How to Get Your Posts Featured in Round Ups
You’ve probably seen those awesome round up style posts that readers love to share. They usually feature a list of tutorials, recipes or hacks like: “Over 15 Star Wars Crafts, Snacks, and Activities” or “21 S’more Recipes” or this great list of many Round Ups. Content like this does very well on Pinterest and Facebook. Have you ever wondered how to get your own How to Get Your Posts Featured in Round Ups? I regularly create these types of posts for clients or my own blog and I wanted to share some tips to get your amazing content out there.
How to Get Your Posts Featured in Round Ups
Offer Clear Information/Instructions
Make sure readers can follow your tutorial or recipe. Some of the best posts I’ve featured use a recipe plug-in, images for visual learners or create step-by-step instructions.
Many bloggers have worked years building up their reputation, so if they are willing to link to your post they want to make sure it upholds the quality their readers expect.
Use Beautiful Images
There’s something to be said for bloggers who take the time to produce beautiful pictures. Whether they shoot their own or purchase them from photographers, it shows a sense of pride for their brand. I have honestly filtered out blog posts that contained sub-par images.
If you give permission to other bloggers and content creators to use your images in a collage or in their post you get far more exposure. Wouldn’t you prefer to see your work featured front and center before they even read the round up post? Maybe it’s that one well-crafted image that draws the reader in.
This is my most popular round-up post
Connect with Other Bloggers
There are a few Facebook groups where you can post your links for others to use in their round up posts. I’ve used this platform many times to request links on specific topics. In fact, I recently requested links to posts specifically about The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!. The results were amazing! I was able to feature a great variety of bloggers.
Make Sure Your Site Loads Properly
Sounds like common sense right? I’ve been referred to posts where it takes too long to load or I get error messages. I definitely won’t refer anyone else there if I’m having trouble. So double check your posts before asking them to be featured.
Avoid Auto-Play Video Ads & Excessive Ads
It takes a good amount of time to put together an amazing round up post, so sifting through different posts can be tedious. There are times I have 15 – 20 tabs open to different blogs. I love that my browser tells me which sites are making all that noise because it’s the quickest way for me to click the X button.
Clean, well organized side bars are easy on the eyes. Some ads can be very distracting if it affects the flow of your article. Keep that in mind for all of your posts, not just the ones that you’d like to be featured in round ups.

Great tips. One I’d like to add… Make sure you have a search bar on your site. I like to get a list of good sites and then when I create a round-up I go to those sites and search for the topic of my round-up.

I’ve always wondered how other bloggers get their content featured in round-ups. I’ll have to start paying a bit more attention to the blogging groups I belong to .. I’m sure there are people asking for submissions.
Tim B says
Sign up for my email pop ups when you visit a website are something I hate. I’ll find a sign-up link if I want your newsletter don’t stick it in my face and make me try and opt out of seeing the solicitation. That is something I take in consideration when screening bloggers I work with. But that is my pet peeve 🙂

This is a great read. Being a blogger myself, I easily get turned off my excessive ads and those huge pop ups that invite you to sign up or subscribe. I mean, if you have good content you want to share, wouldn’t it be easier for your readers to get to the article in one click instead of trying to close pop ups and ads and pop-unders.

This is helpful for recipe blogs. I have come across some recipe posts that have very beautiful pictures but the recipe instructions are not very well written. I also get turned off with sites that have a lot of ads, especially those that cover the page and you still have to wait a few seconds before the “close window” option shows up!
