Write for Us Online Business: Online Business Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Online business content is full of screenshots of income and very little of how the work gets done. What this blog wants is the working detail: how you found customers, what you sell, what broke and what you changed, from someone who runs an online business every day.

My readers run small businesses and side hustles online, or want to. They want to find customers, sell without being pushy and keep the workload sane, so an online business post has to show the real process, not a promise.

60-second online business guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you run the online business you describe
• Do you have a real result, a customer number or a before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one platform or programme

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How you found your first hundred customers online, step by step
• A product, course or service launch, what sold and what did not
• The systems that let you run an online business in fewer hours
• Moving an offline business online, with the before and after
• A channel that stopped working and what replaced it

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

What we don't accept

• Get rich quick posts and income claims without proof
• Promotion of one platform, course or programme
• Generic online business tips anyone could write
• 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 online business pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about how anyone can start an online business." A strong one says "My printable planner shop went from twelve to ninety orders a month after I rewrote every listing around the question buyers asked most, so I want to show three listings before and after and the questions I pulled them from." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Finding the first customers online
• A launch and what sold
• Running it in fewer hours
• Taking an offline business online
• A contrarian view on passive income

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept online business guest posts?

Yes. Online Business 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 get rich quick posts, income claims with no proof.

What online business topics do you accept?

We accept starting and growing an online business, ecommerce, digital products and courses, finding customers online, systems and automation, and moving a local business online. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.

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 an online business 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.

How long should an online business guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes an online business 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: My printable planner shop went from twelve to ninety orders a month after I rewrote every listing around the question buyers asked most, so I want to show three listings before and after and the questions I pulled them from.
