Like the title says, I would be curious to know, what is the One thing that frustrates you most about guest posting, whether it is done through manual outreach, or buying guest posts from agencies or platforms?

Finding opportunities?
Selecting guest post sites?
Lack of transparency?
Too expensive?
Too time consuming?
Low response rates?
Avoiding PBNS?
Guest Post Farms?
Writing articles?
Anything else?

most frustrating part is finding sites that are actually relevant and maintain good quality
it takes time to separate genuine opportunities from overpriced or low value placements
 
For me the hardest part is finding sites that are actually worth the price. A lot of guest post offers look good on paper, but after checking the site properly, the traffic or quality is not really there.

Sellers trying to pass off their own GeneratePress multi-niche sites as outreached guest posts. It's rife unfortunately.
 
Finding trustworthy publishers is the hardest part. There are plenty of sites selling guest posts, but not all of them are worth the investment. I’d rather secure a few quality placements than dozens of questionable ones.
 
I think the hardest part is separating valuable opportunities from low quality on, There are many guest post options available, but finding sites that fit the niche and provide real value requires a lot of checking before making a decision

i believe that the main problem is the lack of transpareency. a lot of platforms demonstrate amazing numbers but when digging into details traffic or the relevance of the audience content can be far from perfect.For myself the task is not only to get a guest post out but to find places where the link placement is logical nd useful for the blog not just added there wiithout any sense.
 
Finding genuine, high quality and relevant website is the hardest for me because there are too many guest post farms and overprice placements.
 
Low response rates during manual outreach are what slow me down the most, Even with personalized emails, It can take a lot of time to secure just a few good opportunities.
 
Finding trustworthy websites is the hardest part I prefer quality placements with real traffic instead of overpriced sites with little value
 
These days, website owners are charging exorbitant prices, which is honestly the most frustrating part, especially when you're trying to maintain a profit margin.

Thinking of saving costs, I set up a custom niche campaign for each client but always end up getting exorbitant quotes from website owners. But yes, the quality is always better this way than with link farm-type guest posts.
 
being on the agency side of this the most frustrating part for me is actually managing publisher relationships long term, site owner agrees on a price n turnaround, then few months later randomly doubles the rate or starts sitting on content for weeks bcuz they got busier w higher paying clients. makes it hard to give clients consistent eta since ur basically at the mercy of whatever mood the publisher is in that week. built a rotating list of backup sites just to deal with this instead of relying on 1-2 go-to publishers

SPAM and SPAMMERS
 
it's the lack of transparency. A site can look great on the surface, but it's hard to know whether it has real traffic and engaged readers or is just another link farm with inflated metrics. Doing proper due diligence takes almost as much time as the outreach itself
