Write for Us Watches: Watch Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most watch content repeats the same specifications and brand histories. What this blog wants is the view from inside the trade: how a small watch brand found its first buyers, how a dealer spots a fake, why some watches hold their value, and how luxury and smartwatch brands build loyalty. Real stories with real numbers, told by people who do the work.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers, and many of them are interested in how premium brands are built and sold. A watch post should teach them something about craft, trust, pricing or brand building that they can take back to their own business.

60-second watches guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you make, sell, service, collect or market watches
• Can you share a real example, number or customer story
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Would a reader learn something they could use or check
• Have you removed any pitch for one brand, dealer or listing

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

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 watches pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the history of luxury watches." A strong one says "I have authenticated over two thousand pre-owned watches for our shop, so I want to show the six checks that catch most fakes and the paperwork buyers should always ask for, with photos from real cases." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• How a microbrand sold out its first watch run

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept watch guest posts?

Yes. Watch guest posts are welcome from watchmakers, dealers, collectors and brand owners who can share first-hand experience. We publish practical articles and decline copied specifications and brand promotion.

What watch topics do you accept?

Watch brands and marketing, pre-owned trading, authentication, servicing and care, smartwatches at work, collecting, microbrands, pricing, gifting and building trust with buyers online.

Do you accept smartwatch guest posts?

Yes, when they come from real use over time, ideally in a work or business setting, and say what did not work as well as what did.

Is this different from the jewellery guest post page?

Yes. This page is only about watches and the watch trade. Rings, necklaces and other jewellery pitches suit the jewellery page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

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 watch 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 in the watch world. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
