Write for Us: Social Networking – Share Your Marketing Strategy Knowledge

Hey, welcome

So you found this page. That’s cool.

Here’s what’s actually happening. We run Automation ES because marketing moves at an insane speed, and most people are drowning in noise trying to keep up. When it comes to social networking strategy, everyone has an opinion. Still, very few people share what works, what fails spectacularly, and how to build a real strategy rather than just chasing trends.

Our readers? They’re marketers trying to stay relevant. They want to understand how social networking actually drives real business results. They want to know which platforms matter to their audience and which are just time-wasters. They’re looking for honest advice from people who’ve actually done the work—not influencer nonsense or agency fluff.

If you know social networking strategy, have built campaigns that moved the needle, and can explain it clearly without sounding like corporate marketing speak, we want you writing here. Whether you’re a social media manager, a content strategist, a marketing entrepreneur, or you’ve just spent years learning what actually works on different platforms, there’s definitely space for you.

This isn’t about getting more followers or gaming algorithms. It’s about an actual social networking strategy that helps businesses grow.

Who we’re looking for

Real talk? We’re selective, but not in a gatekeeping way. We need people who actually know their stuff.

If you fit any of these, we’d love to hear from you:

• Social media managers and strategists – You run actual campaigns that move metrics

• Content strategists – You understand how to build narratives across social networking platforms

• Growth marketers – You’ve scaled businesses using social networking strategy

• Influencers or content creators with real audiences – You understand platform dynamics

• Marketing agency pros – You’ve handled multiple client social networking strategies

• Entrepreneurs who’ve grown their business through social networking – You’ve lived this

• Data analysts or social listening experts – You know how to read what’s actually happening

• Anyone seriously studying social networking strategy – And can back it up with real results, not just theories

You don’t need a fancy certification (though it helps). Some of the best social networking strategy knowledge comes from people who’ve just spent years testing, failing, learning, and optimizing. What matters is that you genuinely know this stuff. Like, really know it. We can tell when someone’s just repeating what they read on Medium, and so can our readers.

Topics we’re genuinely hungry for

Look, I could list forever, but here’s what would actually resonate with Automation ES readers:

• Social networking strategy for different platforms – What actually works on LinkedIn vs TikTok vs Instagram

• Building audience through social networking – Real strategies, not fake hacks

• Content strategy for social networking – What to post, when, and why it matters

• Social networking for B2B marketing – Because the rules are totally different

• Community building through social networking – Creating actual loyalty, not just followers

• Crisis management and social networking – When things go wrong (they always do)

• Influencer partnerships and social networking – What actually works vs what’s a waste

• Paid social networking ads that actually convert – Budget strategy and optimization

• Analytics and metrics that matter – Most people track useless stuff

• Social networking for product launches – How to create buzz that sticks

• Engagement tactics that aren’t cringe – Genuine interaction, not performative nonsense

• Social networking for customer service – Turning complaints into loyalty

• Video strategy on social networking – Shorts, reels, long-form, live

• Hashtag strategy that actually works – Not just random keywords

• Real case studies of social networking strategy – What worked, what didn’t, numbers included

If you’ve got an angle that actually helps people build a real social networking strategy, pitch it. We’re not going to be difficult about it.

What we actually need from your article

Alright, so here’s what makes an article work for Automation ES:

Length: Aim for somewhere around 1,500 to 2,500 words. Shorter tactical guides? 1,000–1,200 is totally fine. Just don’t pad it with garbage to hit numbers. That’s lazy.

Talk like a real person: Write like you’re explaining social networking strategy to a colleague. Short sentences. Normal paragraphs that don’t go forever. No corporate marketing jargon. If you use a technical term, explain what it actually means.

Keep it original: Your article has to be actually yours. Not copying from other marketing blogs. Not rewriting agency websites and not stealing case studies or strategies. We want what’s in your brain. Your experience. Your real perspective.

Back your claims up: If you’re saying something about how social networking strategy works, show why. Use real examples, metrics, and your own campaigns. Just be honest about how you know what you know. Our readers appreciate transparency.

Make it readable: Use headings so readers can skim. Start with something that hooks them. End with actual action steps they can take. Don’t bury the good stuff in the middle.

Keywords should feel natural: Use “social networking” in your intro, in a heading or two, and somewhere near the end. But don’t force it. If it feels weird, it IS funny.

Link to our other stuff: When it makes sense, link to other Automation ES posts. Talking about marketing strategies? Maybe reference posts about Cross Market AI or Apps & Start Ups. Discussing automation in social strategy? Connect to relevant tech content. 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 makes people click (under 155 characters).

How to format your article

I know formatting sounds boring, but it actually matters when people are reading on their phones:

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

Keep paragraphs short: 2–4 sentences max. Long paragraphs don’t work. People read on mobile now.

Use lists: Bullets for tips, benefits, or lists—numbers for step-by-step processes. People love lists. Easy to scan.

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

Use real examples: Talk about actual social networking campaigns you’ve run or seen. Tell what worked, what failed. Way more interesting than theory.

Include screenshots or descriptions: If you mention social networking platforms or features, describe them clearly. Make it easy for readers to picture what you’re talking about.

The link rules (keeping it honest)

Here’s the deal:

Our articles: YES. Link to other Automation ES posts when relevant. Helps readers explore and helps us.

Legit marketing and tech resources: YES. Official platform docs, research reports, trusted marketing resources.

Your own coaching or products: NO. Don’t link to your social networking course or your marketing agency. We can tell.

Affiliate links: NO. No commissions disguised as helpful social networking advice. People see through it.

Promotional spam: NO. Random links to random marketing tools 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 person reading understand or execute social networking strategy better, include it. If it’s just promotional? Don’t do it.

Write us your author bio

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

• Your name and what you actually do in marketing or social networking

• Your experience building social networking strategy

• What you specialize in or what you’re known for

• Where people can find you online

Here’s an example:

Marcus has been running social networking campaigns for like 7 years now. He’s worked with startups and bigger brands and knows how different every platform is. He’s managed seven-figure social budgets and scaled businesses from scratch using social networking strategy. He actually shares what worked and what flopped. Find him on LinkedIn or his marketing blog.

How to actually submit your article

You wrote something solid. Now what?

Step 1: Email us your pitch first. Don’t send the whole article yet. Subject line: “Guest Article Pitch – Social Networking Strategy”

Tell us what the article’s about (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 quite right, we’ll be honest.

Step 3:Ensure it is well-crafted, sincere, and genuinely useful. Follow what I mentioned above. It may be good. Make it honest. Make it actually helpful.

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 small edits, might be bigger changes. 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. Automation ES exists because people like you share what they actually know. Every article helps someone. It might help them finally identify which social networking platform is worth their time. It could save them from spending money on ineffective campaigns. Maybe also give them the confidence to experiment with new approaches.

Social networking strategy information is everywhere, but a lot of it is either outdated, overhyped, or just trying to sell you a course. We’re trying to be different. Honest. Actually helpful. Actually practical.

If you care about helping people build real social networking strategy that moves actual business results, and you want an audience of people who will actually listen and take action, this is the place. I genuinely think what you know could change how someone approaches their social networking campaigns.
