Write for Us Consulting: Consulting Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Type consulting write for us into a search bar and you'll mostly land on marketing and technology blogs with tidy contributor pages, and hardly any of them ask for people who consult for a living. That's the gap. I'd rather hear from the consultant who rewrote a proposal three times before a client said yes, or who learned to end a discovery call with the right question, than read another explainer on what a consultant is.

Picture a business owner weighing up whether to hire an adviser, or a specialist wondering if they could go independent. That's who reads this blog. They've already used my business consulting guide and my advice on getting clients as a fractional consultant, so your post needs to show them how the work is done from the inside.

60-second consulting guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you run client engagements yourself, independently or in house
• Does the post describe a method a reader could try on their next project
• Is your opening the answer, not a warm up
• Have you left out your agency's sales pitch and client logos
• Would a client recognise the situation you're describing

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Turning a specialism into a consulting offer clients understand
• How to run a discovery call that scopes the project
• Proposals a client can approve without a second meeting
• Tools consultants rely on to manage clients and deliverables
• Picking a niche and becoming the specialist people ask for
• Workshops and reports that clients go on to use
• Leaving an in house role to advise small firms
• Saying no to scope creep without losing the client

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

What we look for in consulting posts

Each row pairs a consulting topic I'd happily run with the version that won't make it past my inbox.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Offers	How you packaged an expertise into something clients buy	A list of services from your agency site
Discovery	The questions you ask and why they matter	Generic tips on being a good listener
Proposals	A structure clients approve quickly, with a real example	A template copied from elsewhere
Tools	The setup you use to run client work	A software roundup with no hands on use
Positioning	How you became known for one thing	Vague advice to find your passion

What we don't accept

• Buzzword posts that could be about any business
• Agency promotion written by the brand itself
• Advice with no real client experience behind it
• Thin lists of consulting definitions or types
• 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 consulting pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd like to write a post explaining the different types of consulting." A strong one says "I've consulted independently for operations teams for years, and I want to show the five questions I ask on every discovery call, why I stopped sending long proposals, and what a client told me when I did." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Why my best proposals fit on a single page
• One question that ends every good discovery call
• Moving from in house specialist to independent adviser
• Scoping a project when the client isn't sure what they want
• Workshops clients remember a month later
• Choosing a consulting niche you won't outgrow
• Reports that get read instead of filed
• Handling a client who keeps adding to the brief

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept consulting guest posts?

Yes. Consulting guest posts are welcome from independent consultants, advisers and former in house specialists. The post should come from client work you've done, with a method the reader can use, and it shouldn't read like an agency brochure.

What consulting topics do you publish?

Packaging an offer, discovery calls and scoping, proposals, client management tools, positioning as a specialist, and workshops or reports clients use. If it helps someone consult better or hire a consultant wisely, it's a fit.

I write about running a company, not consulting. Where should I pitch?

The business strategy and business management pages suit posts about running your own firm. Every pitch reaches the same editor, so if you're unsure, send it and I'll place it where it belongs.

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 consulting 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 working as a consultant or adviser. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
