No surprise that the top research tool is our old pal Google.<\/p>\n<p>My most important piece of advice: When you find a blog you&#8217;re interested in, read the blog. Repeat after me: <strong>&#8220;Read the blog.&#8221;<\/strong> Read at least a half dozen posts. If you have time, read a dozen. And if the blog has a search box, use it to search for a topic you want to write about to see if someone else has beaten you to it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re convinced it&#8217;s for you, pitch a few ideas, not just one.<\/p>\n<p>To do: Read Drew&#8217;s article <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2016\/12\/guest-blogging-opportunities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;How to Research Websites That Allow Guest Blogging.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#guestblogging #marketingtips #bloggingtips<\/p>\n<h3>3.
