Write for Us ERP: ERP Blog Guest Post Guidelines

A search for ERP guest post guidelines brings back a few ERP blogs, and roughly a third of the results are Medium and LinkedIn posts, so writers end up pitching blind. Most ERP pitches we see read like a vendor's product page. What this blog wants is the view from someone who has lived through a rollout: how a growing company knew it had outgrown spreadsheets and accounting software, what a consultant asks before recommending any system, how a team cleaned its data before the migration rather than after.

My readers are business owners and operators, and many of them are one hire away from needing a single system for stock, orders and finance. They already compare options in my guides to ERP software for small business and NetSuite alternatives. An ERP post has to help them choose and roll out a system without losing a quarter to it.

60-second ERP guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you choose, implement or run ERP systems for your own or client businesses
• Can you explain one decision with the trade offs, not just the features
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you kept vendor promotion and affiliate links out
• Would an owner of a growing business follow it without a consultant on call

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Signs a business has outgrown spreadsheets and basic accounting tools
• Choosing an ERP: the questions to ask before any demo
• Data clean up and migration lessons from real rollouts
• Training staff so the new system gets used
• ERP for manufacturing, wholesale and ecommerce businesses
• Cloud ERP compared with on premise, for smaller teams
• Integrations with CRM, ecommerce and payroll tools
• What goes wrong in year one and how teams recover

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

What we look for in ERP posts

These are the ERP topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Selection	The questions you asked and why one system won	A ranked list of vendors with no criteria
Implementation	A rollout you led, with what went wrong	A generic project plan template
Data migration	How you cleaned and moved data, step by step	Advice to just import everything
Training	How you got staff to use the system	Telling readers to read the manual
Integrations	Connecting ERP to tools a team already uses	A promo for one connector

What we don't accept

• Vendor promos or posts that only mention one product
• Feature lists copied from a brochure or comparison site
• Rollout advice from someone who hasn't run a rollout
• Thin posts under 800 words with no first hand experience
• Previously published posts republished from another site

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 ERP pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top ten ERP systems for businesses." A strong one says "I led the ERP rollout at a small manufacturer, and I want to show the three questions that knocked two vendors out, how we cleaned our product data before go live, and what we'd do differently with training." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• The moment a business needs an ERP and not just better spreadsheets
• Questions to ask in an ERP demo that vendors don't expect
• Cleaning your data before migration, not after
• Getting staff to use a new system in the first month
• ERP for a small manufacturer: what matters and what doesn't
• Connecting ERP with ecommerce and CRM without a mess
• Choosing an implementation partner
• The year one problems nobody warns you about

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept ERP guest posts?

Yes. ERP guest posts are welcome from consultants, implementation leads, finance and operations managers and systems analysts. We publish practical articles about choosing, rolling out and running ERP systems, and decline vendor promos and brochure style feature lists.

What ERP topics do you accept?

Knowing when to move to ERP, choosing a system, data migration, staff training, ERP for manufacturing and ecommerce, cloud compared with on premise, integrations and year one problems. The common thread is a decision a growing business has to make.

Do you accept CRM, accounting or business software guest posts too?

Yes, but CRM, accounting and wider software pitches suit the manufacturing and digital transformation pages, or the software pages on the site. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: lived experience, balanced and free of promotion.

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 ERP 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 choosing, implementing or running ERP systems. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
