Marketing Write for Us: Guest Post Guidelines

Most marketing pitches fail because they could have been written by anyone. Editors see the same angles every week: why content matters, why you need a funnel, ten tips to grow your brand. What this blog wants is one campaign, one channel or one decision, and what changed because of it, told by the person who made it happen.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers, many of them running marketing on their own or with a small team. They want to know what to do next week with the budget and time they have, so a marketing post has to be specific enough to copy.

60-second marketing guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Did you run the campaign, test or strategy you are writing about
• Can you share a real number, screenshot or before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Would a small business owner know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any pitch for your own tool, agency or course

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Marketing campaigns you ran, with the results and what you would change
• Channel lessons across SEO, email, social, content and paid, from hands on work
• Marketing strategy for small businesses on a tight budget, with real examples
• Positioning, messaging and brand work that changed how customers responded
• Marketing measurement and reporting that helped someone make a better decision

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

What we don't accept

• Generic marketing tips and trend round ups
• Promotion of one tool, agency or course
• Posts rewritten from other marketing blogs
• 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 marketing pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten marketing tips every business should follow." A strong one says "We cut our paid social budget by half and moved it into a monthly customer webinar, and qualified leads went up by a third in one quarter, so I want to show the plan, the invite emails and the numbers." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A campaign that worked, with the numbers
• A channel you stopped using and why
• Marketing on a small budget
• Messaging that changed conversion
• A contrarian view on a popular tactic

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept marketing guest posts?

Yes. Marketing guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline generic tips and trend round ups with no first hand experience behind them.

What marketing topics do you accept?

We accept marketing strategy, campaigns, SEO, email, social media, content, paid advertising, positioning and measurement. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of marketing.

Is this different from the digital marketing guest post page?

This page covers marketing as a whole, including offline campaigns, positioning and strategy. If your post is purely about one digital channel, the digital marketing, social media or email marketing pages may suit it better, but either route reaches the same editor.

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 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 under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a marketing 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 doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

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.

What makes a marketing pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: We cut our paid social budget by half and moved it into a monthly customer webinar, and qualified leads went up by a third in one quarter, so I want to show the plan, the invite emails and the numbers.
