Let’s be honest — tech isn’t just “booming” anymore. It’s everywhere. Whether it’s AI helping automate customer support or cloud systems powering remote teams, technology quietly runs the world behind the scenes. And if you’ve got thoughts, experience, or even a strong opinion on how it’s all evolving, guest blogging can be a pretty solid way to get those ideas in front of more people.
What Exactly Is Guest Blogging?
In the simplest terms, guest blogging is when you write for someone else’s website. That’s it. But let’s not pretend it’s only about putting words on a page.
It’s more about sharing your insights with a community that may never have come across your work otherwise. For freelancers, tech enthusiasts, marketers, or even full-time devs — it’s an underrated way to build trust, boost your visibility, and maybe open up opportunities you didn’t even expect.
I’ve personally worked with small startups and mid-size agencies where a single guest post kicked off real business convos — like client leads, LinkedIn DMs, and in some cases, partnerships that lasted over a year. So yeah, it’s not just fluff. It works.
Why Bother Guest Blogging?
Here’s the thing — it’s not a shortcut to fame. But it is an authentic, long-game strategy that builds results over time. Here’s what you actually get out of it:
- Reach people outside your circle: You don’t have to build your own blog from zero. You tap into an audience that’s already paying attention.
- Drive some real traffic: If people like what you wrote and you’ve smartly included a link or two, they’ll often check out your site.
- Boost your SEO: Backlinks from solid, trusted websites are still gold. A well-placed guest article helps build domain authority and search engine visibility.
- Get actual feedback: If your piece sparks conversation in the comments or on socials, great — that’s data. Use it to understand your audience better.
- Position yourself as a trusted voice: Publish a few strong pieces across different sites, and people start recognizing your name. That’s credibility.
- It sticks around: Unlike ads that vanish when your budget dries up, a good guest post keeps bringing in value long after it’s published.
Writing Posts That Editors Actually Say Yes To
Alright — let’s be real. It’s not enough to write well. Editors are drowning in mediocre pitches, so standing out takes a little more effort.
Here’s what’s worked for me (and what I’ve seen others do that gets real results):
1. Don’t Pitch Just One Blog
This one’s basic. If you only reach out to one site and wait for them to reply, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Make a list of 5–10 solid blogs in your niche and contact all of them. More reach, more chances.
2. Ditch the Lazy Pitches
I’ve seen too many “Hi, I want to write for you” emails that get ignored. Instead, write something like, “I’ve been following your site for a while and have three article ideas that might resonate with your readers.” Then share those ideas clearly. Make it personal — show you care.
3. Stick to the Blog’s Core Topic
If a site focuses on AI, don’t send them a piece about TikTok hacks or finance tools unless you really know how to tie it back to their main theme. Editors will just skip it.
4. Read Before You Write
You’d be surprised how many people submit without ever reading a single article from the blog. Go through a few posts. Get a feel for tone, style, and structure. Don’t copy — just match the vibe.
5. Write From Experience
This is the one most people skip, but it’s honestly the most important. Don’t try to fake your way through a tech topic you barely understand. Readers notice. Instead, write what you actually know — even if it’s something small. Real insight > recycled content.
6. Be Clear, Not Wordy
Please don’t write a novel. Editors don’t want 3,000 words unless they’ve asked for it. Aim for clarity, not length. Around 800–1,200 words usually hits the sweet spot.
7. Respect Submission Guidelines
Every blog has its own rules. If they ask for Google Docs only, don’t send a PDF. If they limit links to two, don’t sneak in five. These little things matter.
8. Clean It Up Before You Send
You don’t have to be a grammar nerd, but at least run a spell check and read it out loud once. Fix any weird phrasing or typos. You want the editor to focus on what you’re saying — not your mistakes.
