Write for Us | Contribute to Express Analytics

Write for us: yes, you. We saved you a byline.

Thank you for considering Express Analytics a good home for your ideas, genuinely. We treat guest posts as a collaboration: you bring the firsthand insight on AI, analytics, and data; we bring careful editing, readers who actually do this work, and proper promotion when it ships.

And since you're wondering: no, we don't pay for guest posts. But we don't charge for them either.

What's in it for you

Fair question. Here's the honest answer:

01 One dofollow bio link.

Your name, your photo, your bio, and a dofollow link to your site or LinkedIn. Branded anchor only: your name or your company, not "best analytics software 2026." (Nice try, though.)

02 An editor, not a content mill.

We're a small team, which is your advantage: every accepted piece gets a real editorial pass: structure, clarity, accuracy, until it's the strongest version of your argument. The more we polish together, the further it travels.

03 The right readers, not just readers.

Your piece lands in front of people who do the work you're writing about, via our blog, newsletter, and social channels.

04 We promote what we publish.

LinkedIn, X, Facebook, newsletters. And we'll ask you to share it proudly on your channels too, if you wouldn't, that tells us both something.

Who we're looking for

Fair question. Here's the honest answer:

A public professional presence

LinkedIn, a personal site, or a newsletter we can peek at

Firsthand experience

you actually built the model, ran the campaign, cleaned the data at 2 a.m.

Pride in the work

you'd happily share the published piece on your own channels

A business email

pitches from gmail/ hotmail/ aol/ yahoo or any personal address are filtered out automatically. It's not personal; it's a spam thing.

If you just nodded four times, keep scrolling. We already like you.

The AI policy

Can I use AI to write my guest post?

Yes, as a tool, not as the author. We build AI products ourselves, so we're not going to pretend the technology doesn't exist. So here's the actual policy:

The one question our editors ask:

Did this writer add something only they could add: their own data, their own experience, their own judgment? If the answer is no, we decline the piece. That's the whole test.

Totally fine:

Contributor terms

Originality & ownership

The work is yours, unpublished anywhere, and you have rights to every image, data point, and quote in it.

License & exclusivity

You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, edit, and promote the piece with your name on it. You stay the author. (Note: a license, not an assignment, we don't confiscate your copyright.)

Editing & links

We edit for clarity, accuracy, style, length, and SEO, and may refresh the piece over time. We'll preserve your intent; we just really like commas in the right places. Governed by the link policy above, we may change link attributes at any time, including after publication.

No money changes hands

We don't pay for posts, and we don't accept payment to publish them. Either direction, the answer is no.

Removal & accountability

We may decline, unpublish, or remove content at our discretion (e.g., if claims stop being true or sources rot). Rare, but we keep the right. You're accountable for every fact, whatever tools helped you write. Fabricated facts or plagiarism mean removal and a permanent ban.

Your data & no guarantee

Form info is used to evaluate your pitch and talk to you about it. A pitch doesn't guarantee feedback or publication. We read everything; we can't publish everything.

Guest posting FAQ

Do you pay for guest posts? Can I pay you to publish my post or link?

No, and we don't charge for them either. The value is the byline, the link, the audience, and the editing. Sponsored placements aren't part of this program, and "but what if..." is still no.

Can I republish my article on my own blog later?

Not without written consent (and a canonical link if we agree). It keeps search engines from getting confused about who said it first.

Can I pitch from a Gmail address?

No, business or institutional email only. The form will catch it anyway, so save yourself the retype.

How long until I hear back?

Five business days if we're interested. Ten days of silence = a pass, with our genuine apologies and zero hard feelings.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Absolutely — one form submission per idea, please. The queue thanks you.
