Write for Us Social Media Marketing: Social Media Marketing Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, social media marketing guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a social media manager, strategist, agency owner or creator who's grown an account or run campaigns and can share one approach that worked and why. We decline growth hack lists, follower buying tactics, platform news rewrites and posts with no real account behind them.
Most of what turns up for a social media marketing write for us search is directory pages and thin guideline posts that accept anything mentioning Instagram. The pitches we receive are usually the same tips about posting times and hashtags, rewritten. What this blog wants is the person behind a real account: how a manager rebuilt a brand's content plan after reach dropped, why one LinkedIn approach brought in leads and another just brought in likes, how a small team keeps up a schedule without burning out.
My readers are business owners, freelancers and marketers who do their own social media or manage someone who does. They already lean on my guides to social media marketing strategies that work, a realistic social media schedule for a busy founder and LinkedIn content strategy for founders. A social post has to help them get results from the time they've got, not chase every trend. That's what I'm looking for.
60-second social media marketing guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you manage, grow or advise on social media accounts for brands
- Can you point to a campaign or account change and what happened next
- Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
- Have you kept out follower buying, engagement pods and other shortcuts
- Would a business owner doing their own social media be able to use it
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.
What we publish
- Rebuilding a content plan after reach drops
- LinkedIn for founders and service businesses, from people who've done it
- Turning social media attention into enquiries
- Short video for brands without a production team
- Running social media for clients as an agency or freelancer
- Community management and replying at scale
- Measuring social media without drowning in numbers
- Planning a month of content in one sitting
If your post could be published on any social media marketing site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

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 social media marketing pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten social media tips for small businesses." A strong one says "I manage social media for three local service brands, and I want to show how we moved from daily posting to three strong posts a week, the content type that started bringing in enquiries, and what we stopped measuring." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- What to change when a brand's reach suddenly drops
- Turning comments and messages into booked calls
- Short video formats that work for camera shy owners
- How an agency onboards a new social media client
- A content plan a solo founder can keep up
- Replying to criticism in public without making it worse
- Which social media numbers are worth watching
- Repurposing one idea across several platforms

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept social media marketing guest posts?
Yes. Social media marketing guest posts are welcome from social media managers, strategists, agency owners and creators who've grown real accounts. We publish practical, tested approaches and decline growth hacks, follower buying tactics and platform news rewrites.
What social media marketing topics do you accept?
Content planning, LinkedIn for founders, turning attention into enquiries, short video, agency social media work, community management and measurement. The common thread is something a busy business owner can put into practice.
Do you accept digital marketing or content marketing guest posts too?
Yes, but wider digital marketing and content marketing pitches suit those pages better. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: tested on real accounts, clearly explained and free of shortcuts.
How long should a guest post be?
Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.
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 for the reader 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. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.
Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?
You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.
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 does a decision take?
We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.
Do you edit guest posts before they go live?
Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.
Can I pitch more than one idea?
Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.
How do I submit a social media 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 managing or growing social media accounts for brands. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
