The word is a clear compound of 'der Gast' (guest) and 'der Beitrag' (post/contribution). So it is literally a contribution written or created by a guest.

The person who writes a 'Gastbeitrag' (guest post) is called 'der Gastautor' (male guest author) or 'die Gastautorin' (female guest author). This word helps you understand the context better.
Als Gastautorin schreibt sie regelmäßig für verschiedene Online-Magazine.
As a guest author, she regularly writes for various online magazines.

'der Artikel' and 'der Gastbeitrag' can both mean a published text, for example in a newspaper or on a website. 'der Artikel' only says that it is a text about a topic. 'der Gastbeitrag' also says who wrote it: an external person who is not part of the regular editorial staff or permanent team. Learners may confuse the words because a guest post is often also an article. If the role of the author is important, 'Gastbeitrag' is more precise.
