Ask HN: I write ok and I need backlinks for my website. Tips on guest articles?

3 points by anonfounder747 3y ago ↗ HN

I have my own blog and have written about 30-40 articles with about 1000 views per month. I would like to use my writing skills to improve SEO for my website through backlinks.

I am open to writing guest articles for other websites and earn backlinks to my website.

* Are blogs or company websites receptive to guest authors or do they only use staff writers?

* How do I find websites or blogs where I can contribute as a guest author?

* Any tips on how to pitch to blogs or websites?

Please share if you have any tips on this subject.

There are lists of sites that accept guest posts from anyone - user beware.

Your best bet is to network with target website owners directly then ask.

There is a lot of spam in this space so many website owners will ignore shit.

Got it, thank you. Will tread carefully.

If there is a movie you found to have a personally meaningful message or life lesson you can be a Guest Writer on "moviewise: Life Lessons From Movies."

Many of the writers share their newsletters/blogs as part of their bios.

Here are all the published Guest Posts so you can see what that can look like: https://moviewise.substack.com/s/-guest-posts
