Write for Us Business Tips: Business Tips Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, business tips guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a business owner, founder, coach or advisor who's able to share one specific lesson from running a business and show how others can use it. We decline generic tip lists, motivational quotes, hustle culture posts and advice that could apply to anyone anywhere.
A business tips write for us search mostly brings back directories and catch all sites that publish any list of ten tips, which is exactly the kind of pitch we get most. What this blog wants is one tip with a story behind it: how an owner stopped chasing late paying clients, why a founder raised their rates and lost no one, what a coach tells every new business owner about saying no.
My readers are small business owners and freelancers who've read every generic tip list already. They already use my guides to running a business as the only employee, marketing metrics that matter and common mistakes small businesses make with AI. A business tips post has to give them one thing they haven't heard before.
60-second business tips guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you run or advise small businesses
- Is your tip specific, with a story or example behind it
- Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
- Have you kept out hustle culture and motivational quotes
- Would a busy owner be able to use it this week
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What a strong business tips pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write ten tips for running a successful business." A strong one says "I've run a bookkeeping firm on my own for eight years, and I want to show the client onboarding call that ended late payments, the weekly hour I protect for admin, and the client type I now turn down." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- The onboarding call that prevents late payment
- Turning down work without burning bridges
- One system that gave an owner a day back each week
- Raising rates without losing clients
- When to hire and when to automate
- A complaint that turned into a loyal customer
- The admin hour every owner should protect
- What a business coach tells every new client

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept business tips guest posts?
Yes. Business tips guest posts are welcome from owners, founders, coaches and advisors who share specific lessons they've lived. We decline generic tip lists, motivational quotes and hustle culture.
What business tips topics do you accept?
Running a business alone, client choices, time saving systems, prompt client payment, growth without overstretching, customer service habits and sensible automation. The common thread is one tip with a real story behind it.
Do you accept guest posts for law firms or other professional practices too?
Yes, but pitches aimed at running a law firm suit the lawyer page better. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: specific, lived and useful to a busy owner.
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 tips 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 or advising small businesses. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
