Top 68 Marketing Blogs That Accept Guest Posts

There won’t be any beating around the bush in this article! You’re here to get a list of the top online marketing blogs that accept guest posts and that’s exactly what we’re going to give you.

What’s what

A couple of things worth pointing out before we begin:

• This list includes both popular blogs as well as highly respected brand sites that run blogs as part of their online presence.
• Even though not every one of those blogs claims to be a marketing blog, there are marketing-related articles found on all of them.
• Each entry comes with a handful of metrics to help you decide whether it’s worth pursuing a publication on a given blog or not.
• Each entry also comes with my own thoughts and tips on how to get your foot in the door and eventually, your article published.

If you are interested in expert guest blogging service make sure to get in touch!

Top marketing blogs to guest post on

(Blogs higher up the list are generally more valuable as a guest posting venue than those near the bottom, but don’t take this too literally; pick the blogs that are best suited for YOU and your needs.)

I’m including this site because it’s THE top online marketing site out there. Initially devoted to copywriting, it now features a wide range of content marketing topics. Getting in with a guest post is more than hard, to be honest. These days, it’s per invitation only, or you have to know someone who’s already had the opportunity to guest post there and ask them for an introduction. Therefore, the best place to start is to browse through the author list: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://www.copyblogger.com/author/.

KillerStartups is the main “startup blog” on the web. Now, since the word “startup” doesn’t convey the site’s mission entirely, let me explain what it means in practice. They simply publish a wide variety of articles that business owners can benefit from. And there are over 34,000 subpages related to marketing on this site.

To get started, first, go to http://www.killerstartups.com/guest-posts/. Then, write your article and email it to news [at] killerstartups.com. KillerStartups works similarly to a traditional publishing magazine, which means that you need to be sending many pitches regularly for them to eventually pick one of them up. As long as you’re persistent, you will get published. Once that happens, you’ll also get a precise publication date so you’ll be able to promote your article.
