List of Best Guest Blogging Sites (140+ Best Sites 2014) - Guest Blogging Resources

Guest blogging let’s you reach a huge audience immediately. Guest blogging can be an extremely consistent and fast way to build your email list and relationships with the people in your market.

 

Sure, you need to get several things right to get 100+ subscribers from each guest post you write.

But the first step is to find a site that accepts guest posts. You might have some ideas of sites where you could write, but hopefully you get a few more ideas from this list of guest blogging sites.

This isn’t even trying to be a complete list of sites that accept guest posts. Rather, it’s aiming to be a high-quality list; these are some of the best guest blogging sites you can target.

However, I’m sure I’ve forgotten many.

The sites are categorized to some degree, but they’re not in any particular order within the categories.

The first category is the only one I really know. The other categories aren’t as well curated, so tell me if you spot something weird.

I’ll update the list every now and then. If there’s a site you think I should add to the list (or something I should remove from it), let me know in the comments. Thank you.

Marketing / Business / Blogging / Social Media

Marketing sites, that accept guest posts.
KISSmetrics – Write for them

I write for KISSmetrics quite regularly. If you go for it, prepare to go through a round or two of editing, and whatever you do, don’t forget to use real examples to illustrate your points. Self-promotion is an absolute no-no, so don’t even try.

Traffic Generation Café – Write for them


I’ve written for Traffic Generation Café a few times. Quality-standards are high: if your post isn’t really actionable for the audience, it doesn’t stand a chance to get published.

 
Think Traffic – Write for them

Think Traffic does accept guest posts, but based on what I understood, they invite all the guest authors. You can try to contact them and ask, but don’t spend time writing a post before you’ve checked that they’re interested to even look at it.

Firepole Marketing – Write for them

I have a monthly guest post feature in Firepole Marketing. They have a big, engaged audience, so you can get a lot of interaction in the comments. If you write a valuable post and you’re not in a rush to get it published, it’s well worth the effort to write for them.

Copyblogger – Write for them

Don’t hold me accountable for this, but I’ve understood that they’re focusing on using their in-house writers and their long-time guest authors. So, even with an introduction, it’s very difficult to get them to even read your post. And unsolicited posts don’t stand a chance.

Mashable – Submit news
Mashable is technically a news site. Keep that in mind when you approach them.


MarketingProfs – Write for them

MarketingProfs is a marketing site for marketing professionals. You need to have something special to share for marketing pros to get there.

Men with Pens – Write for them

They’re picky. Really picky. And that’s what makes the site so good. But if you’re not sure you can write something really good, you can probably spend your time more wisely.

Social Media Examiner – Write for them

Social Media Examiner is possibly the top site for social media stuff. And they’re equally picky as they are high quality.

Moz – Write for them

Previously SEOmoz. I think they’re the biggest SEO-related site (after Google’s sites), so if that’s your target market, you should definitely write a guest post for them.

Duct Tape Marketing – Write for them

I’ve only written one guest post for Duct Tape Marketing. They post one guest post every week, so the competition is a bit tough (put your best foot forward). And they have a topic calendar for the blog for months in advance, so ask for that before you suggest topics.

I’ve once submitted a guest post to Daily Blog Tips. The reply was the most unprofessional I’ve ever come across. And that’s saying something when I’m comparing it to everything I’ve seen online.

What should I add/remove?

This list is far from complete. And because my expertise is mostly limited to the business category, I can never complete it without your help.
