Find the name of the editor for the vertical [section] where you would like to submit your blog. Their emails are always their name followed by @huffingtonpost.com.
Send them the first 400-500 words of your blog post in the body of the email, not as an attachment. You should get a response fairly soon.
Be A Prolific Commenter For Huffington Post
I have heard prolific commenters have been rewarded with writing gig. Although am not sure how true it is. If you take this route make sure your comments are lengthy, factual, insightful and unique. If you do that somebody may spot you and invite you to write for them.
Advantage of free blogging for Huffington Post.
Readers for your blog
Huffington Post has over 35 million monthly visitors. Those visitors view over 1 billion pages on the site. What this means is your blogs have a very high chance of being seen and read inside Huffington Post than when you blog for your own independent blog.
Support For Huffington Post Bloggers.
Huffington Post has an internal system to teach you the best ways on how to write for internet. They will teach you, how to write killer headlines, how to write sticky posts, and most crucial, how to write articles that attract visitors from search engines such as Google and Bing.
A free blog can be a stepping stone to a paid blogging gig. If your writing is world class expect their talent spotters to invite you to paid bloggers club.
