So you’ve got tech knowledge and want to share it with people who’ll actually care? Perfect. That’s exactly what we’re looking for.
We run this technology blog, and honestly, we’re always hunting for writers who can bring something real to the table. Not the usual recycled content everyone’s seen a thousand times. Fresh perspectives. Stuff that actually helps people figure things out.
Whether you’re a developer who just cracked a tricky problem, someone who’s been in cybersecurity for years, or you just understand AI better than most—we want to work with you.
Why Bother Writing for Another Blog?
Fair question. You’ve got your own platforms, right? Maybe your own blog, LinkedIn, Medium. So why write for us?
People Will Actually Read Your Stuff
Here’s what makes us different. Our audience isn’t random. These are folks who come here specifically because they need tech solutions. They’re learning new frameworks, trying to advance their careers, keeping up with industry changes.
Last month we had readers from 47 countries. Developers, IT managers, students, entrepreneurs. When you publish here, you’re not shouting into the void. Real people see it, use it, share it with their teams.
I can’t tell you how many times contributors have told us someone reached out months after an article went live, saying it helped them finally understand something they’d been struggling with. That’s the kind of reach we’re talking about.
Build Your Reputation (Without the Sleazy Self-Promotion)
Nobody likes that person who only posts about themselves. But guest posting? That’s different. You’re providing value first.
When people keep seeing quality content from you, they remember your name. They start following your work. Suddenly you’re not just another developer—you’re someone who explains things clearly and knows their stuff.
We’ve seen contributors here land speaking gigs, get approached for consulting work, even get job offers because the right person read their article. Can’t promise that’ll happen to you, but I’ve watched it happen enough times to know it’s not just luck.
Yeah, the Backlinks Help Too
Let’s not pretend that’s not part of it. We give dofollow links, and yes, they’re good for your SEO. Your site gets more authority, better search rankings, referral traffic.
But here’s the deal—if your article sucks and you’re just chasing links, readers can tell. We can tell. And it won’t get published anyway.
Write something genuinely useful first. The SEO benefits are a nice bonus, not the main event.
You’ll Connect With Other Writers and Industry People
Some of my best professional relationships started with content. You write something, someone reaches out, you end up collaborating on a project or just staying in touch.
Tech feels like a huge industry until you actually start participating. Then you realize how connected everyone is. Guest posting is probably the easiest way in.
Plus, you get to work with our editorial team, meet other contributors, join conversations about where tech is heading. It’s worth more than you’d think.
What We Want to Publish
We’re open to most tech topics, but some things work better than others. Here’s what our readers are into:
1 Actual coding help: Tutorials that walk through real problems. Not “here’s what Python is” but “here’s how I fixed this annoying bug in my Django app.” Share battle scars. People learn more from seeing how you worked through something than from theoretical explanations.
2 AI stuff that’s actually useful: Everyone’s writing about ChatGPT and AI these days. Most of it’s hype. If you’re actually building with AI, implementing ML models, solving real problems—that’s what we need. Show us what works in practice.
3 Security and privacy advice: Data breaches happen constantly. People are worried about their information. If you know how to actually secure systems, protect data, or understand compliance regulations, our readers need that knowledge.
4 Cloud and DevOps: This stuff gets complicated fast. Container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code. If you can explain it without making people’s eyes glaze over, you’re valuable.
5 New tech on the horizon: Blockchain, IoT, quantum computing, AR/VR. If you’re working with emerging tech and can explain it clearly, pitch us.
6 Career navigation: Getting into tech, switching roles, dealing with interviews, handling imposter syndrome. The human side of working in this industry.
Bottom line—if you’ve got expertise in something tech-related and can write about it without putting people to sleep, we probably want it. Send us your idea and we’ll let you know.
Guidelines (Not Trying to Be Difficult)
These aren’t meant to be a pain. Just helps us maintain quality so people keep reading.
What Makes a Good Submission
Original work only: Needs to be content you wrote that hasn’t been published anywhere else. We run plagiarism checks because we have to, but also because copied content is useless to everyone.
Give it enough depth: Somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 words usually hits the sweet spot. Long enough to actually explain something properly, not so long people give up halfway through.
Get the facts right: Tech articles need accuracy. If you’re explaining how something works, it better actually work that way. Test your code examples. Verify your information. Mistakes damage credibility fast.
Make it actionable: Someone should finish your article and be able to actually do something with what they learned. Include examples. Show the steps. Don’t just explain concepts in abstract terms.
Format for readability: Nobody wants to read giant blocks of text. Use subheadings. Break up paragraphs. Add bullet points where they help. Include code snippets, screenshots, diagrams when relevant.
