Finding the Right Guest Blogging Opportunities

Here’re important things to keep in mind when finding the right guest post opportunities:

When looking for blogs to guest post, your main goal is to find relevant sites-with relevant audience to your industry.

You’re looking for blogs that fit into any of the criteria below:

• The audience of the blog is interest in your blog topic
• They’re passionate about it
• They have readership
• They’re active and responsive
• The blog owner is active on social media (Facebook and Twitter).

That means, if you are selling shoes, you will want to find ecommerce stores and blogs with an engaged audience of people who’re interested in fashion. Shoes. And other accessories.

• Try Google Search

Google is a great place to start. Google can provide any information and will help in your search for guest blogging opportunities

Without further ado, use any of the following keyword searches to find sites that accept guest posts:

Keyword ‘’guest bloggers

Keyword ‘’submit a guest post

Keyword ‘’we are accepting authors

Keyword ‘’we are accepting guest bloggers’

These searches should lead to a guest post submission page or actual guest post of other guest bloggers.
