How it works

Three steps from a draft to a live article

It works both ways. You spend points to get published. You earn points by publishing articles that suit your own readers.

Put up your article

Paste it in, pick how many blogs you want it on, and say what you'll pay each one. We set those points aside right away so nobody's offer is fake.

A blog owner takes it

It shows up for owners who write about the same subject. They can see what it pays and every link inside it before they say yes. Then they publish it.

We check it, then they get paid

We open the page and make sure your article is really there, word for word, with your link in it. Only then do the points go across.

Built for the AI-search era

Everything a swap has to get right

Real blogs. The same rules for both sides. And we check the work instead of taking anyone's word for it.

Say what you'll pay

Pick how many blogs you want your article on, and how many points each one earns. We hold the whole lot aside straight away, so anyone looking at it knows the offer is good.

List your first article

Real blogs, with real readers

Every blog that earns here has to link its Google account and show at least 100 visits from Google a month. Want stricter? Set your own minimum on any article you put up.

How that differs

Run a blog? Get paid to post

You only see articles about the things you already write about. Publish the ones you'd have been happy to run anyway, get the points, then spend them getting your own writing out there.

Connect a site

It has to stay up

We keep checking the page after it goes live. If your article gets taken down, or quietly cut back until it isn't the article you wrote, it stops counting and the points come back to you.

What happens on a takedown

We find the links for you

We read the article and list every link and image that points somewhere else. Nobody has to fill in a form about it, and both sides are looking at the same list.

Scan an article

One article per blog

You won't pay for ten articles and find them all on the same blog. Each blog can take one from a batch. Someone with five real blogs can take five — one each — so your work actually spreads out.

Why the rule exists
Where your readers come from

See exactly who sent the traffic

Every blog on Niched runs one small piece of our code. It tells us where each reader came from — so instead of a shrug, you get an answer.

Counted article by article

People sent by ChatGPT and the like are counted separately from people sent by Google. So you can see which of your articles the AI tools are quoting, and which are just doing well in search.

Start tracking placements

What we can tell apart

We sort each reader the moment they arrive. AI tools in one pile, search engines in another, and everything else named for the site it came from. Very little ends up as "we don't know".

This keeps running for as long as your article stays up — so you find out which blogs keep sending people your way, and which never sent a single one.

Two sides, one balance

Whichever side you start on, it's the same points

Publish other people's articles to earn points. Spend those points getting your own published. Most people here end up doing both.

If you write

Get read on blogs people actually visit

  • Say how many blogs and what you'll pay. We hold the points until the work is done.
  • Set a minimum on traffic and site quality, so your article only goes somewhere you'd be happy with.
  • Change your mind any time. Points for spots nobody took come straight back to you.
  • Every copy that goes live tells you how many people read it, and where they came from.
If you run a blog

Make your readers worth something

  • Link your blog's Google account. If it gets 100+ visits a month from Google, you'll start seeing articles on your subject.
  • You see what it pays and every link inside it before you say yes to anything.
  • Don't like one? Skip it. Nothing goes on your blog unless you put it there.
  • Get your points once it's live, then use them to get your own writing out there.
Why Niched

Not a guest-post marketplace

The difference isn't the list of blogs. It's that we check who gets in, we check the work got done, and we check it's still there next month.

What people say

From the people putting articles up and the people publishing them — the same swap, seen from both ends.

“We put up one guide and 47 people arrived from ChatGPT in the first week. I've never been able to see that with a guest post before.”

Maya R.
Content Lead, DTC brand

“My blog gets decent traffic from Google but it was never earning me anything. I made 62 points in a month posting things I'd have been happy to run anyway, then spent them getting my own guides out there.”

Daniel K.
Independent Publisher

“Nobody gets paid until the article is actually up. When you're the one paying, that's the whole thing — no chasing anyone, no arguments.”

Growth Marketer, SaaS

Questions, answered

How is this different from a guest-post marketplace?

There's no haggling and no middleman. You say what you'll pay, and blog owners decide for themselves whether your article suits their readers. We then check the page ourselves and count who reads it — so you get real numbers, not just a link.

What does a blog need to earn here?

Three things: link its Google account, show at least 100 visits from Google in the last four weeks, and add our small piece of code. That bar is what stops articles landing on blogs nobody reads.

How do I get points?

You earn them by publishing other people's articles on your own blog, and you spend them getting your writing published elsewhere. Points do one job here: they move articles between blogs. That's it.

How do you know a reader came from ChatGPT?

Our code notes where each reader was just before they landed on the page. Anyone arriving from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, You.com or Poe is counted as AI traffic. Search engines are counted separately. Both are tied to the exact article they read.

What if they delete my article later?

We keep checking the page. If the article's gone — or has been cut about until it isn't what you wrote — it stops counting, the points go back to you, and the spot opens up for a different blog.

Do I have to publish other people's articles?

No. Publishing is just how you earn points instead of buying them. You pick every single article that goes on your blog, and you can skip anything that isn't right for your readers. We never post for you.

Get your next article published.

Sign up, then either put an article up or link your blog. We'll do the matching.
