Marketing blogs that accept guest posts are the biggest niche on my list after business. Re-checked live in September 2026, 293 sites are tagged marketing: 252 were live and 147 had a domain authority of 40 or more. Examples include adweek.com, hongkiat.com and mediapost.com. Check each site's current guidelines before you pitch.
Marketing is the niche I know best, because it's the one I write in. It's also the most crowded. Every agency, freelancer and software company wants a byline on a marketing blog, so editors see a flood of pitches every week, and most of them say the same thing. The good news is that there are more live marketing sites than in almost any other niche, so the opportunity is there if your pitch stands out.
This page pulls the marketing sites out of my free list of websites that accept guest posts, which I re-checked site by site in September 2026. I've also counted the two closely related categories, content marketing and social media, because many buyers want all three.
How many marketing blogs on my list still accept guest posts?
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Marketing sites on my list | 293 |
| Live when checked | 252 |
| Live with DA 40 or more | 147 |
| Dead or parked | 41 |
About one in seven marketing sites was dead or parked. That's a better survival rate than many niches, because a lot of marketing blogs belong to agencies and software companies that keep them running as part of their own marketing.
Content marketing and social media sites
| Category | On my list | Live | Live with DA 40+ | Dead or parked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Content marketing | 33 | 31 | 19 | 2 |
| Social media | 21 | 19 | 10 | 2 |
Both are small categories with very few dead sites. Live examples include wordstream.com, socialmediaexaminer.com and coschedule.com for content, and agorapulse.com and postplanner.com for social.
Which marketing blogs accept guest posts?
Twelve live marketing sites from my list, with their domain authority when I checked:
- adweek.com: DA 92
- hongkiat.com: DA 86
- mediapost.com: DA 81
- tmcnet.com: DA 80
- semrush.com: DA 79
- volusion.com: DA 75
- clickz.com: DA 74
- ducttapemarketing.com: DA 74
- mention.com: DA 72
- jeffbullas.com: DA 69
- b2bmarketing.net: DA 67
- leadpages.net: DA 67
The list also includes very large publishers that happen to cover marketing, and they run their own editorial processes, so treat them as long shots. Guidelines change, so read each site's current write for us page before you pitch.
Agency blog, software blog or independent publisher?
Most marketing blogs fall into one of three groups, and each one reads a pitch differently:
- Software company blogs. They want posts that help their users, and they won't publish anything that promotes a competitor.
- Agency and consultant blogs. They want thought leadership that makes their own team look good, so pitch ideas, not links.
- Independent marketing publishers. They want practical, tested advice for their readers, with examples and screenshots.
Check who owns a site before you pitch. A post that mentions a rival tool on a software company's blog is dead on arrival, however good it is.
What do marketing editors want?
Specifics. Marketing editors have read "ten tips for better social media" hundreds of times. What they don't see often enough is a real campaign, a real number from your own work, or a clear process someone can copy. One worked example beats ten generic tips.
They also want writers who know the audience. A post for small business owners needs plain language and quick wins. A post for in-house marketing teams can go deeper into strategy, reporting and tools. Say which reader you're writing for in your pitch.
Free guest post or sponsored post on a marketing blog?
Free editorial posts on marketing blogs are competitive, because so many people want them, and replies can take weeks. Sponsored posts are faster and more predictable, which is why agencies placing posts for clients often use them. Whichever route you take, the checks below still apply.
How do you check a marketing blog before you pitch?
- Search site:domain.com. If very few pages come up, move on.
- Read the three newest posts. Is the site still publishing, and who writes for it?
- Look at the outbound links. A marketing blog stuffed with unrelated links in every post is one to avoid.
- Find a name. A real editor you can email beats a form that never replies.
- Ask if posts are permanent. Some sites prune old content in clean-ups.
There's more in how to check backlink quality and my guide to high DA guest posting sites. If your topic overlaps, see my business blogs that accept guest posts and technology blogs that accept guest posts pages too.
How should you write a marketing pitch email?
Treat the pitch as a sample of your marketing. If the subject line is dull and the first paragraph is about you, the editor assumes the article will be the same. Lead with the post title and one line on what the reader will be able to do afterwards. Then give two alternatives, in case the first idea is already covered.
Show you've read the site. Mention a recent post and say how yours adds something new. And be upfront about any tools you plan to mention, especially if you work for one of them, because editors on marketing blogs are quick to spot hidden promotion.
Can you place a marketing post on my blog?
Yes, and this is the niche my blog fits best. lilachbullock.com is a marketing blog that's been publishing since the dial-up days, with thousands of indexed articles. My readers are business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs, with the majority in the USA and the UK. Posts about digital marketing, content, social media, email and marketing tools are a natural fit. Writer guidelines are on my digital marketing page.
How placing a post on my blog works
- Email lilach@lilachbullock.com, or start on my write for me page, with your target URL, topic and niche.
- I reply with whether it fits and which format I'd pick: a new sponsored post or a link insertion into an existing, indexed article.
- You send the article, or I choose the right existing article for your link.
- I edit, publish and send you the live URL.
Accepted posts usually go live within 24 to 48 hours of everything being agreed. Placements are permanent. I invoice by PayPal, and if you're an agency, I never contact your client.
