  Hi there. First you of course have to find people to write guest posts. You can either actively contact other bloggers, asking them to write guest posts for you, or you can create a guest post page with a form visitors can use to ask you to guest post on your site.

  Then it’s up to you whether you will add them as contributors to your blog, allowing them to compose and publish the posts themselves via your blog’s dashboard, or if they email the posts to you and you publish them yourself.

  I would recommend you have a clear guest post policy in place on your site, explaining how it works and what is and isn’t allowed. You can see the one on timethief’s blog as an example: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/guest-posts/
