Write for Us Outsourcing: Outsourcing Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, outsourcing guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is an outsourcing provider, virtual assistant, agency owner or founder who outsources and can share what worked and what went wrong when work moved outside the business. We decline posts that sell one provider, generic lists of tasks to outsource and anything that treats people as interchangeable.
Most outsourcing pitches are lists of tasks you could hand off. What this blog wants is the working view: how a founder handed bookkeeping to an outside team without losing control, how a virtual assistant sets up a new client so the first month runs smoothly, how an agency rescued a project that an earlier supplier dropped.
My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers, and most of them outsource something. They already read my guides to marketing activities worth outsourcing and what a virtual assistant job description includes. An outsourcing post has to help them hand work over and get it back done well.
60-second outsourcing guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you provide outsourced services or outsource work yourself
- Can you share a real handover with what changed and why
- Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
- Would a business owner know how to start, or fix, an outsourcing arrangement after reading it
- Have you removed any sales pitch for one provider or platform
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What a strong outsourcing pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about the benefits of outsourcing for small businesses." A strong one says "I run a support team that small software firms outsource to, and I want to show the onboarding checklist we built after two handovers went badly, and the question we now ask every new client." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept outsourcing guest posts?
Yes. Outsourcing guest posts are welcome from outsourcing providers, virtual assistants, agency owners and founders who outsource and can share real experience. We publish practical articles and decline provider promotion.
What outsourcing topics do you accept?
Deciding what to outsource, handovers and briefs, working with virtual assistants, remote and offshore teams, running an outsourcing business, quality checks and fixing arrangements that aren't working. The common thread is a real lesson from handing work over.
How long should a guest post be?
Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.
Can I include a link back to my own site?
One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.
Do you accept previously published content?
No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.
Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?
You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.
Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?
Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.
How long does a decision take?
We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.
Do you edit guest posts before they go live?
Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.
Can I pitch more than one idea?
Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.
How do I submit a outsourcing guest post?
Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience providing or using outsourced services. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
