Don’t you want results like that?

Of course, you do.

That’s why I’ve put together a list of websites that accept guest posts, so you can begin skyrocketing your SEO.

Let’s dive in!

Business guest post websites

These are business websites that accept guest posts. Pitch them if you’re interested in becoming well-known in this space.

Business Insider

115 million people read Business Insider every month. Imagine the reach you would have if you got the opportunity to write for them!

It’s not uncommon for freelancers to write for publications like these and have streams of clients coming in over time.

That’s why I’d also recommend reading my article on the best five freelance websites to earn big cash.

Business Insider contributors are typically an expert on a single subject or more related to entrepreneurship, investing, venture capitalism, writing, technology, and other topics you can read about here.

Fast Company

Fast Company is interested in having you contribute to their Leadership section. The content needs to have the correct tone and be written by an individual, not an agency.

Additionally, the topic should appeal to the Leadership category readers and introduce fresh ideas that haven’t been spoken about already. However, they do enjoy it when writers advance prior conversations and subjects with a new twist.

Avoid self-promotion as much as possible since Fast Company doesn’t like it, and you will lower your odds of getting published. This also applies to vague content and articles that can’t be backed up.

Articles must be 600-900 words long and must be sent in complete format to the Assistant Editor Anisa Purbasari Horton. They aren’t looking for pitches or tossing around ideas — only completed posts.

Harvard Business Review

Harvard Business Review is trying to change business management as we know it. Their goal is to help institutions run more effectively, make better decisions, and become more productive.

That’s why they publish content that ultimately helps the reader become more creative, intelligent, and happier. These are some things to keep in mind when pitching them for a guest post.

In terms of topics, they publish everything along the lines of:

  • Strategy
  • Leadership
  • Negotiations
  • Operations
  • Innovations
  • Management
  • Work-life balance
  • Marketing
  • Finance

The five main things they look for in a guest post submission are expertise, evidence, originality, usefulness, and persuasiveness.

Create an account on their submission manager page to begin the pitching process.

ShoutMeLoud

Interesting in guest posting on an award-winning digital marketing blog? ShoutMeLoud has had over 735 bloggers contribute to their guest posting website, and over 978,000 readers subscribe to them.

ShoutMeLoud is built on community, so they look for topics that will reach a large audience.

If this sounds up your alley, then give ShoutMeLoud’s blog a quick read to understand what topics they touch on and how they write. Quality over quantity is a big focus for them.

They look for writers who blog themselves and are active within the community. Subjects they commonly publish are:

  1. WordPress tutorials
  2. Content marketing
  3. SEO
  4. Email marketing
  5. Managing teams and companies
  6. Growing a podcast
  7. Social media marketing

Articles can be no shorter than 2,000 words. While this might seem like quite a bit, long-form content packs tons of value and helps readers more than shorter pieces.

You must give credit to the images you use, and they ask that you use images, videos, screenshots, and other visuals to make content detailed.

While you will get an author profile by contributing to ShoutMeLoud, they aren’t interested in overly self-promoting content, which means avoiding backlinking to your site within articles.

Learn more about their contribution guidelines.

Since ShoutMeLoud requires you to be an excellent content writer, you should check out these previous articles of mine to improve your skills before contributing:
