Write for Us Business Management: Business Management Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Yes, business management guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is an operations manager, general manager, consultant or owner who has run teams, projects or processes and can explain one management decision and what it taught them. We decline management theory with no example, motivational quotes, leadership cliches and posts that could apply to any company anywhere.

When writers search business management write for us, they mostly find directories and broad business sites with guidelines that don't say what they want. The pitches that come in tend to be MBA style essays or lists of leadership traits. What this blog wants is a manager's notebook: how an operations lead fixed a process that kept dropping orders, why weekly meetings got shorter and better, what an owner changed when the business grew past the point where they could do everything themselves.

My readers are owners and managers of small and growing businesses who never had formal management training. They already use my guides to project management as a core business skill, key project management processes and document management software. A business management post has to help them run things a little more smoothly on Monday morning.

60-second business management guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

  • Do you manage teams, operations or projects in a real business
  • Can you describe one decision and what happened after it
  • Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
  • Have you kept out cliches and motivational quotes
  • Would a first time manager be able to use it straight away

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

  • Fixing a process that keeps going wrong
  • Meetings, updates and reporting that people don't dread
  • Delegating as an owner who's always done it all
  • Managing remote and hybrid teams day to day
  • Hiring, onboarding and keeping good people
  • Planning capacity when work arrives in waves
  • Documenting how the business runs so it can grow
  • Handling difficult conversations as a manager

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

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 business management pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the qualities of a great manager." A strong one says "I run operations for a small online retailer, and I want to show how we mapped the order process, the one handover that caused most complaints, and the weekly check that fixed it." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

  • Mapping a process to find where it breaks
  • A weekly meeting format that takes half the time
  • What an owner should delegate first
  • Onboarding that gets a new hire useful in a fortnight
  • Writing down how the business runs
  • Managing a team across time zones
  • Telling someone their work isn't good enough
  • Planning for busy seasons without burning people out

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept business management guest posts?

Yes. Business management guest posts are welcome from operations managers, general managers, consultants and owners who've run real teams. We publish practical lessons from management work, and decline theory with no example, cliches and motivational content.

What business management topics do you accept?

Process fixes, meetings and reporting, delegation, remote team management, hiring and onboarding, capacity planning, documentation and difficult conversations. The common thread is something a manager can use the same week.

Do you accept manufacturing or operations guest posts too?

Yes, but pitches about production lines, factories and supply chains suit the manufacturing page better. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: real experience, clear steps and no cliches.

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 business management 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 managing teams, operations or projects. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
