Write for Us Software: Software Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most software pitches are either a product page in disguise or a definition post: what is agile, what is an API, why testing matters. My readers do not need a glossary. What this blog wants instead is what happened when a real team chose a tool, changed a process or shipped a feature, and what it took and what it saved.

I've reviewed and used hundreds of software tools over the years, and my readers are the business owners and marketers who have to choose them and live with them. They read this blog to avoid expensive mistakes, so a software post has to come from someone who has used the thing in anger.

60-second software guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you used, built or bought the software you are describing
• Do you have a number: hours saved, adoption or revenue
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for your own tool or agency
• Could a business owner make a better decision after reading it

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Choosing between two tools after using both, with the deciding factor
• What a team learned building with AI coding assistants
• A no code or low code build that replaced a subscription tool
• Software buying mistakes and what went wrong
• Onboarding a team onto new software and getting them to use it
• Building and launching a small SaaS or plugin, with the numbers
• Integrations and automations that removed manual work
• Custom software versus off the shelf for a small business

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

What we don't accept

• Product pages rewritten as articles
• Posts that promote one tool, agency or outsourcing firm
• Definition posts with no experience behind them
• Previously published posts republished from another site
• Thin content under 800 words with no real project 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 software pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the benefits of custom software development for businesses." A strong one says "We replaced three subscription tools with one internal app built in a weekend with an AI coding assistant, and I want to show what it took, what broke and what we would not build ourselves again." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A tool decision with the losing option explained
• An AI assisted build, including what went wrong
• A rollout that staff adopted, and why
• A buying mistake and what it taught you
• A contrarian view on build versus buy

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept software guest posts?

Yes. Software guest posts are welcome from a developer, product manager, founder, QA lead or technical marketers and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline feature lists rewritten from a product page.

What software topics do you accept?

We accept tool comparisons from real use, AI coding assistants in practice, no code builds, software buying mistakes, team onboarding, launching a small SaaS or plugin, integrations that remove manual work, and build versus buy decisions. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of software.

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 software 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 software 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 software 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 replaced three subscription tools with one internal app built in a weekend with an AI coding assistant, and I want to show what it took, what broke and what we would not build ourselves again.
