You need to understand who you are writing to and write in a way that connects with people’s minds and hearts.
Here are tips to help you start guest blogging.

You will achieve higher success if you focus on one topic or industry. Then, find out the top websites in your industry and start thinking about blog ideas to share with readers.

How you became successful
Sharing your perspective on trending news

Once you figure out your niche and how you can share your message, you can start contacting editors.
Guest Blogging Email Strategy
When you reach out to editors, keep in mind that your message has to be on how you will add value to readers. You never want to sound entitled to getting a “Yes” from an editor. At the same time, you want to include the these points in your email:
A short bio about an experience related to your topic
A list of different blog titles you want to write
Writing samples (I.e., articles, LinkedIn blogs)
Your emails to editors should focus more on how you can add value to readers and writing samples of your blogs for the editor can read.
It can take weeks or months for editors to accept you as a guest blogger. Remember to be respectful if you are rejected and think about the feedback an editor shares to improve.
Final Thoughts
