How do I publish expert how-to content on a site that lets me keep my byline and links?

Look for a guest-posting / contributor platform that offers these three things:

1. You keep your byline

   • Your name appears on the article.
   • Ideally you get an author bio page with your photo, credentials, and links.

2. You can include relevant links

   • A site policy that allows one or more editor-approved editorial links to your site, portfolio, or resources.
   • Avoid platforms that only allow nofollow or strip links entirely if backlinks are important to you.

3. They accept expert how-to content

   • The site should publish tutorials, guides, case studies, and educational articles in your niche.
   • Look for “contributors,” “write for us,” “guest authors,” or “expert column” pages.

Best path

• Make a short list of sites in your niche with strong editorial standards.
• Read their contributor guidelines carefully.
• Pitch a specific how-to topic that matches their audience.
• Include:
  • a proposed headline
  • 3–5 bullet points of the takeaways
  • why you’re qualified
  • samples of your writing
• Ask upfront whether:
  • your byline is retained
  • author bio links are allowed
  • the article can include contextual links to relevant resources

What to avoid

• “Content farms” that trade on low-quality SEO posts.
• Sites that promise links but won’t give you editorial control or byline credit.
• Any platform that requires you to hand over authorship or remove attribution.
