Write for Us Online Marketing: Online Marketing Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Search online marketing write for us and you'll find page after page of directories and sites that publish anything for a link, which is why so many pitches arrive as spun articles with a backlink in the second paragraph. What this blog wants is the opposite: someone who's run the campaign and can show how a content piece turned into enquiries, why a funnel leaked at one step, what a freelancer checks before touching a client's ads or email account.

My readers are business owners, freelancers and in house marketers trying to get more from the channels they already use. They already read my explainers on what digital marketing is and what content marketing is, and my guide to a marketing funnel for a one person business. An online marketing post has to help them do one thing better, not add to the noise. That's the test.

60-second online marketing guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you run online marketing for your own or client businesses
• Can you show how a tactic was tested and what changed
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Is the post written for readers rather than search engines
• Would a business owner be able to try it this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Content that turns readers into enquiries
• Fixing a funnel that leaks at one step
• Email, search and social working together for a small business
• Landing pages that convert, from people who've tested them
• Online marketing for service businesses and consultants
• Audits a freelancer runs before taking on a client
• Being found in AI answers as well as search results
• Running online marketing alone without losing the plot

If your post could be published on any online marketing site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in online marketing posts

These are the online marketing topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Content	A piece that brought in leads and why	Generic advice to post more often
Funnels	A funnel you fixed, step by step	A diagram with no real example
Search and AI	How you got a page found or cited	Keyword stuffing tricks
Email	A sequence you wrote and what changed	Templates copied from elsewhere
Freelance work	How you audit and report for clients	A promo for your own services

What we don't accept

• Keyword stuffed or spun articles
• Recycled tips with no testing behind them
• Posts written mainly to carry a link
• Thin posts with no first hand experience behind them
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong online marketing pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best online marketing strategies for this year." A strong one says "I run online marketing for a small coaching business, and I want to show the landing page change that doubled enquiries, the email we added after the form, and the blog topics we stopped writing." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• The landing page change that made the biggest difference
• What to fix first when a funnel leaks
• Turning one blog post into a week of marketing
• The audit questions before taking on a new client
• Getting a small business cited in AI answers
• Email follow ups that bring readers back
• Reporting online marketing results in plain words
• A weekly routine for a solo marketer

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept online marketing guest posts?

Yes. Online marketing guest posts are welcome from digital marketers, consultants, freelancers and founders who've run campaigns themselves. We publish tested tactics with clear lessons, and decline spun articles, keyword stuffing and posts written to carry a link.

What online marketing topics do you accept?

Content that converts, funnel fixes, email, search and AI visibility, landing pages, client audits and marketing for service businesses. The common thread is one thing a business owner can do better after reading.

Do you accept website hosting or site speed guest posts too?

Yes, but pitches about servers, domains and site performance suit the hosting page better. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: tested, clearly explained and written for people, not search engines.

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 an online marketing 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 running online marketing for businesses. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
