Business owners and entrepreneurs are time-poor by definition. If you have practical expertise in productivity, systems, or tools that help people get more done with less, our audience wants to hear it.
Short answer: yes, productivity guest posts are accepted, provided the system is one you personally use. A workflow you have run for months, with what it replaced and what it costs you, works well. A round-up of apps you have never opened does not. One contextual link back to your own site is fine.

I'm Lilach Bullock, and productivity is a topic I'm obsessed with — especially where it intersects with AI and automation. Our readers are entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners who want to work smarter, remove bottlenecks, and build businesses that don't depend on working longer hours.
What We're Looking For
We publish productivity content that delivers immediate, practical value. Topics include:
- Productivity systems and frameworks for business owners and entrepreneurs
- Time management strategies that actually work in a busy business
- Tool guides and comparisons — project management, task management, note-taking
- Automation workflows that remove repetitive work
- AI tools for productivity — how to use them for real business tasks
- Focus, deep work, and avoiding distraction in a noisy world
- Delegation, outsourcing, and building systems that don't rely on you
- Morning routines, planning systems, and operating rhythms for founders
Specific is better than general. Content that walks through a real system, tool, or workflow with concrete steps consistently outperforms high-level advice. If you can show the reader exactly what to do, it will perform well here.
Got tips for social media? We'd be happy to see your contributions on that topic too.
What We Don't Accept
- Motivational content with no actionable takeaways
- Content published elsewhere
- Vague productivity tips without specific tools or steps
- Content created purely for link building with no real value to readers
What You Get
- Your content in front of a global audience of business owners and entrepreneurs
- A quality backlink from an established domain
- Author bio with a link back to your website
- Social media promotion across our channels

We welcome contributors with genuine hands-on experience in productivity systems, tools, and workflows — particularly those who have applied these in a business context.
Before you pitch, it is worth reading our full guest post guidelines.
Why most productivity content fails our readers
Because it is written by people whose only job is writing about productivity. Our readers run businesses. They do not need another system to maintain. They need the one change that removes an hour a week and then stays out of the way.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
Pitches that get accepted
- A workflow you have actually kept for more than a month
- A tool that replaced three others, and what you gave up
- What you tried and abandoned, and why
- Time-tracking or automation with the real numbers behind it
- How to run a week when everything is urgent
What we do not publish
Morning-routine content. Systems that take longer to maintain than they save. Anything that requires buying five apps. If it only works for someone with no meetings and no clients, it does not work here.
Frequently asked questions
What productivity topics do you accept guest posts on?
Topics that work well on this site include: time-blocking systems, focus and deep-work practices, AI productivity tools, calendar and task systems, the productivity habits that actually work for entrepreneurs. The bar for acceptance is original first-hand experience and a specific angle.
What productivity topics don't you accept?
Topics that get binned include: generic life-hack content, anything pitching a productivity coach without credentials, anything pitching a subscription tool as the answer to a habit problem. If the pitch is a thinly veiled product placement or rehashes content that's been done a hundred times elsewhere, it won't land.
Do you charge for guest posts?
For editorial guest posts (unpaid contributions from practitioners with genuine expertise) the answer is no. For sponsored articles, link placements, and brand partnerships, yes. The two are different processes. Editorial route: write-for-me page. Sponsored route: sponsored-articles page.
What word count do you publish?
Editorial posts: 1,500 to 3,500 words is the sweet spot. Shorter than 1,200 words rarely justifies the editorial time. Longer than 4,000 words is fine for pillar pieces. Sponsored articles: similar ranges, agreed up front during the placement conversation.
What is the typical turnaround time?
For editorial pitches: response within three to six weeks, sometimes faster. If you don't hear back within eight weeks, the answer is a polite no. Sponsored articles: agreement to publication is typically one to three weeks.
Can I include backlinks in my guest post?
One contextual backlink to your own site or relevant resource is fine in editorial posts. More than that starts to feel link-driven rather than reader-driven. Sponsored articles include the agreed link package, arranged during the placement conversation.
Do you accept AI-generated guest post drafts?
No. AI-generated drafts get rejected at the editorial review stage. I can spot AI writing within the first three paragraphs and I'm not interested in publishing it. AI is a fine first-draft research tool. The actual writing has to be human.
Where do I send my pitch?
Editorial pitches go through the form on the write-for-me page. Sponsored placement inquiries go through the form on the sponsored-articles page. Brand partnership inquiries go through partner-with-us. Sending the same pitch to all three routes is the fastest way to get added to the quiet block list.
