Ok, so this is happening now. I’ve shared my concerns about guest blogging going mainstream and thus becoming synonymous to “link building” (which in itself may sound absolutely normal but this aspect should not become the main purpose of guest blogging).

Hi,
My name is [something], I represent a growing list of professional bloggers, and I want to see if you need guest bloggers for your blog. I can connect you with a topically relevant blogger that will be a perfect fit for your audience. Below are 3 examples of blog post done by some of our professional bloggers:
[insert links to posts of questionable quality here]
The guest blogger will write an interesting post per your instructions, and of course you would get to pre-approve all post and have the right to refuse or request/make edits to the post before it goes live.
If you are interested in this free service, I would be more than happy to send you some sample story ideas and connect you with a quality blogger in your niche.
Thank you for your time,
