Tips for Writing Guest Articles

When companies, businesses, or thought leaders want to connect with their audience and step up their marketing game, one of the best ways to do this is to write special pieces. Guest pieces are a way to show that you are an expert in a certain field, give your customers practical and useful content, and, in the end, get paid clients or customers into your sales process.

So, how do you start writing guest posts? There are many ways to do well as a guest writer, but here are a few tips on how to learn the art of guest writing.

The perfect pitch is the first step

You will need to pitch the idea of your guest piece to writers and publications before they will be interested in your brand or business. A simple Google search of "subject or keyword + contributor" can help you find a lot of resources that are related to what your business offers. For example, if you own an organic skincare business, you could Google "organic skin care + contributor" to find places that have written about organic skin care or health in the past.

By writing a well-written pitch about your area of knowledge and giving it to your target outlet(s), you can get invited to write guest pieces that educate, entertain, or bring people to your site and services. You want your pitch to keep the reader's attention and show how good of a writer you are. Even if you don't think you're the best writer, you can still write good guest pieces and do the job.

The tone of your pitch should be businesslike and friendly. Find out what kind of pieces your target outlet usually publishes, what their style and tone are like, and what their rules are for entries.

You don't want to waste your time sending pitches to places that don't write about your services or products. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for the source to accept your pitch.

Getting your content just right

When you send a pitch to a publication, you should already know what you want to say in your piece. The topic you choose should have something to do with the products or services you offer.

Once your pitch is accepted, you will have to write your piece. The outlet should give you some guidelines for how to structure your piece, which should help, especially if you are new to writing articles. Most of the time, they will tell you how long the piece should be, how to break it up into parts, and what information, keywords, or backlinks they want in it. Outlets should also tell you if they want you to promote their products or not.

Focus on making your content interesting above all else. You want to write something that people will want to read and then share. Your main goal is to get people to interact with you and spread the word about you, so giving them good information is a step in the right direction.

Make sure that any claims you make are backed up by the right sources and that any words you use are properly mentioned. Even though it should go without saying, you should never copy someone else's work in your guest piece. Many places will want to be sure that the content they post is theirs and theirs alone, so you won't be able to just send them an article you've already written and be done with it.

SEO and keywords

One of the main reasons why publications want special works is that they help with their SEO. At first, it can be hard to figure out how to use the most relevant and highest-ranked keywords and backlinks for SEO, but once you know how to use them best, they can be very useful for marketing. Also, many places will give you advice on terms and backlinks to help with SEO.

Even if you don't mention your brand by name, cleverly using keywords and backlinks can still help your business or position as a subject matter expert, even on sites that don't like too much advertising. Having your name as a byline and a bio that says who you are and where you're from are both great ways to get people to visit your business.

Content that can be used

Most media sites want the information they put out to be helpful and doable for their audience. They want people who are interested and will share content and, depending on the topic, possibly help that content go viral.

Even though you can't be sure that every pitch you send will be accepted, once one is, you'll see how great it is to have your voice heard in a publication related to your field. If you work hard to make content that is interesting, useful, and easy to share, you will get more customers and make more money for your business.
