Write for Us Shopify: Shopify Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Shopify content is a wall of app roundups. What this blog wants is a real store story: a conversion change, a retention flow, or a migration, with what it did to revenue.

My readers run or build Shopify stores. They want the change and the result, so a Shopify post has to teach from a real store, not an app list.

60-second Shopify guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you run the Shopify work you describe
• Do you have a conversion, revenue or cost result
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for an app, theme or agency
• Could a store owner copy your change this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A product page or checkout change and its effect on conversion
• An email or SMS flow that recovered revenue, with numbers
• A migration to or from Shopify and what it cost
• A theme or speed change and what it did to sales
• Cutting app bloat and the effect on performance and cost
• A launch or sale that worked, and the part that surprised you
• Retention and repeat purchase tactics with the data
• An SEO fix on a Shopify store, with the result

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

What we don't accept

• App listicles with no store behind them
• Posts that promote one app, theme or agency
• Dropshipping get rich stories with no numbers
• Previously published posts republished from another site
• Thin content under 800 words with no store behind it

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 Shopify pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best Shopify apps to install." A strong one says "We rebuilt our checkout to remove one required field and cut a step, and completed orders rose by a fifth on mobile, so I want to show the before and after and the field that was costing us." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A conversion change with the result
• A flow that recovered revenue
• A migration and its cost
• A change a store owner could copy this week
• A contrarian view on a Shopify habit

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept Shopify guest posts?

Yes. Shopify guest posts are welcome from a store owner, developer or marketers and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline app listicles.

What Shopify topics do you accept?

We accept conversion changes, email and SMS flows, migrations, theme and speed changes, cutting app bloat, launches, retention, and Shopify SEO. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of Shopify.

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 Shopify 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 Shopify 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 Shopify 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 rebuilt our checkout to remove one required field and cut a step, and completed orders rose by a fifth on mobile, so I want to show the before and after and the field that was costing us.
