Guest Posting at Scale

Research 10-15 industry blogs that accept guest posts; prioritize sites with Domain Authority 30+ and your ICP as readers (use Ahrefs or Moz).

For each blog, identify content guidelines, preferred topics, and editor contact information; save in a spreadsheet with columns for site, DA, contact, status.

Create 3 unique article pitches (title, outline, key takeaways) aligned with each blog's content themes and your expertise.

Draft personalized pitch emails referencing specific articles from their blog; explain why your post would provide value to their readers.

Send pitches to 10 blogs manually via email; track responses in your spreadsheet (accepted, rejected, no response).

Set pass threshold: ≥2 pitches accepted within 2 weeks.

For accepted pitches, write high-quality 1,200-1,500 word articles with actionable insights; include 1-2 contextual backlinks to your site (to valuable content, not just homepage).

Submit articles for editorial review; incorporate feedback and get posts published.

Set up PostHog to track referral traffic from guest post backlinks; monitor conversions from guest post readers.

If you get ≥2 acceptances and published posts drive ≥50 referral visits total, document your pitch templates and target blog list and proceed to Baseline; if not, refine pitch approach or target different blogs.
