of the day, its your time that's being traded as you rightly pointed, out, so its got to be worth the time and effort should you decide to accept a gig. Another great post Yuwanda.
