I started with Google searches like such as "write for us" + niche, "guest post" + niche, and "submit an article" + niche.
Then, I checked competitor backlinks in Semrush and discover relevant sites.
Since then in the same way, I contact the website owners directly after checking site's organic traffic, content quality, topical relevance, and existing outbound links.

I try to find relevant websites to my niche and I outreach to them.
That's a good way to do it in my opinion. I would also look into traffic history, organic keywords, and if their audience is even part of the niche before contacting them.

I usually find them through niche specific Google searches, LinkedIn outreach, industry blogs and relevant SEO communities.
Focus on websites with real organic traffic, consistent publishing activity and genuine audience engagement, then contact the owners directly rather than relying only on reseller marketplaces.

Try to use some simple terms in google like:
"write for us" + [niche]
"guest post guidelines" + [niche]
"submit an article" + [niche]
"contribute to" + [niche] blog
"guest post by" + [niche]
"editorial guidelines" + [niche]
you can find sites in your niche. Also you can check your competitor backlinks to find relevant sites for you.

I agree with checking traffic history and outbound links before reaching out. A site can look strong on metrics and still link to unrelated niches, so I spend more time reading recent posts and checking whether the content is updated regularly. I also prefer a short personal message that mentions one specific article on the site instead of a generic pitch. That usually gets a better reply and shows the owner that I actually looked at their site.
I will begin by finding blogs related to the niche in question which are offering guest post services by different authors and then will approach the website owners directly this way one can use organic traffic latest articles posted authors profile and engagement with the actual users to distinguish quality websites from poor ones

This!
Also, look at the competitor backlinks to find out which websites have published some relevant content.
Once I've found a site I'm interested in I check that it has genuine organic traffic, that it has relevant content and that it has an active editorial team. I then get in touch directly with a very specific article idea rather than just a generic backlink request.
