What is Guest post?

So in a guest post, a website admin has a good website that is ranked on Google search and has a great amount of audience. So on the other side, there is a website that is not ranking so the admin of that website if he wants to rank his website on Google search so he/she will write an article or a blog post but not for his website for that website which is already ranked on Google search and having a good amount of daily visitors. Then if you want to rank your website and get traffic, so the blog post that you have written you will send it to that website admin and he or she can add one link of your website to that blog on a specific keyword and create a backlink. So every time a visitor reads that blog and when he will see that Link which is called a backlink if that is a Do-follow link then it will redirect that visitor to your website. That is called a Guest post or guest posting or some people say it is link-building.

What are backlinks?

A backlink is a link that redirects you to a new page. It can be your website or someone else's website or sometimes bloggers create a backlink to their previous blog and attach that link to a new blog post. So with the help of backlinks, they get more ranking in searches and visitors read old blog posts. That should be relevant to the new blog post.

What are Do-follow links and No-follow links?

Backlinks are of two types: 

1. Do-follow 

Do-follow means to select a keyword and put a backlink on that keyword you will create a hyperlink which will be a Do-follow link so anytime a person clicks on that hyperlink that person will be redirected and that is called a Do-follow backlink.

2. No-follow

A no-follow link is just the same process but by clicking on it you will not redirect anywhere that backlink will just be as a hyperlink only.

Now, why would anyone add a No-follow link?

The answer is SEO. Even a No-follow hyperlink for a website that has a guest post and a No-follow link is also considered good for link building and somewhere it makes good ranking even for websites that are low in ranking on Google search.

How would I know that my Guest post has a Do-follow or No-follow link?

The answer is the admin of the website when the admin or author will get in touch with you for guest posting admin will tell you how many Do-follow links you will get it can be 1,2, or sometimes 3, but if you will still add more link so the admin could make it a No-follow link. But many times admin asks you to add No-follow and Do-follow links both by yourself according to you.

What benefits of having a Guest post?

For a website with a high ranking:

Ranking on Google search, many website admin charges for each guest post and make money with guest posting along with link-building and SEO.

For a website with a low ranking:

Traffic and more visitors from Google search according to your niche, for better SEO and ranking on Google search.

How to find guest posting websites?

Normally you search with keywords in Google search like:

1. "Keyword" "write for us"
2. "Guest posting" "keyword"
3. Guest post + keyword
4. "Keyword" + write for us"
5. Keyword" "guest posting"

The keyword is used for finding out those websites which have the same niche as you

For example tech, health, finance, and business are some of its examples.

Now once you have websites that are the same as your niche then go to their websites, contact us, or sometimes 

about us page, and get their email address and contact them for a guest posting opportunity.

So they will email you about what kind of guest posts they allow and what are their requirements only a few website admins will allow you a guest post for free but the majority of website admins will charge for guest posts and each backlink.

But the admin will agree to the guest posting because it's better for their website SEO and ranking and if you think that price will be very high so it's up to you, you can bargain about guest post price by making your

Guest post-SEO-friendly so then you can tell website admin about your guest post is best for SEO and then admin can adjust and tell you the last price for guest post and backlink.

If the admin's price is high then just find another website because guest posting is a thing that every website owner needs to be ranked in Google.

So you can easily find another website, send them an email if their price matches your budget then just read what kind of guest post they accept and their requirements you first read that and then send them your guest post after clearing their payment then the admin will post your guest post on their website in which you will get better SEO, ranking on Google and traffic.

How do you earn money from Guest posting?

As an individual, you can earn a lot of money from it just by following these steps.

• Find a website that allows guest posts.
• Create an excel spreadsheet and collect all website's domain and emails.
• Check their SEO or DA/PA and monthly visitors with the help of Moz or ahref tools you can make this work. Just paste the website domain on Moz so you will get da pa and spam score, just remember da/pa should be high and spam score should be low. You can use the free version at the start, then you can use paid version it's on you. Tip, the paid version of ahref is better than Moz. So you can get websites da/pa and spam scores in one day.
• Then Put everything on a spreadsheet for example Website, email, niche, Da, Pa, spam score, traffic, the day when you reached out to them for a guest posting opportunity, the day they reply, budget, and the deal is done (agreed to guest posting) put these on spreadsheet and data that you find about these websites.
• Collect more than 1000 websites and enter their data but don't email them now.
• After collecting enough emails and good-ranking websites.
• Sell this service which is called guest posting on freelancing platforms and on social media platforms that you have a good website for guest posting.
• They will hire you and you can get paid.

So when a client gives you an order then you email a website that the client demands and ask them if you have an article for guest posting, and they will reply to you back. When the admin will reply you first they will tell you their price per guest post and backlinks, Now if you think the price of the website admin has given according to you (not so high price) and you don't need to bargain, then you will lock that deal and tell the admin that you are ok with this price. Then the admin will demand that article so you just take the article from your client with backlinks on it and send them to the admin of the website when the admin post that guest post on his website you ask for that Link and gave it to your client. When you give your client that link he or she will pay you your amount then you can pay the admin the price of their guest post.

If you think this is very easy work and you can make good money. That's it. Try then.

Tip, If the website admin charge 10$ then you aks 20$ or 15$ dollars from your client because the effort of reaching the website admins and everything is yours.

Bonus

If you can write articles then you could get more money by charging a client that you will also write guest posts by yourself and do keyword research with this you could get more money.
