235 Free Guest Posting Sites For 2025 [Filtered by 28 Niches]

Guest posting means submitting content to external websites to gain backlinks, increase traffic, and position your brand as an expert. Many sites, like the ones listed below, welcome guest submissions.

When I first started with link building, one of the biggest challenges I faced was finding genuine guest posting sites. Most of the “guest post” lists online were either outdated, filled with low-quality sites, or riddled with paid placements pretending to be free. It was frustrating and time-consuming, and I knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why I created this comprehensive list of real free guest blogging websites. These are platforms where you can contribute valuable content, earn high-quality backlinks, and build your brand’s visibility.

In this post, you’ll find 235+ free guest posting sites for 2025, carefully compiled to help marketers, bloggers, and SEO professionals publish guest posts without paying a single penny.

Let’s jump into the details

Guest Posting Checklist for 2025

Here’s a 10-point checklist that will be really come in handy for you on how to write an effective guest post that goes viral in 2025 and beyond.

1) Use an Interesting Bio

Make sure the author bio that you use within your guest posts (mostly at the end of it) is interesting and stands out from the crowd. Also, link to any landing page where you can capture leads instead of linking to the home page.

2) Respond to the Comments

Once your guest post gets published on other sites, make sure to take time to read all the comments and respond to each one of them.

3) Thank the Blog Owner

Immediately after your guest post gets published, email the blog owner and send a thank-you note for publishing your guest post. Most people don’t do this, but this simple trick opens the doors and builds strong rapport with them.

4) Mention other Bloggers

If you’ve linked to other bloggers’ blog posts or contents from your guest posts, make sure to mention and tag them in your tweets or Facebook shares so they’ll know that you’re the one who’ve name-dropped them.

5) Use Your Best Stuff

One biggest mistake most people make while writing guest posts is that they don’t send their best stuff and often send crappy contents. There’s no point in doing that practice, as your intention should be to help others with your content, no matter where you write.

6) Edit like a Pro

If your guest post has grammatical mistakes, no one appreciates it, including the blog owner. So, read your entire guest post at least twice to remove unwanted words, and you can use tools like Grammarly to find and fix any typos.

7) Do it for relationships, not backlinks

Stop writing guest posts for links or traffic. Do it to build relationships with other bloggers and you’ll succeed!

8) Send your guest post in the right format

Most publishers and blog editors tell you how to format your posts in their guidelines, or email them to find out what formats work best for them.

9) Share it multiple times

Once your guest post goes live, make sure to tweet it, share on Facebook groups multiple times for a week. This helps you get some traction and additional traffic to your guest posts.

How to Write A Successful Guest Post that Drives Traffic?

Whether you are looking for the best guest posting sites in India or elsewhere, you need to write them well. 

While writing your guest posts, make sure to use the following smart writing tips, and you’ll have higher chances of getting your guest posts accepted on almost any website.

Here’s what the outline of Buffer looks like;

1) Picking the topic for your guest post is the key

The topic you choose for your guest post is what makes or breaks your guest posting success. 

– Think like a reader: 

Before writing your guest post, analyze the blog’s audience to determine what content resonates with them. Check the blog’s comments and social media profiles to understand their preferences.

– Do some quick research around the blog: 

You can go through the archive page or popular posts section of the blog where you want to guest post. That way, you can come up with some topic ideas where you can add some unique angle to get your guest posts accepted.

– Use platforms like Quora: 

You can use Quora to find popular and most trending questions around your niche to come up with topic ideas for your guest posts.

2) Do extensive research:

To write a guest post that goes viral online, you need to do extensive research. 

You can’t spend an hour from research to writing a guest post because that kind of content rarely gets any attention. 

3) Read guest post guidelines: 

Before writing a guest post for any website, you must know what kind of content they publish and what guest posting guidelines they follow. 

So make sure to go through the guest posting guidelines before you even pitch your guest posts to someone.

4) Connect with Blog Owner:

Before writing a guest post, it’s a good idea to personally connect with the blog owner. 

Ask them what specific elements they’d like to see in the guest post, such as statistics, visuals, infographics, or brand mentions. 

While guidelines pages usually provide general pointers, personal connection allows you to discuss detailed writing and content requirements.

Plus, this personal connection can help build a relationship and potentially lead to future collaborations.

5) Write In-Depth Guest Posts:

According to Backlinko, long-form content generates MORE backlinks.

The biggest mistake in guest posting is keeping your best articles for your own blog and sending poor-quality content as guest posts. 

Instead, publish your top content on blogs with larger audiences. This strategy brings more traffic, recognition, and credibility, which can help grow your own blog audience.

So start writing in-depth guest posts. 

We usually write 2000-word guest posts whenever we try to publish guest posts on other blogs. 

And that’s the reason why 9 out of 10 times, they get picked up by other sites and get some traffic and links to our own site.

6. Optimize for search engines:

Come up with at least one primary keyword for your guest post and include it in the content.

When it comes to optimizing for search engines, title tags play a crucial role so take extra time to craft them nicely and also make sure to include a primary keyword within your title tag to get an extra boost from search engines.

Make sure to avoid “stop words” within your title tags as they are always truncated and not given importance by search engine crawlers.

Quick note: Don’t EVER stuff keywords as you write, just create your content as you would normally and optimize later while writing your guest posts.

7. Namedrop other bloggers

The best way to succeed as a guest blogger and find more guest posting opportunities is to name drop other bloggers within your guest posts content. 

You can include other bloggers’ best content within your guest posts or simply take others’ names to appreciate their work.

Make sure to also email them personally once your guest posts go live so either they will appreciate or promote your guest posts. Or they might even give you a chance to publish your guest posts in the future. In any case, it’s a win/win approach that gives you a solid foundation.

Here’s what it looks like;

Guest post pitching is a skill

Here’s an example of an email that Leo Widrich, the co-founder of Buffer, used when pitching editors from big sites like Forbes, Inc and so on

If you look at the above email pitch b Leo, you’ll notice that it’s short and sweet so make sure to write guest posting pitches that are really short and fast to consume (because no one has time to read long and boring emails pitches).

Also, make sure to add references or your previous guest posting links (or your own blog post links) so the blog owners get an idea about your writing style, which plays a big role when accepting your guest posts.

Here are a few do’s and don’ts of guest blogging.

Do’s of guest posting:

• Do follow the guidelines of each blogger to increase the chances of your guest post being accepted on their blog

• Do write your guest posts in a friendly tone instead of using a generic or corporate tone. Practice writing daily and you’ll get better at it.

• Don’t ignore promoting or responding to the comments you receive on your guest posts. It helps you connect with other bloggers which goes a long way.

• Don’t send duplicate or guest post with bad English. You should proofread your guest post before sending
