Guest posting/Guest blogging is not just about getting backlinks. It is an opportunity to target new audience, increase subscribers, grow your online audience and build relationships with other niche influencers.
Guest blogging can benefit you
If you do it right. It’s a game not everyone can play, but to play well and win, you would need to know a few things and follow certain steps.
The first thing you should do is to determine the purpose of your guest blog. Why do you want to publish your content on other sites? As I said earlier, for a backlink or getting more followers. This should not take much time but is more important.
The second most important step is to find guest posting opportunities. Not every site on the internet accept guest posts but a few of them do. Everyone wants to publish content on top guest blogging sites but very few of them get through successfully.
Most of the guest bloggers intend to write for getting backlinks. To do this right, you would need to take care of few things. To publish your post on high authority sites, you would have to write high quality content. Otherwise, targeting multiple less authority sites would be the ultimate goal.
To help you get out of the research process I have listed below a big list of sites that accept guest posts. Before reaching out for guest posting, make sure your site has quality content, otherwise you would be looking to reduce bounce rate.
