Starting With Guest Posting Sites

For the sake of this list, we’re going to be focusing on websites that have high domain authority. This is a score that determines how well a site is going to rank in search engines.

Don’t feel that just because you may be just starting out, that you’re not able to get your content on some of the bigger names on this list. Our guide on How To Get A Guest Post Anywhere, covers, from top to bottom, the type of queries and contents that will have guest posting sites wanting to feature you and your posts.

Supporting Your Guest Blogging

This list is a great starting point, but if you are looking to get into a more specific niche, you may need to go the extra mile to find appropriate guest posting sites. One person who has a unique perspective on this is Tony Newton, CEO of Scalefluence.com, a data driven influence marketplace launching in the fall of 2018. As he explains, if you want to use tools to seek out guest posts, you don’t want to limit yourself.

“Many of these tools come with their own bugs. Other than Buzzsumo, I haven’t used one yet that I “can’t live without”.  Neil Patel has a good basic overview of the most popular tools available in outreach. The caveat here is that you should really get demos from all of them before deciding to use any single one,” he explains. In addition, you can try to work with an outreach agency to get guest posts or try searching for appropriate options yourself. Generally, your size and resources will determine what makes the most sense.
