Here are some good guest post sites for niche editorial content, plus a simple way to find more without wasting time on low-quality sites.

What to look for

For “niche editorial content,” prioritize sites that have:

  • Real readership in your niche
  • Editorial review or contributor guidelines
  • Topical relevance to your subject
  • Do-follow or at least brand-building exposure
  • Recent, active publishing
  • No obvious spammy guest-post farm behavior

Places to find guest post opportunities

1. Niche blogs and online magazines

Search for sites in your industry that accept contributors.

Use queries like:

  • "[your niche] + write for us"
  • "[your niche] + guest post"
  • "[your niche] + contributor guidelines"
  • "[your niche] + submit an article"

Examples by category:

  • Marketing/SEO: Search Engine Journal, HubSpot blog, Convince & Convert, Search Engine Land
  • Tech/SaaS: DZone, HackerNoon, Dev.to, Smashing Magazine
  • Finance: FinanceBuzz, Investopedia contributor opportunities, The Balance contributors
  • Health/wellness: Healthline contributor pages, mindbodygreen, Verywell contributor guidelines
  • Home/design: Houzz-related publications, Apartment Therapy contributor opportunities, The Spruce

2. Industry newsletters and community publications

Many niche editorial sites publish contributor pitches from experts:

  • Substack newsletters with guest essays
  • Trade publications
  • Association blogs
  • Chamber of commerce blogs
  • Local industry magazines

3. Content platforms with editorial standards

These can work well if you want authority and visibility:

  • Medium publications
  • LinkedIn Articles
  • HackerNoon
  • Vocal
  • Dev.to
  • Substack guest essays via collaborations

Better search operators

To find quality sites fast, search:

  • intitle:"write for us" + [keyword]
  • intitle:"contributor guidelines" + [keyword]
  • intitle:"submit a guest post" + [keyword]
  • site:.edu [keyword] "guest post"
  • site:.org [keyword] "contributor"

How to vet a site

Before pitching, check:

  • Are articles edited and well-written?
  • Do they publish original content or reposted spam?
  • Is the audience active?
  • Does the site have traffic or social engagement?
  • Are outbound links limited and relevant?
  • Does the site match your niche closely?

Avoid

  • Sites with “pay for post” spam
  • Link farms
  • Irrelevant general blogs
  • Pages full of thin content
  • Over-optimized anchor text requirements

If you want, I can help with one of these:

  2. Create a pitch email template
  3. Give you Google search queries for your exact industry
