Write for Us Marketing Automation – Share Your Expertise With Our Community

Hey, Glad You’re Here!

So you found this page. That’s awesome.

Here’s what’s actually happening. We started Techies Times because marketing is getting more complicated, not simpler. Everyone’s talking about marketing automation now, but most people don’t actually understand how to use it. They’re buying tools, spending money, and not getting results. We wanted to create a space where people could actually learn this stuff. Real strategies. Tools. Real results.

Our readers? They’re marketers trying to stay ahead. They want to understand how marketing automation actually works. They’re trying to figure out which tools are worth buying and which are just hype. They want to know how to set up campaigns that actually convert without spending their whole budget. They’re looking for honest advice from people who’ve actually done this.

If you know marketing automation, if you’ve actually implemented campaigns and seen results, and you want to reach people who will actually listen—we want you here. Whether you’re a marketing manager, a digital marketer, a sales ops person, a marketing consultant, or you’ve just spent years learning this stuff and getting real wins, we should talk.

This is about fundamental strategies. Not generic advice. Not selling tools and actually helping people automate their marketing the right way.

Who Should Write for Us?

Real talk? We’re selective about who writes here, but not in a gatekeeping way. We need people who actually know what they’re doing.

If you fit any of these, we’re definitely interested:

• Marketing managers and digital marketers – People who actually run campaigns and see the results

• Marketing automation specialists – You know HubSpot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, whatever inside and out.

• Sales and marketing operations pros – You’ve built workflows and systems that actually work.

• Marketing consultants with real clients – You’ve helped businesses actually transform their marketing.

• Email marketing experts – You understand sequences, segmentation, and list building

• CRM specialists – You know how to connect marketing, sales, and customer data

• Growth marketers and demand gen professionals – You’ve actually driven revenue.

• Content marketers who understand automation – You see the bigger picture.

• Anyone who’s seriously studied marketing automation – And can back it up with real case studies or experience.

Here’s the thing—you don’t need a fancy certification (though it helps). Some of the best marketing automation knowledge comes from people who’ve just built campaigns, tested things, seen what works and what doesn’t. What matters is that you actually know this stuff. Like, really know it. We can tell when someone’s just reading marketing blogs and repeating stuff. Our readers can too.

• Lead nurturing strategies – How to actually move people through the funnel.

What We Actually Need From Your Article

Alright, so here’s what makes an article work for Techies Times:

Length: Aim for somewhere around 1,500 to 2,500 words. Shorter guides or how-tos? 800–1,200 is totally fine. Just don’t pad it with fluff to hit a word count. That’s super annoying to read.

Talk like a real person: Write like you’re explaining this to a colleague over coffee. Short sentences. Normal paragraphs. No corporate marketing speak. If you use a technical term, explain what it means. Not everyone’s been doing this for 10 years.

Keep it original: Your article must genuinely be yours—no copying from agency blogs, rewording tool documentation, or lifting content from competitors’ sites. We want what’s in your brain—your perspective.

Back your claims up: If you’re saying something works, show where that comes from. Your own experience? A case study? A client success? Just be honest about your source. Our readers appreciate transparency.

Make it readable: Use headings so people can scan it. Start with something that hooks them. End with actual, practical takeaways. Don’t bury the good stuff in the middle somewhere.

Keywords should feel natural: Your main topic (marketing automation or your specific angle) should show up naturally in the intro, in a heading or two, and at the end. But like, don’t force it. If it feels weird, it IS funny.

Link to our other content: When appropriate, link to other Techies Times articles. Talking about email marketing? Maybe reference another automation piece. Discussing tools? Link to something relevant. Helps readers find more and helps us, too.

Give us your SEO title and description: Tell us what you’d call it in Google (under 60 characters) and write something short that would make someone click (under 155 characters).

How to Format Your Article

I know formatting sounds boring, but it actually makes a huge difference when people are reading on their phones during their lunch break or at their desk:

Headings: Use H2 and H3. That’s it. Don’t go deeper. People need clear markers to know what they’re reading.

Keep paragraphs short: 2–4 sentences max. Long paragraphs don’t work on mobile anymore. People scan, they don’t read essays.

Use lists: Bullet Points for tips, benefits, or items—numbers for step-by-step stuff. People love lists. They’re quick to scan.

Bold the essential parts: If there’s something people really need to remember, bold it. Just don’t overdo it.

Use screenshots and examples: Got workflow screenshots? Automation setup examples? Include them. Make it visual. People learn better with visuals.

Tell real stories: Use actual case studies or examples from your experience. Show how this works in practice. Way more interesting than just theory.

Include tools and resources: Link to tools, templates, or resources that actually help. Make your article actionable.

The Link Rules (Keeping It Honest)

Here’s the deal with links:

Our articles: YES. Link to other Techies Times posts when relevant. Helps readers find more content and helps us.

Legit marketing and tech resources: YES. Official tool docs, research sites, and credible marketing resources.

Your own tools or courses: NO. Don’t link to your marketing automation course or your consulting business. We know what you’re doing.

Affiliate links: NO. No hidden commissions. People see through it, and it’s not cool.

Promotional spam: NO. Random links to products you don’t actually use? Nope.

Your website in your bio: YES. One link. Keep it professional and relevant.

Simple rule: If this link actually helps the reader, include it. If it’s just promotional? Please don’t do it.

Write Us Your Author Bio

At the end of your article, include a short author bio about yourself. Keep it real and honest. 50–100 words. Tell us:

• Your name and what you actually do in marketing/tech

• Any certifications or credentials you have

• What you specialize in or are known for

• Where can people find you online?

Here’s an example:

Jennifer’s a marketing automation manager who’s spent 8 years helping companies actually use their tools effectively. She’s worked with everything from HubSpot to Marketo and loves figuring out what automation can really do. She’s helped teams set up workflows that actually convert and save time. You can find her on LinkedIn or on her consulting website.

How to Actually Submit Your Article

You wrote something good. Now what?

Step 1: Email us your pitch first. Don’t send the whole article yet. Subject line: “Guest Article Pitch: [Your Headline Here].”

Tell us what the article’s about (a few bullet points), why our readers would care, and why you’re qualified to write it. Keep it short—one paragraph max.

Step 2: Wait for us to get back to you. Usually takes like 5–7 business days. If we like your idea, we’ll say yes. If it’s not right for us, we’ll be honest.

Step 3: Write the full article. Follow what I mentioned above. Make it good. It’s honest. Make it actually useful.

Step 4: Send it as a Google Doc or Word file. Include your SEO title, meta description, author bio, and notes about where internal links should go.

Step 5: We review it. Might be minor tweaks, might be bigger edits. We’ll let you know what’s happening and when it goes live. Then you can share it everywhere.

That’s it. Pretty straightforward.

Why We Actually Need You

Here’s the honest part. Techies Times exists because people like you share what they actually know. Every article helps someone. Maybe it helps them finally get their marketing automation set up right. It may save them from buying a tool they don’t need. Perhaps it helps them understand how actually to use what they already have.

Marketing automation information is everywhere, but much of it is outdated, overly complicated, or just plain wrong. We’re trying to be different. Honest. Actually helpful. Actually practical.

If you care about helping people master marketing automation and want an audience that will actually listen and take action, this is the place. I genuinely think what you know could change how someone approaches their marketing.
