Write for Us: Share Your Social Media & YouTube Insights
Grew a channel from zero, cracked a Shorts format that finally took off, or figured out what a video's like-to-dislike ratio really tells you? Then you might be exactly the writer we're hoping to meet.
We're keen to publish creators, social media managers, video marketers, analysts, developers, and privacy-minded writers who can turn what they know into clear, friendly advice for someone just getting started.
Our articles cover YouTube, social platforms, video engagement, and online privacy, and every one of them is meant to be used, not just skimmed. We look for practical, well-researched writing in plain language, free from hype and factual errors. Take a few minutes to read the guidelines below before you hit send; it saves us both a round of back-and-forth.
Why Write for YouTube Dislike Viewer?
We're a small, independent team that started with one free tool: a viewer that reveals the hidden dislike count on any YouTube video. Since then we've added in-depth guides on engagement, creator tools, and platform changes. We aren't tied to any platform or agency, so what we publish stays focused on helping the reader rather than selling them something.
Readers who came to learn
Our visitors are creators, social media managers, marketers, and researchers looking for clear answers about YouTube and social platforms. They read closely because they want to use what you share.
Your name on your work
Every published article carries your byline and a short author bio with a link to your website or profile, so readers who like your piece can find more of what you do.
A careful second pair of eyes
Our editors check facts, compare figures with official sources, and suggest edits before anything goes live. You end up with a sharper piece than the one you sent.
A home that keeps getting read
We link new articles from related guides and from our dislike tool pages, so your work keeps meeting new readers long after its first week online.
What We'd Love You to Write About
If it helps someone grow, understand, or stay safe on YouTube and social media, it's probably a good fit. We cover far more than dislikes: analytics, strategy, platform features, tools, and the privacy questions that tie them together. Hands-on experience and a fresh angle matter far more to us than whatever happens to be trending this week.
Post Submission Guidelines
These rules keep every article on the site consistent and easy to read. Drafts that follow them move through review faster, while the ones that skip them usually come back with questions.
Word count and formatting
- Aim for 1,200 to 2,500 words, depending on how much the topic really needs.
- Keep paragraphs short, ideally two to four sentences each.
- Break the article up with clear H2 and H3 subheadings.
- Use lists, numbered steps, and tables wherever they make things easier to scan.
- Add screenshots to step-by-step tutorials so readers can follow along.
Language, tone and style
- Write in clear, natural English that a beginner can follow.
- Talk to the reader directly. "You" reads far better than "one".
- Explain platform jargon (CTR, AVD, RPM) the first time it appears.
- Skip long warm-up intros and get to the useful part quickly.
- Proofread before sending, and stick to either US or UK spelling.
Originality and quality
- Send original work that hasn't appeared anywhere else, online or in print.
- No plagiarism, spun text, or unedited AI output.
- Fact-check every statistic, date, and platform feature you mention.
- Cite trusted sources such as YouTube Help, official platform blogs, or published research.
- Only use images and screenshots you made yourself or have clear rights to share.
Keywords and SEO
- Pick one main keyword and use it naturally two or three times.
- Suggest a meta description under 160 characters.
- Include up to two links that genuinely help the reader.
- Choose a title that tells people exactly what they'll learn.
- Write for the reader first. We trim anything aimed only at search engines.

How to Find Social Media Sites That Welcome Contributors
Writing for us is a good start, but there's no reason to stop here. If you want to build a portfolio across the social media world, these search tricks help you find other blogs and magazines that are open to outside writers. Copy any query below, or open it straight in Google.
Use specific keywords
Pair a platform or topic with a phrase editors actually use on their submission pages. The tighter the topic, the more relevant the results.
Use advanced Google search operators
intitle: only returns pages with your phrase in the title, and inurl: looks for it in the web address. Type your own topic below or tap a preset, and every query updates instantly.
Explore specific social media niches
Broad searches are crowded. Narrow niches often surface smaller blogs that reply faster and value expert writers.
Explore related queries
Scroll to the bottom of any Google results page. "Related searches" and "People also search for" often reveal niche terms you hadn't thought of, such as "creator economy blog" or "YouTube SEO guest post".
Use Google's search suggestions
Start typing "youtube write for us" or "instagram guest post" and pause. The autocomplete list shows what other writers search for, and each suggestion can lead to a fresh list of sites.
How writers usually track down publishing opportunities
- Keep a simple spreadsheet of sites, contact emails, pitch dates, and replies.
- Follow editors and blogs you like on LinkedIn and X; many announce open calls there.
- Check the author bios of post submissions you admire to see where else those writers publish.
- Subscribe to the newsletters of blogs you want to write for so you know what they cover.
- Reuse your research, not your article. Every pitch should be a fresh piece.
Check a site before you pitch
- Topical fit: The site regularly covers YouTube, social media, or video, not everything under the sun.
- Real readers: Posts get comments, shares, or social engagement from real people.
- Editorial standards: Articles are edited well and aren't stuffed with unrelated outbound links.
- Fresh content: The site has published something in the last few weeks.
- Personal pitches: Read a few recent posts and tailor your pitch to that site's audience.
Write for Us: Your Questions Answered
What topics can I write about?
Anything that helps people understand YouTube and social media better: video engagement and analytics, creator growth, YouTube features and policy changes, social media marketing, short-form video, browser extensions, and online privacy.
Do I have to write about YouTube dislikes?
No. Dislikes are what our tool is known for, but we welcome any well-researched article on YouTube, short-form video, social platforms, and the creator economy, as long as it gives readers something useful.
How do I send you my article?
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Post Submission: [Your Article Title]". Attach a Google Doc link with comment access or a Word file, and send images as separate attachments.
How long should my article be?
Most accepted articles fall between 1,200 and 2,500 words. Go longer only when the topic genuinely needs it; we prefer a tight, complete guide over a padded one.
Can I include links to my own website?
Yes, up to two relevant links that add value for the reader, plus a link in your author bio. Links must point to genuinely helpful pages, not sales pages or unrelated sites.
Can I use AI to write my article?
You may use AI tools for research or outlining, but we do not accept unedited AI output. The article must reflect your own experience, voice, and fact-checking.
How long does the review take?
We usually reply within 5 to 7 working days. If we have not answered after two weeks, feel free to send a short follow-up.
Can I republish my article on my own blog?
Please don't republish the full article elsewhere once it is live with us. You are welcome to share a short excerpt with a link back to the published version.
How do I find other social media sites that accept contributions?
Search phrases like social media "write for us" or youtube "guest post", use operators such as intitle:"write for us", and check each site for topical fit, real readers, and recent posts before you pitch.
