Write for Us Investment: Investment Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most investment pitches either promise returns nobody can promise or explain compound interest for the hundredth time. What this blog wants is the working view from someone who manages a portfolio or a business balance sheet: how a founder decided what to do with spare business reserves, how a small firm set up a pension scheme its team uses, how an adviser explains risk to a nervous first time investor.

My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers, and a lot of them are working out what to do with what their business makes. They already read my guides to why a business might invest in technology stocks and laddering versus lump sum time deposits. An investment post has to help them make a calmer, better informed decision, without telling them what to buy.

60-second investment guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you advise on, analyse or manage investments yourself, or invest as a business owner
• Can you explain one decision with the reasoning behind it, not just the outcome
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you avoided any promise of returns or any tip on what to buy
• Would a business owner with no finance background follow it

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we look for in investment posts

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

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Business reserves	The options a founder weighed and why one won	A list of products with no decision behind it
Pensions	How a self employed reader sets one up and keeps it going	Generic retirement advice copied from a provider
Risk	A plain English way to judge how much risk fits	Charts with no explanation of what they mean
Behaviour	A mistake you made or saw, and what fixed it	Motivational quotes about patience
Angel investing	What you checked before backing a small business	A pitch for your own fund or platform

What we don't accept

• Stock picks, targets or calls on what to buy next
• Posts that promise or imply guaranteed returns
• Crypto or trading hype with no balance or risk warning
• 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 investment pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best stocks to buy right now." A strong one says "I advise founders who sell their business, and I want to show the three questions I ask before any of them invests, with a real (anonymised) case and the decision it changed." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• What a founder should do before investing business reserves
• Pensions for the self employed, explained simply
• The behaviour mistakes that hurt new investors most
• How to read a fund factsheet in ten minutes
• Angel investing: what you learn from your first deal
• Talking about risk with a nervous first time investor
• Diversification for people with one big asset: their business
• What an adviser checks before saying yes to a plan

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept investment guest posts?

Yes. Investment guest posts are welcome from advisers, analysts, portfolio managers and founders who invest and can explain a real decision in plain English. We publish practical, balanced articles and decline tips, hype and anything that promises returns.

What investment topics do you accept?

Investing business reserves, pensions for founders and the self employed, risk explained simply, savings and fund products compared, investor behaviour and angel investing. The common thread is a clear decision a business owner can learn from.

Do you accept trading or forex guest posts too?

Yes, but active trading pitches suit the trading and forex pages better. Every pitch reaches the same editor and the same rule applies: balanced, practical and no promises.

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 investment 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 advising on, analysing or managing investments. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