Consider SEO naturally: Work in relevant keywords where they fit. Write a decent meta description. But don’t force it. Keyword stuffing is obvious and annoying.
What We Won’t Publish
Being upfront here—some things just don’t work:
- Content that’s basically an advertisement for your product
- Stuff copied or spun from other articles
- Articles riddled with typos and grammar issues
- Shallow content that doesn’t actually teach anything
- Keyword-stuffed garbage that reads like a robot wrote it
- Topics completely unrelated to technology
- Offensive or discriminatory content
Links and All That
You get two dofollow links:
- One contextual link somewhere in the article (has to be relevant)
- One link in your author bio to your website or portfolio
Key thing—links should help readers, not just game SEO. If it feels shoehorned in, we’ll probably ask you to remove it.
How Guest Post Actually Works
Keeping it simple. Nobody has time for complicated processes.
1 Pitch first, write later: Don’t spend hours writing a full article that might not fit. Send us a quick pitch—a few paragraphs about what you want to cover and why it’s useful. Throw in any relevant experience or writing samples you’ve got.
2 We’ll respond pretty quick: Usually takes 3-5 days to review pitches. We’ll either approve it, suggest modifications, or explain why it’s not right for us. Don’t take rejections personally. Sometimes timing’s just off.
3 Then you write it: Once we greenlight your pitch, you’ve got a couple weeks to finish the article. Don’t rush it. Good writing takes time.
4 We’ll review and probably suggest edits: Our team will read through and might recommend changes for clarity, structure, or SEO. It’s collaborative. We want your article to be as strong as possible.
5 We publish it: After any necessary revisions, we’ll schedule it to go live. You’ll get notified, and then definitely share it around. Your audience will want to see it.
What Contributors Actually Get From This
Real examples from people who’ve written for us:
Traffic jumps are common. Contributors typically see 20-40% increases in website traffic after their article publishes. Some pieces keep driving traffic for months.
Career opportunities happen. One writer got a consulting contract because a startup founder read their article. Another got invited to speak at a conference. Someone else literally got headhunted for a senior role.
You build connections. Other writers reach out. You end up on podcasts. People ask you to collaborate on projects.
And honestly? A lot of contributors say it just made them better writers. Learning to explain complex technical stuff clearly is a skill that helps everywhere.
How to Write Guest Posts That Get Published
Been reviewing submissions for a while now. Here’s what separates the ones that get published from the ones that don’t:
Address real problems: Don’t write about what interests you academically. Write about problems people are actually facing. Check Reddit threads, Stack Overflow questions, Twitter conversations. See what people are stuck on.
Bring your unique perspective: There are already articles on most topics. What’s your angle? What experience can you share that adds something new?
Show your work: Examples, code snippets, screenshots, real case studies. Abstract explanations only go so far. Show people how it actually works.
Write like you’re talking to someone: Drop the academic tone. Explain it like you would to a colleague at lunch. Be clear, but be yourself.
Edit ruthlessly: First drafts are always rough. Read it out loud. Cut unnecessary words. Fix typos. Get someone else to read it if you can. Polish matters.
Verify everything: Check your facts. Make sure code examples actually run. Cite sources. Technical accuracy isn’t optional.
Common Questions
Do you pay writers? No, this is unpaid. The value comes from exposure, backlinks, portfolio building. Think of it as marketing yourself.
How long until I hear back? Usually 3-5 days for pitches. About a week or so for full articles. Sometimes longer if things get busy.
Can I publish the same article on my blog? We need exclusive content, so no identical versions elsewhere. But you can write a different version or share excerpts with a link back.
What if my pitch gets rejected? Happens to everyone. Could be topic overlap, timing, fit with our audience. We try to give feedback. Feel free to pitch something else.
What about affiliate links in articles? Generally no. Product recommendations are fine if they’re genuinely helpful and not promotional. Use judgment.
Who owns the copyright? You do. You grant us exclusive publishing rights, but you retain copyright and get author credit.
How do I format code snippets? Use proper syntax highlighting. Specify the language. Keep examples focused. Explain what’s happening in the code.
Do I need to be an expert to contribute? Not necessarily. Some great articles come from people documenting their learning process. If you provide value and get facts right, your experience level matters less than you think.
Let’s Do This
If you’ve read this far, you’re probably considering it. Good.
We need more real voices in tech content. Less marketing speak, fewer recycled articles, more actual insights from people building things.
Got an idea? Pitch it. Tell us what you want to write about and why someone should care. Include a bit about your background if you want.
Worst case, we say no and you pitch something else. Best case, you publish something that helps hundreds or thousands of people while building your own profile.
