If you are looking for guest post opportunities this blog post is a great place to start. There are tons of guest post opportunity covering all niches. Whether you are looking for technology blogs, digital marketing blogs, small business blogs, beauty blogs or travel blogs you’ll find what you need here so make sure you bookmark this handy resource for guest blogging. What makes this guide different is that I've included the top lists in each niche, so here you have access to thousands of guest posting opportunities by clicking through and discovering sites you can submit your guest post too. What is guest posting?Guest posting is simply writing blog content for another persons website. Instead of writing content for your own site and audience, instead, you write for another bloggers audience. You can find guest posting opportunities & submit your guest post in many different niches. No matter what business you or your clients are in, there will be hundreds if not thousands of websites looking for guest bloggers. There are several different types of guest posting opportunities. The main categories are, guest blog submission sites, personal blogs, company blogs & open content platforms like medium. You'll want the website you choose to feature your guest post to be relevant & high quality. Do not waste time writing content & pitching to low quality websites, the link & exposure you earn will have very little long term impact on your website. Why should you guest post?Neil Patel calls guest posting the best inbound marketing strategy out there, & Jeff Goins has written a fantastic post about the benefits of Guest Blogging to drive tons of traffic to your website. Some of the highlights in Jeff Goins' post are building relationships and growing your popularity with the search engine - i.e., more search engine traffic. If you are wondering how guest blogging leads to more search engine traffic, I'll cover that now. Every time you submit a guest blog to a website you should include a link to your website either the homepage, a key category page or a blog post. Make sure the link / links are relevant to the post and don't just fit them in at the end. You should be creating your content around what you want to market & promote, keeping in mind the audience & interests of the site you a submitting your guest post too. High quality links show Google that your website is a trusted resource & Google should start to improve your ranking position in its SERPS which will increase your search engine traffic. Remember, an increase in rankings doesn't always lead to more traffic, if you are targeting the wrong keywords you might see that your rankings are improviding but your traffic is staying pretty much the same. If you identify this issue then double check your keyword strategy. Both Neil & Jeff are respected entrepreneurs and marketers who have used a guest posting strategy to drive traffic to their sites and grow their brands making them into very successeful & well known marketers. Another benefit from guest blogging is building trust & growing your referral traffic. Even just several clicks per month from a post adds up over time, and this lead is going to be very warm. You’ve already provided a ton of value and associated yourself with a publication they know and trust which means you’ve kicked your relationship off with this person in the best possible way. In summary, Guest Blogging rocks. And then this is the ultimate roundup of lists covering all niches. On this page you’ll find access to thousands of blogs which accept guest posts... If you've been wondering where can I find free guest posting sites, the answer is, right here! There are thousands of guest post opportunities listed below.

If you prefer to go down the DIY root and do your own outreach research then here is a step by step method for finding guest blogging opportunities.
Step 1: Define your audience before you launch your Guest Blogging Campaign
As with ANY marketing activity, you need to know your audience. Who is it that you want to attract to your website? With Ginger Marketing, I am targeting female entrepreneurs who are at the second stage of their business. They already have a base of clients and are looking to increase trust and traffic to take it to the next level. So, I’m not interested in posting on websites which are all about “starting your website” or “launching your business”. These websites have totally the wrong audience for me. Virtual Assistants are a great niche for me. I know that if a business owner is looking to hire a Virtual Assistant then it's very likely they are at the second stage of their business. This indicates that they are at the growth stage and they are willing to invest and see that investing is a good decision to make. So for me, Virtual Assistants with a blog are a very good target. Really break down specifically who you want to get in front of and be creative! Step 2: Finding The Right Guest Blogging Opportunities Using Google The easiest way to find opportunities for Guest Blogging is through Google. Open up Google now and type: [Insert your niche] blogs intitle:write for us Using Virtual Assistant as an example, I would type Virtual Assistant blog intitle:"write for us" 
You can also use:
[insert niche] blog intitle:"submit" [insert niche] blog inurl:"write for us" [insert niche] blog inurl:"submit" Step 3: Know The Website Stats Before You Pitch Your Guest Blog We now come full circle to the little rant at the top of this post. You must know the stats of the website before you spend time writing for them. Pure traffic volume isn’t enough, and engagement is key. Right-click on each result so that all the websites are in separate tabs. Go to each one and do a spot check. This is like a 10 second “Do I want to appear here”. You can be SUPER SUPERFICIAL at this point. If you are going to appear on another website providing your expertise you want to make sure you appear somewhere that is respectable, and which you actually resonate with. I will delete any website that has poor design, copy mistakes, and poor imagery. This might bring your list of 10 down to a list of only 6 or 7 options. Open up another tab with this tool: https://www.similarweb.com/ Enter each website and press submit. Now you can see an estimate of their traffic and engagement stats. Here are two websites that came up when I searched for VA Blogging opportunities. 
Which website would you prefer to Guest Blog on?
I’m sure you said #2, right? You can see that #2 has an average visit duration of over 5 minutes, pages per visit of 4.33, and a very low bounce rate of 34%. Whilst number #1 has tons more traffic, their engagement stats just don’t compare. What is a guest blog service?
If you want to speed up the results from your guest blogging strategy the best way is through a guest blog service. This is an easy way to outsource the entire process to another company who specialises in this SEO tactic.
A guest blog service will: Advice on niches to pitch to Write the content Pitch your content Report on number of guest posts Report on quality of websites Report on links You can find guest blog services which start from $100 per month for one guest post and the pricing will change depending on: Number of guest posts Length of text Quality of website (DA) Another option is to use a guest blog freelancer, this is a digital marketing freelancer who specialises in delivering guest posts as a service. Guest blog freelancers charge anything from $15 - $60 per hour depending on their experience. You can find plenty of freelancers on Upwork, or get in touch with me via the contact form if you would like to enquire about my guest posting service at Ginger Marketing.

Hi Cheryl! FAB NAME by the way ;) Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Actually I have found success with both.... I have found the primary factor is the audience not just the niche. Working cross niche also means there are a wider number of quality websites to write for & your backlink profile will become varied and stronger because of it! Happy Guest Posting!! 14/7/2020 06:31:21
