Write for Us Automation: Automation Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Yes, automation guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is an operations lead, marketer, founder, consultant or builder who has set up the workflow they are writing about and lived with it for at least a month. We decline lists of automation tools with no workflow behind them, and anything written mainly to promote one platform or agency.

Most automation pitches list tools: here are ten apps that save time. A reader still has no idea what to automate first or what it looks like when it works. What this blog wants instead is one workflow, described step by step, with the trigger, the tools, the hours it saved and the thing that broke in week two.

Automation is my day job: I build AI and automation systems for small businesses and I write about what holds up in real use. My readers are owners and marketers who want hours back. They read this blog for workflows they can copy, so a post needs the real steps and the real numbers.

60-second automation guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

Have you built the workflow and run it for at least a month
Do you have a number: hours saved, errors avoided or revenue
Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
Have you removed any pitch for a platform, a template or an agency
Could a reader rebuild it from your steps this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

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 automation pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top benefits of business automation." A strong one says "Our quote to invoice flow went from 40 minutes of copying to four, using one form and two automations, and I want to show every step and the two that failed first." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

A workflow with its steps, tools and hours saved
An AI agent doing real work, with its error rate
A build you scrapped and why
A workflow another business could copy this week
A contrarian view on what should stay manual

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept automation guest posts?

Yes. Automation guest posts are welcome from an operations lead, marketer, founder, consultant or builders and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline lists of automation tools with no workflow behind them.

What automation topics do you accept?

We accept step by step workflows, AI agents in real businesses, Zapier, Make and n8n compared from use, marketing and CRM automation, admin and invoicing automation, what not to automate, and measuring whether it was worth it. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of automation.

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 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 under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit an automation 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 doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

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 should an automation guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes an automation pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: Our quote to invoice flow went from 40 minutes of copying to four, using one form and two automations, and I want to show every step and the two that failed first.
