Now if you want to pursue guest blogging, here are a few things you need to consider.
A few thoughts to ponder..
Publish high quality content first on your site before you do guest blogging.

WHAT IS GUEST BLOGGING
Guest blogging is the process of you writing for another website as a guest
author.

earn more links from pages that link to your guest articles
(second-tier link building).
Send targeted referred traffic to your site.
Absorb social followers from sites where you published your
third-party content.

Outreach tips
Do not submit completed articles unless the guest
blogging guidelines say so.
Offer 2-3 topic suggestions to the content manager.
Take time to customize your guest blogging pitch (name,
blog title).
Be honest.
Add proofs of work (use linked titles rather than URLs)
Ask first if he/she is still accepting guest contributions (this
can be included in your first paragraph).
