        Hey Varunrupal,

        Great question and something that anyone doing outreach runs into from time to time.

        This is a bit of a sticky situation. Guest posting is against Google's Guidelines, and paying for a guest post is doubly so. So I would encourage you to reply with a polite reply thanking them for their time.
        Then move on and continue your outreach with other potential bloggers.

        That said, I think if a blogger is wanting compensation for a post I would encourage you to change your offer to be a bit more appealing. If you can structure the outreach in a way that creates tangible value for the blogger or their readers, you're more likely to gain some traction without the need for monetary compensation. Make your value add the compensation.

        Let me know if you have any other questions on this!

        Regards,
        Trenton
