Write for Us Personal Development: Personal Development Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Personal development content online is mostly quotes and morning routine lists. What this blog wants is the practical side: a habit or system someone used, what changed and how long it took, told by a person who applied it to their own work or with clients.

My readers run small businesses and many are coaches, consultants and course creators. They want to grow themselves and their business at the same time, so a personal development post has to come from someone who has done the work.

60-second personal development guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you applied what you describe yourself or with clients
• Do you have a real result, timeline or number
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one course or program

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A habit or system you used, with what changed and over what period
• Building a coaching or course business, with the numbers
• Getting clients results that last, with a real example
• Growing a personal development audience through content or email, with results
• Handling burnout, confidence or focus while running a business, from experience

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

What we don't accept

• Motivational quote lists and vague mindset advice
• Promotion of one course, program or coach
• Generic self help tips with no example
• 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 personal development pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten habits of highly successful people." A strong one says "I cut my working week from sixty hours to forty over three months by blocking two admin days and saying no to one type of client, so I want to show the calendar, the rule I used and what happened to revenue." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A habit with a measured result
• Building a coaching business
• Getting clients lasting results
• Growing an audience with email
• A contrarian view on hustle advice

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept personal development guest posts?

Yes. Personal development 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 motivational quote lists and vague mindset advice with no lesson for the reader.

What personal development topics do you accept?

We accept habits and systems with measured results, coaching and course businesses, client outcomes, growing a personal development audience, and handling burnout and focus while running a business. 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 a personal development 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 a personal development 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 a personal development 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: I cut my working week from sixty hours to forty over three months by blocking two admin days and saying no to one type of client, so I want to show the calendar, the rule I used and what happened to revenue.
