Write for Us Entertainment and Hobbies: Entertainment and Hobbies Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Entertainment and hobby pitches often arrive as a review of a game or app with no connection to why it matters to anyone running a business, or a listicle of streaming platforms copied from a comparison site. That tells a reader nothing they could not find themselves. What gets published instead is the story behind a hobby or a creator project: how it started, what it cost in time or money, and how it turned into something with real income or an audience attached.

I keep this section because plenty of my readers built their business out of something that started as a hobby, and they like reading about other people doing the same. My readers are business owners, marketers and agency people who are curious about creator culture, games and offline hobbies, and how a side project turns into real income. They read for the story and the honest numbers, not a product review.

60-second entertainment and hobbies guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Is this based on something you have done, not a general interest piece
• Does it connect to a business, income or audience outcome, even a small one
• Is it free of product review language and written as a personal account
• Is it original and not published anywhere else first
• Does it avoid promoting one app or platform as the point of the story

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A hobby or side project that grew into a real business, with the story of how
• Creator economy stories: what it takes to earn from streaming or content
• Games and gaming culture as they connect to marketing, community or business lessons
• Apps and tools people use offline, such as journalling, fitness or craft apps
• Streaming habits and platform choices, explained through a personal account
• Collecting, crafting or making as a hobby that turned commercial
• Podcasting or content creation as a hobby that became a small business
• Community building around a shared interest, and what it taught you about audiences
• Board games, tabletop or offline social hobbies and the people who run events around them

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

What we don't accept

• Generic reviews of a single game, app or platform with no personal story
• Listicles of tools or platforms with no first hand use behind them
• Posts written purely to promote a game, app or platform launch
• Previously published content, including your own blog or LinkedIn articles
• Content with no connection to business, marketing or audience building at all

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 entertainment and hobbies pitch looks like

A weak pitch says I'd like to write about the best streaming platforms for entertainment fans right now. A strong one says My board game hobby turned into a monthly event that now brings in enough to cover my rent, and I want to walk through how that happened. One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A hobby that became a paying side business, told with real detail
• A creator story that shows the unglamorous work behind an online audience
• A game or app used for something other than entertainment, such as focus or learning
• A community built around a shared interest and what it taught you about people
• An offline hobby that shaped how you think about your actual business

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept entertainment and hobbies guest posts?

Yes, entertainment and hobbies guest posts are accepted on this blog. We look for personal stories about games, streaming, creator projects or offline hobbies that connect to a business, an audience or real income. Generic reviews and listicles with no personal experience behind them are declined.

What entertainment and hobbies topics do you accept?

We accept posts on hobbies that grew into businesses, the creator economy, games and gaming culture, apps used for offline hobbies, streaming habits, collecting and crafting, podcasting, and community building around a shared interest. The common thread is a real personal story with a business or audience angle.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine where it fits naturally and adds value for the reader. We do not publish posts written purely for link building, and we will not link out to a commercial app, game or platform within the body of the post.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium or LinkedIn. Reworded or lightly edited republished content is declined, even if the hobby or project itself is a new one you have not written about before.

How do I submit an entertainment and hobbies guest post?

Pitch through the contact form before writing a full draft. Tell us the hobby or project, your personal experience with it, and the business or audience angle you plan to cover. We will confirm whether it is a fit before you invest time in the piece, so nothing goes to waste.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Sponsored posts and commercial partnerships are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If a game, app or platform wants to work with us commercially, say so on the contact form and you will get the right details back, rather than sending an editorial style pitch.

Do you publish reviews of games or apps?

Not as standalone reviews. A game or app can appear inside a personal story about a hobby, a creator project or a business lesson, but a post written mainly to review or promote one product will be declined, whatever the platform or genre in question.

What makes an entertainment and hobbies pitch more likely to be accepted?

A real personal story where a hobby, game or creator project led to something concrete, whether that is income, a community or a lesson you carried into your business. Pitches that read like a general interest article with no personal experience behind them are far less likely to be accepted.
