Let's understand 'Where to', before going 'How to' aspect of Guest Posting.
Where to Guest Post?
Certainly, every author and the brands are trying to post their articles on highly popular blogs like INC, Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, HuffingtonPost, Vulture, Business Insider, The New York Post, Washington post, Fortune Magazine, Mashable, The Wall Street Journal, Search Enginer Journal, The Guardian, , BuzzFeed, Life Hacker, ContentlyBBC, and many other blogs whose one backlink can make a revolutionary impact on the business profile. The original question was where to post as a guest author to make it helpful for SEO.
One of the exciting thing about guest posting is that it should be done on a reputed brand as per the Google. You can't submit guest posts on blogs whose Alexa Rank is above 5 lakh or whose authority in social media is almost negligible. Our main focus on the guest post is to showcase our website through their blog page. The brands which have alexa rank 0-50k are tough to reach, but the blogs with 50k-100k are easy to reach. Though, both the categories are to be approached simultaneously.
'The Descending approach of Guest Posting' can be applied effectively here. That means Forbes will not approve your profile and article if the brand or the author is not e-visible on Google so you should start if from the last and make your profile/brand stronger and popular. The more articles your brand is featuring on various other blogs, the more redirection your backlinks will get. This will be very remedial and beneficial for SEO purpose.
The good thing about this approach is that you can put your brand website out of the article and sometimes inside too. Your profile will have a URL of your own company’s website, but sometimes you can insert your brand website or article posted in your blog into the Guest Posting article. Well, only if it's approved, then, it’s a bonus.
How to Guest Post?
As it is already stated, it may not possible to go for the above listed high authority sites directly but for doing that magically, it is necessary to go up step by step. Just as I had any profile but then I guest posted on Business2Community, Tech.co; this gave me a chance to do a guest post on business.com, inc42.com, and e27. This all profile became the bases when I tried on Entrepreneur.com. And eventually, to sum it up, I made a gentle approach to HuffingtonPost as till then, I have had a reputable profile on Google. My own company website has now has the lawful emblem to be broadcasted globally.
