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

The contributor pages that rank for online courses write for us mostly belong to course platforms, training firms and certification blogs, which makes sense, since they want posts about their own products. What's missing is the creator's view from outside any one platform. I'd like posts that explain why a module was cut, how a quiz changed completion, or what a first launch taught someone about who their course was for.

My readers are coaches, consultants and business owners, and a lot of them want to package what they know into a course. They've used my guides to picking a custom or hosted learning platform and hosting a webinar. Your post should take them one step further than a tool list can.

60-second online courses guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you built, launched or designed an online course
• Is the advice platform neutral, or clear about which platform you used
• Does the opening answer the question straight away
• Have you left out promises about what a course will bring in
• Is there one example from a course you've worked on

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Choosing a platform to host your course
• Planning a course people will finish
• Recording and editing lessons with simple equipment
• Launching a first course to a small audience
• Keeping learners engaged in a self paced course
• Quizzes, certificates and community features that help
• Instructional design basics for experts who teach
• Updating a course without starting again

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

What we look for in online courses posts

Think of the left column as the subject, the middle as my yes and the right as my no.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Platforms	Why you chose one and what you'd change	A platform's own sales copy
Planning	How you structured modules people finish	A list of course ideas
Production	Recording and editing with simple kit	Gear reviews with no course context
Engagement	What kept learners going, with an example	Claims about completion with nothing to back them
Launching	A first launch and what you learned	Get rich quick launch formulas

What we don't accept

• Get rich quick course promotion
• Platform adverts written by the platform
• Generic definitions of online learning
• Posts with no course building 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 courses pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd like to write about why online learning is the future of education." A strong one says "I've launched two courses for freelance designers. I want to show how I cut the first one from twelve modules to six, what that did to the number of people who finished, and the feedback that told me to do it." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Cutting modules learners skip
• Recording kit that fits on a desk
• How one quiz kept people going past week two
• Launching to an email list you've only just started
• Self paced but not lonely: community ideas that work
• Storyboarding a lesson before you film it
• Spotting a course that needs a rewrite, not a refresh
• Certificates learners care about and ones they don't

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept online course guest posts?

Yes. Guest posts about building and running online courses are welcome from course creators and instructional designers. Posts should come from courses you've made and avoid platform promotion.

What online course topics do you publish?

Platform choice, course planning, recording and editing, launching, learner engagement, and tools for quizzes, certificates and community.

My post is about edtech or education in general. Where does it go?

The edtech and education pages suit wider learning technology and teaching posts. It's the same editor, so pitch it and I'll point it to the right page.

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 courses 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 building or designing online courses. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
