Mass guest posting networks are long discredited, but a genuinely well-placed guest post on a relevant, real publication still earns valuable exposure and links.
Prioritize Fit Over Volume
One relevant, well-read publication is worth more than a dozen low-quality sites that exist mainly to sell links.
Pitch a Specific Angle
A generic offer to "write a post" gets ignored; a specific, well-researched pitch tailored to that publication's audience gets a response.
Write It as Well as Your Own Content
A guest post that's clearly lower effort than your own site's content reflects poorly on you and rarely earns a repeat opportunity.
