The process involves checking out the guest-posting guidelines, understanding what the site needs, and what their readers are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>In this second part of our publishing success series, we will focus on what you can do before you pitch an idea to the site you want to write for. Yes, expect to do a lot of work, but it\u2019s necessary if you <strong>don\u2019t want to end up pitching titles that won\u2019t be accepted<\/strong>.

Give Sincere Compliments in Your Introduction<\/h3>\n<p>Compliments show the editor that you genuinely appreciate their publication, not just their ability to give you a byline. If you\u2019ve been following them for a while, this should be easy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can say, \u201c<em>I\u2019m John Smith, a blogger with a passion for history. I read your article last month about the Jamestown mysteries, and I must say, I was impressed enough with it to visit the place for myself.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/getting-your-articles-published-part-2\/blog-pitch-introduction.jpg\" alt=\"Email introduction example\" width=\"1500\" height=\"958\"><\/figure>\n<p>Remember: Be sincere. <strong>Insincerity will backfire<\/strong> on you.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be Original with Your Idea<\/h3>\n<p>Your pitch may be good, but if there\u2019s already a similar article published on the website, the editor may turn it down unless you can <strong>put a new spin on the topic that will still be interesting<\/strong> for the site\u2019s readers.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/getting-your-articles-published-part-2\/blog-pitch-idea.jpg\" alt=\"Pitching a unique idea\" width=\"1500\" height=\"958\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/new-creative-ideas\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 20 Things to Replenish Your Idea Vault (When You Run Out Of Ideas)\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">20 Things to Replenish Your Idea Vault (When You Run Out Of Ideas)<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/new-creative-ideas.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-17512 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/new-creative-ideas.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">20 Things to Replenish Your Idea Vault (When You Run Out Of Ideas)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis post is a reflection of my state of mind.

Emphasize How Your Idea Will Benefit Site Readers<\/h3>\n<p>This strategy is especially helpful if you\u2019re not the most experienced or well-known writer in the editor\u2019s queue. After outlining your pitch, say something like, \u201c<em>I think this will benefit your readers because\u2026<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Or explain, in a sentence or two, how you\u2019re going to gather information for the article (e.g., interviews, surveys, etc.) if your research will involve more than just regular online searches. You <strong>want to show the editor that you\u2019re serious about your idea<\/strong> and committed to turning it into a full-blown article.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/getting-your-articles-published-part-2\/blog-idea-scope.jpg\" alt=\"Explaining the scope of an idea\" width=\"1500\" height=\"958\"><\/figure>\n<h3>4. Include a Call to Action<\/h3>\n<p>As Rajiv has highlighted in his article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/writing-professional-query-letter\/\">writing a professional query letter<\/a>, editors often have tight schedules. Therefore, it\u2019s essential to make your pitch email straightforward and easy to understand. Your submission should clearly indicate whether it\u2019s a viable opportunity, eliminating any guesswork for the editor and making it easier for them to give you a quick response.<\/p>\n<p>Always end your pitch with something like, \u201c<em>Let me know if this is a good fit for your publication<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>What do you think of this idea?<\/em>\u201c. If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/rejected-guest-post\/\">title gets rejected<\/a>, try to refrain from asking them what title will definitely be accepted for publication; that comes off as a little desperate and pushy. Instead, tell them you will write again with another pitch soon.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/getting-your-articles-published-part-2\/blog-pitch-call-to-action.jpg\" alt=\"Call-to-action example in email\" width=\"1500\" height=\"958\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Iron Out the T&C and Payment Options<\/h2>\n<p>If the editor says \u201cYes\u201d to your pitch, you\u2019re likely doing a happy dance. If the answer is \u201c<em>No<\/em>,\u201d don\u2019t fret. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/rejected-guest-post\/\">better uses<\/a> for your rejected pitch. At this point, it\u2019s your chance to prove that you\u2019re a professional writer. This means <strong>you\u2019re reliable, you know what you\u2019re doing, and you\u2019re easy to work with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-16448 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/habits-to-destroy-freelance-career.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">7 Insane Habits to Kill Your Freelance Writing Career<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIt takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

Things can get complicated if payment is discussed at such a late stage.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, a website\u2019s submission guidelines will specify how much they pay for an article or for different types of articles. Other times, they won\u2019t. In the latter case, you\u2019ll need to <strong>negotiate a reasonable rate for your work<\/strong>. What\u2019s a \u201creasonable\u201d rate? There\u2019s no definitive answer to that question.<\/p>\n<p>You can <strong>refer to the standard rate for similar publications<\/strong>. Estimate the time and effort <strong>required to write your article<\/strong>, consider your expertise, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/how-to-charge-clients\/\">calculate an appropriate fee<\/a> based on that.

There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all strategy for negotiating, as the most appropriate strategy varies on a case-by-case basis. Ensure the final terms are <strong>fair for everyone involved<\/strong>. When haggling your price, <strong>consider the needs of the publication you\u2019re writing for, as well as your own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Find out <em>when<\/em> and <em>how<\/em> you\u2019re going to be paid as well. Some websites <strong>pay on acceptance<\/strong>; others <strong>pay on publication<\/strong>. \u201cAcceptance\u201d means you\u2019ll receive payment once your editor green-lights your piece. \u201cPublication\u201d means you\u2019ll have to wait for your piece to show up on the website before you get paid, which could take weeks or months.<\/p>\n<h3>Payment Methods and Rights<\/h3>\n<p>Your target website might prefer popular payment services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/paypal-most-asked-questions-solutions\/\">PayPal<\/a> or consider other options listed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/paypal-alternatives-bestof\/\">here<\/a>.
