▪ “guest contributor” 
▪ "this guest post was written" 
▪ "guest post by" 
▪ "my guest posts" 
▪ inurl:guest-posts 

Step #4: Make Announcements On Your Social Media Pages
Announce that you are looking for guest bloggers on your social media pages. Provide those who express interest with the guidelines for guest blogging on your site. Make sure the topic they write about is relevant and useful to your readers. If you have a specific topic in mind, give an outline of the topic and offer something interesting in return.
Step #5: Blog Comments
Step #6: Competitor Backlinks from Blogs
Use the WooRank Advanced Review feature to see three of your top competitor’s backlink profiles. Check if any of these links are from blogs. You can then visit these blog sites and request that the author blog on your site as well.
