There’s a big difference between knowing guest posting is a good idea and being able to implement guest blogging as part of your digital strategy.

                                                                               

Maybe you have a mental list of “reach” sites you’d love to guest blog for, but you don’t know how to make it happen. Or maybe you’re just not sure which sites are worth your time.

 

That’s why I’ve created this guest post site list for some of the best guest posting and blogging sites for marketers. There are hundreds of sites that you could target, but I’ve only included some of the best ones here.

 

It’s not a no-brainer getting published on these sites by any means. It takes a lot of work and determination. But if you are producing great work and approaching the right sites with it, you should have a great chance.

 

(And by the way, here is a guide to guest blogging and reverse engineering your SEO strategy as you do it.)

 

1. Copyblogger

Copyblogger is a go-to source for online content marketing education. A huge part of their mission is keeping everything on their site and blog practical, relevant, and written well.

 

Of course, your writing has to meet and exceed these standards for them to want to post it on their site.

 

2. CMO

If you’re into digital marketing, then there’s a great chance that you know a thing or two about marketing in general.

 

In that case, why not write for CMO magazine?

 

CMO offers insights into the online marketing world not only for executives but also for managers and team members so they can “deliver standout experiences in a digital world.”

 

Additionally, it’s one of the best sites for guest posting where you can appeal to people in your own niche. This means that you could generate solid leads and boost traffic to your own website.

 

The website’s content includes interviews, how-to guides, advice from industry leaders, and valuable research. If you believe that you have something to contribute that falls into any of these categories, why not give CMO a shot?

 

3. Social Media Examiner

Social Media Examiner is picky with guest posts, and why not?

 

They only produce thoroughly researched, detailed work that is written well, and they don’t intend to have guest posts diluting this reputation they now enjoy.

 

So if you do submit here, be patient and understand that if you’re not well known to them you’ll need to prove your writing abilities and subject matter expertise.

 

4. Business Insider

Business Insider covers a lot of different topics including technology and entrepreneurship.

 

They have also cultivated a reputation for being a reliable resource that people from all industries can turn to for advice.

 

Make sure that you can offer expert-level advice before trying to submit here.

 

5. Design Milk

Does your business model have anything to do with art? If so, then consider contributing to Design Milk.

 

Design Milk is a website dedicated to modern design. It’s not confined to interior decorating, though. It also covers architecture, fashion, travel, and even technology. When you visit their site, you can tell instantly from their modern art-inspired layout that they are a great site to be featured on.

 

The website itself has been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle and The Los Angeles Times. It’s also on Twitter’s “Who to Follow” list of influencers in Art and Design.

 

6. Inc.com

7. Smashing Magazine

Submit a guest blog to Smashing Magazine

 

Smashing Magazine is focused on web development and design, and it looks for guest blog posts that are full of useful ideas, techniques, and tips for readers.

 

Be sure to include actionable insights and practical examples to illustrate your points.

 

It’s also a great idea to share your stories about mistakes, and things that you’ve learned over time that would have helped you earlier on. Cite support for your arguments and avoid superlatives and over the top language to fit in with Smashing Magazine’s style.

 

8. TechCrunch

TechCrunch is another excellent option when it comes to guest blogging.

 

Keep in mind, that TechCrunch pieces usually at least touch upon investment and finance. The publication does seek out guest posts and they describe what they want and their monthly themes in the “Got a tip” section of their site.

 

You can either pitch a single story or try to become a regular contributor. Realize that one successful pitch and post is probably the easiest way to become a regular contributor, so if that’s your end goal you may be smart to try one post first.

 

Give them a taste of something wonderful, and it’s likely they’ll want you to continue writing for them.

 

9. MarketingProfs

MarketingProfs is specifically created for people who work in marketing, so you need to have a lot of insight into this space to succeed with a guest post.

 

This site accepts both opinion pieces and “how-to” articles and even runs research summaries that distill the most important points from polls, studies, and surveys for readers to quickly consume them. As with mosts sites of this sort, a focus on specific tools, tips, and practical takeaways is ideal.

Wrapping Up

It is extremely competitive now, and rightfully so; no one wants to take risks on material from guest posters that can hurt their page’s SEO.

 

However, if you take the time to create your best work and share it in the right places, you have everything to gain by guest blogging and the symbiotic partnerships you’ll be forging with other influencers in your industry.
