Write for Us Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Entrepreneurship content usually fails because it reads as advice from the outside rather than a lesson from someone who lived it. Readers can tell within a paragraph when a post describes what a founder is supposed to do rather than what one founder did, with the money, the mistake or the decision named. What this blog wants instead is one real story: a launch, a raise, a failure or a pivot, with the number and the reasoning behind it.

My readers are founders, first time and repeat, plus the marketers and operators who work alongside them. They come to entrepreneurship posts here for the story behind the outcome: how a raise really went, what a failed launch cost, what a founder would do differently. They have heard the general startup advice before; they want the specific decision and what it led to.

60-second entrepreneurship guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Did I found or help run the business in this post?
• Does the post name a real decision, number or outcome?
• Have I included what went wrong, not just what went right?
• Would another founder learn something they could use this week?
• Have I confirmed this has not been published anywhere else?

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 entrepreneurship pitch looks like

A weak pitch says I want to write ten tips for aspiring entrepreneurs. A strong one says I turned down an acquisition offer worth two million and want to write about why, and what happened to the business in the two years after. One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A funding round or rejection with the real numbers and reasoning
• A failure or shutdown with the specific cause and the lesson
• A pivot with what triggered it and what changed after
• A hiring decision or mis-hire with the cost and the fix
• A pricing or revenue model change with the measured result

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept entrepreneurship guest posts?

Yes, entrepreneurship guest posts are accepted on this blog. We publish first-hand pieces on founder lessons, funding, growth, failure and pivots, written by people who have run the business themselves. Generic startup advice with no real company or decision behind it is not what we are after.

What entrepreneurship topics do you accept?

Founder lessons from launches, pivots and failures, fundraising experiences, early stage decisions, hiring and team building, pricing and revenue model changes, exits and shutdowns, and the personal side of starting a business. The common thread is a real decision with a real outcome.

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 adds something for the reader in that spot. Posts written purely to build links, with no real story behind them, are not published. Keep it relevant, not bolted on for the sake of it.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission needs to be original and not published anywhere else, including your own blog, Medium or LinkedIn. Reworded or lightly edited republished content is declined. We check before anything goes live, so save the piece for a first outing here instead.

How do I submit?

Send your pitch through the contact form before writing a full draft. Include the business, the specific decision or story the post is built on, and your role in it. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you invest time in a full piece.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Sponsored and commercial partnerships are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are pitching on behalf of a fund, accelerator or brand for a paid placement, say so on the contact form and you will get the right process rather than an editorial reply.

How long should an entrepreneurship guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that land tend to run long enough to walk through one decision or story in real detail, usually around a thousand to fifteen hundred words. A real outcome matters far more than length.

What makes an entrepreneurship pitch stand out?

A specific decision with a number attached stands out immediately: money raised or turned down, a launch date missed, revenue before and after a pricing change. Editors want the reasoning behind the decision and what happened next, not general founder advice.
