So here’s my third post in my series to celebrate a hand curated lists that have been embedded on blogs.
Here’s the complete list of featured lists so far. Each of these posts demonstrates different ways to use Listly effectively on your blog. We’re always looking for more cool examples, so don’t be afraid to share your embeds.
I think this week’s list it pretty cool because it features an amazingly simply way to put Listly to work on your blog – tracking and sharing your guest blog posts.
I’m featuring 5 lists by 5 guest bloggers that have all been embedded on blogs.
This week’s theme is “guest blogging” to demonstrate a problem every guest blogger faces..
I recently read Andy Crestodina’s soon to be published book and I really began to appreciate the deep value of guest blogging.
Andy is fanatical guest blogger. I believe it was Andy who first made a list to log his many guest posts using Listly. It could well have been Ric.
It was something of an ah-hah moment for me.
It’s a super simple use for Listly, that delivers instant value to the person who creates the list.
High utility, low effort. We like that.
Having a list of your blog posts makes it easy to share and maintain. It makes it easier for others to find you, so you can find more guest blogging opportunities. It’s a like a portable portfolio.
Let’s face it, it’s easy to forget or lose a guest post. They are spread across the web, after all.
Having a list that links to all your posts, makes sharing your posts super simple. Of course you can embed that list on your blog, which helps your content get found (make sure you use our plugin if you are on WordPress).
Listly excels at providing responsive interactive embeddable lists that are search engine friendly.
Big thanks to Andy, Sarah, Ric, Ted and Ian.
Thanks for your thought leadership and your early adoption if this use case for Listly.

Here’s the list of blog posts and pages that feature these lists:
If you guest blog, what’s stopping you making your own list?
I’m sure there will be many more people who will create a guest post list using Listly.
I’m sure this won’t be the first list of guest blog post lists that I share.
If you make one make sure you share it with me.
Add your list to this list and help me keep track. I’m only going to feature lists that have been embedded on your blog.
Enjoy. Happy guest blogging. What’s stopping you?

This is a great tool. Now to make time away from my other tools to implement it.
This is, without a doubt, the best way to track your posts. You've got them all in one embeddable, sharable place. Sorry delicious. We had a good run. But listly is just a far better tool... Thanks for the mention, Nick! I was a huge fan of yours, long before the Spin Sucks follow friday. :)
@crestodina Thanks Andy. What no link to the book? Here is is. I totally highly recommend this. The draft was awesome and in this space that's no mean feat. http://www.amazon.com/Content-Chemistry-Illustrated-Handbook-Marketing/dp/0988336405
Wow, I love it when I actually know people - and I know 3 out of 5 on your list...plus YOU, Nick!
@BruceSallan This social media bubble is a very small place:)
Thanks for including my list. I just added a "my guest post button" on the top of my blog side-bar that links to my list of 6 most popular guest posts. BTW the title of my list does not match the URL, so how do I change this?
@CASUDI My pleasure. Thanks for making it. I updated the title for you:)
Thanks Nick, it's a great way to keep track of the guest posts!
@iancleary Thanks Ian
This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!
@dadofdivas Thanks
Thanks for including me, Nick. I've GOT to get my hands on one of those Andy @crestodina books - as he is such a good smart guy - and I'm sure that whatever he's committed to print is bound to be worthwhile.
@RicDragon @crestodina I really loved his draft. A very simply snappy read, and I loved his ideas around the periodic table of contents. Great visual
@RicDragon @crestodina I"m sure he'll send you a drat if you ask!
@crestodina @nickkellet asked my office to order - look forward
@nickkellet @RicDragon The book is out, gentlemen! http://orbitmedia.com/contentchemistry
Hey thanks Nick for including me on this list, very honored. My guest blogging list is not that long yet, but who knows maybe you just created more opportunities for me ;-) Many thanks !
@Sarah Santacroce Well we are accepting guest posts on Listly and on my blog! You'd be most welcome. It just has to include an embedded list. All the usual guest post content guidelines apply.
@nickkellet alright, very cool, sounds like a plan. I'll e-mail you later this week with some ideas ;-)
