Find Guest Blog Opportunities in Career Training in Less Than 5 Minutes (Step-by-Step Guide, 2019)
You read the title right! Today, we are going to discuss a quick growth hack to find your next guest blogging opportunity in less than 5 minutes.
Guest blogging has been rumored for some time now to be dead but, this is not the case.
Guest posting can have huge benefits to your business by incorporating search engine optimization into your marketing strategy by increasing your ranking in search results.
You can find major opportunities to gain significant traffic to your business by following these simple steps and incorporating them into your next marketing plan.
1. Search Strings
We are going to discuss two search strings that you can enter into google right now to find your next guest posting opportunity.
First go on google and enter the search string “submit your post”
This will get you a list of websites looking for guest posts that you can submit your content to.
The other search string you can use is “submit your blog”
This will give you a wide range of people who are looking for guest blog posts on their website.
Now for the juicier part!
Take the first or second search string we talked about earlier and search for “submit blog” AND “marketing” for example:
This will give you a huge resource of relevant websites to your niche whether it be career development, marketing, or business that are looking for guest bloggers.
This will potentially generate a huge amount of traffic back to your website depending on the authority of the website you guest blog on.
For example, HubSpot comes up in the search results for guest posting. This could be a great high authority website to guest post on.
2. Search Ranking
Side note! When you are conducting your market research and finding websites to post on, it is important to make sure that the guest website is relevant to your content.
Google’s ranking algorithm requires that the website you are receiving a link from must be of similar content in order to increase your search ranking.

It is not useful to just spam random guest posts on blogs all over the internet. If the host site has greater authority than your personal site, this will also provide a very valuable backlink to your website that will increase your search ranking.
3. Twitter Search Strings
This hack is not exclusive just to google search, you can also use this on twitter as well!
If you type in the same strings into twitter for example: “guest post” and “education”
you will be able to find hundreds of websites looking for guest posts.
You can also filter this even more by typing in “guest post” and “SEO” and you will find more websites relevant to your niche that are ready for your content!
