submit guest posts https://www.sitepoint.com/write-for-us/.

back to your website.

content? Simple with Google in your hand! For example, if you sell
cosmetics product and aim at teenage girls, the most suitable websites to
place guest articles might be teen beauty blog. Search the term on Google
and you will find a lot of potential websites:

It should be easy to find ways to contact the editor team so you can send
them a request to contribute a post (which you should prepare first and
send along in your first heads-up email). Some will accept for free as long
as your post is valuable, fresh, and covers a gap in their content. Some will
require a sponsor fee, depending on their ranking and potential referral
traffic they can drive to your store.

store, it helps establish you as an authority in your industry, spreads the
word about your online shop, and exposes your brand to an audience base
you may have never reached before.
