How can I easily find guest blogging opportunities?

[Chris Kent]

Is there some centralised place where people offer their guest blogging services and others ask for them?

I'm not talking about pay per post or pay per review though, because in this case I will write the post rather than pay for someone to write one for me on their site.

Any ideas?

Hey,

Usually I write an article for blogs and then email it to the site owner telling them that I am an "avid reader" and that if they used the article it would mean a lot to me, since bloggers love their readers, I usually get a 2 out of 10 conversion rate on blogs that I contact with an article.

Well, I find that contacting people directly works for me. I don't know what your niche is, but I'm looking for a few guest posts while I make my way back to the states. PM me if you want to talk.
