The Best Guest Posting Sites for Digital Marketing

 

 

Guest posting on other blogs can be a very valuable strategy to build your own online presence, but it can also be time-consuming and frustrating if you’re not getting the results you want from it. To help you weed out the low-quality opportunities, we’ve compiled this list of the best guest posting sites in digital marketing to give you plenty of options.

1) MyBlogGuest

MyBlogGuest is one of my favorite guest posting sites. They focus specifically on digital marketing, which makes it easy to find a variety of relevant posts. There are plenty of well-known bloggers on MyBlogGuest, but one of my favorite things about it is that it’s not just big names who use their service. They have regular people as well, so it gives those with small blogs an opportunity to share and learn from other industry leaders. It’s free to sign up and post articles here and you can do so at any time throughout the year. I suggest jumping in immediately because they have new topics posted every month. If you wait too long to get started, you might end up overwhelmed by all of their choices!

2) Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is one of those rare professions that anyone can do, provided they’re willing to learn their craft and put in some time. In fact, some of today’s most successful bloggers got their start writing short freelance pieces for blogs. Nowadays, there are tons of websites that pay writers per post and will let you pick your own topics—so if you have a knack for expressing yourself online, freelancing might be a good side hustle to consider.

3) Easily

Guest posting is an effective strategy, but it requires some extra effort and coordination with a web host. Finding the right site to guest post on can be tricky, but there are some great sites out there that can help make your life easier when it comes to finding a host. There are even some tools you can use to write and submit your own posts on these sites more quickly. Here’s a look at our favorite guest posting sites and resources: Aweber: Aweber offers guest bloggers easy access to their platform so they can reach new audiences without any headaches or long-term commitments. In order to take advantage of their service, you'll need your own email list or an account on MailChimp or Constant Contact.

4) Contently

Contently is a platform that connects brands with talented freelance writers. The two major selling points of Contently are: 1) Brands can post writing jobs on their site and 2) Freelance writers can apply to those jobs. To apply, you just need a portfolio of published work so you don’t have to submit an essay explaining why you should be hired. Another cool feature? You can build your own portfolio right on their website and choose which samples to display (hint: choose only your best stuff). Right now, they have three main markets: content marketing, tech & science writing, and branding. They pay freelancers $1 per word for all submissions and pay between $100-$150/article depending on length/difficulty.

5) Ghostwriting

Over time, you may be invited to write on behalf of an actual brand or business. In many cases, these posts will have to meet certain guidelines set by a brand’s marketing team, so ghostwriting posts is a good idea. Ghostwriting allows you to publish content on behalf of a company that couldn’t otherwise be published. However, you should always ask permission from your employers before writing something in their name.
