Email marketing is still one of the highest-ROI channels available to business owners — and our readers want to use it better. If you have real expertise in email marketing and want to share it with a business-focused audience, we want to hear from you.
Short answer: yes, email marketing guest posts are open. What lands here is a real campaign with its open rate, click rate and what you changed to move them, or a deliverability problem you actually solved. Subject-line listicles with no send data behind them get turned down. One contextual link back to your own site is fine.

I’m Lilach Bullock, and email marketing is one of the most in-demand topics on this blog. Our audience includes entrepreneurs, small business owners, marketers, and agencies who are actively building their lists, improving their open rates, and trying to make email a predictable revenue channel for their business.
What We’re Looking For
We publish email marketing content that helps our readers get better results from their lists. That includes:
- Email list building strategies — organic, content-driven, and tool-assisted
- Improving open rates, click rates, and deliverability
- Email copywriting — subject lines, body copy, CTAs that convert
- Automation workflows and sequences for different business types
- Email platform comparisons and tool guides — Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and others
- Segmentation, personalisation, and behavioural email strategies
- Re-engagement campaigns and list hygiene
- Email marketing for ecommerce, SaaS, and service businesses
What performs best on this blog is practical, specific content. Step-by-step guides, tool comparisons, real campaign examples, and actionable frameworks consistently outperform general advice.
Want to share your insights on productivity? We’re also accepting guest posts on the topic.
What We Don’t Accept
- Generic advice that applies to any marketing channel
- Content published elsewhere
- Promotional content disguised as a guide
- Anything written purely for link building with no genuine value to readers
What You Get
- Exposure to a highly engaged audience of business owners and marketers
- A quality backlink from an established domain
- Author bio with a link back to your website
- Social media promotion across our channels

The email topics our readers ask about most
Why open rates fell off a cliff. Whether their list is dead. What to send when they have nothing to say. How often is too often. Whether the platform they are paying for is the problem. If you can answer one of those from experience, that is the pitch.
Pitches that get accepted
- A campaign with the real numbers, including the ones that disappointed you
- A deliverability problem you diagnosed and fixed
- A sequence that worked, with the actual copy
- Platform comparisons based on real sends, not feature lists
- How to restart a list that has gone cold without burning it
What we do not publish
Anything promoting bought lists. Growth hacks that risk the sender reputation. Tool reviews with an undisclosed relationship. Content that treats subscribers as numbers rather than people who agreed to hear from you.
Frequently asked questions
What email marketing topics do you accept guest posts on?
Topics that work well on this site include: newsletter monetisation, deliverability fundamentals, AI email drafting, Kit/ConvertKit/Klaviyo/ActiveCampaign tactics, email automation that respects subscribers. The bar for acceptance is original first-hand experience and a specific angle.
What email marketing topics don’t you accept?
Topics that get binned include: spammy growth-hack content, anything that promotes purchased lists, anything pitching an email tool review without disclosing the relationship. If the pitch is a thinly veiled product placement or rehashes content that’s been done a hundred times elsewhere, it won’t land.
Do you charge for guest posts?
For editorial guest posts (unpaid contributions from practitioners with genuine expertise) the answer is no. For sponsored articles, link placements, and brand partnerships, yes. The two are different processes. Editorial route: write-for-me page. Sponsored route: sponsored-articles page.
What word count do you publish?
Editorial posts: 1,500 to 3,500 words is the sweet spot. Shorter than 1,200 words rarely justifies the editorial time. Longer than 4,000 words is fine for pillar pieces. Sponsored articles: similar ranges, agreed up front during the placement conversation.
What is the typical turnaround time?
For editorial pitches: response within three to six weeks, sometimes faster. If you don’t hear back within eight weeks, the answer is a polite no. Sponsored articles: agreement to publication is typically one to three weeks.
Can I include backlinks in my guest post?
One contextual backlink to your own site or relevant resource is fine in editorial posts. More than that starts to feel link-driven rather than reader-driven. Sponsored articles include the agreed link package, arranged during the placement conversation.
Do you accept AI-generated guest post drafts?
No. AI-generated drafts get rejected at the editorial review stage. I can spot AI writing within the first three paragraphs and I’m not interested in publishing it. AI is a fine first-draft research tool. The actual writing has to be human.
Where do I send my pitch?
Editorial pitches go through the form on the write-for-me page. Sponsored placement inquiries go through the form on the sponsored-articles page. Brand partnership inquiries go through partner-with-us. Sending the same pitch to all three routes is the fastest way to get added to the quiet block list.
