Our 5-step publishing process

All our articles go through a simple pitching and publishing process. Follow the steps below to get started.
Submit your article or pitch

Submit a pitch using the form at the bottom of this page. Include an article outline that explains what you want to talk about: Be specific and mention why you have the necessary expertise and experience. You can also submit a finished article but we may choose not to publish the article or request that you make edits so it fits our style. With that in mind, we recommend starting with a pitch. If you want to be paid for your article, make it clear at this stage so we can iron out the details before starting.

Submission review

We read every submission and will respond within 14 business days if you are successful. We’ll then move on to the next steps. If you don’t hear from us within 14 days, your article wasn’t selected. This is usually due to the pitch not being a good fit for our audience or not following our editorial guidelines. We can’t provide personalized feedback, but you may submit a new guest post for consideration at any time.

The editing process

If your article is selected, our editorial team will contact you to get the writing process started. This typically includes finalizing your article outline or requesting edits if you sent an article draft. Once you’ve submitted a completed draft, we’ll make final edits and send you the finished article for your approval.

Promoting the article

We’ll publish your article and promote it in our newsletter and on social channels. We encourage you to share the article with your audience and engage readers in the comment discussions.

Payment

Once your article is published, we can start the payment process. You can send us an invoice with your details and we will send payments in USD via bank transfer or PayPal.

Submission form

Please complete the form and include a link to your draft or outline in a Google Doc.

By submitting this form, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Guest Writing Terms. MailerSend needs your personal information to process your submission. For more information about how we ensure the security of your data, read our Security Statement and Privacy Policy. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Frequently asked questions

Can I also publish the article on my blog?

We own all work published on our blog. In some cases, we’re happy for you to publish the article to your blog as long as you use a noindex tag so it doesn’t compete with our version on Google. You won’t be able to publish the article anywhere else if you receive payment.

How long does payment take?

You can invoice us as soon as the article is live. We aim to process all payments within 14 days.

Can I write more than one article?

We’re happy to publish multiple articles from a single author. Let us know your next good idea once we’ve published your first article.

Will the article be published in my name?

Yes, all guest articles are published in the name of the writer. This ensures you get full credit and exposure for the article.

Can I link to my website in the blog post?

You can include a link back to your website in some cases if the website meets our criteria. We reserve the right to remove links that aren’t necessary.

*Please send a pitch and get confirmation from our team before starting if you want to be paid for your article. We typically pay for content that we would have otherwise been happy to outsource.
