Guest Posts on A.I. Supremacy
How to write a guest post for us - format, details, contacts
Hello there,
✍🏻 Respected writer and Newsletter author.
Doing guests posts on this Newsletter has been extremely fulfilling. It’s not the job of a traditional editor, but somehow it feels engaging in the spirit of peer collaboration.
🙏 thank you so much for considering doing a Guest piece in A.I. Supremacy, that reaches an audience of 28,000 readers.
If it’s a great piece, I also share it on my LinkedIn Newsletter, with over 200,000 readers. This may result in some modest traffic to your Newsletter, profiles and new sign-ups.
While we are an A.I. focused Newsletter, we actively seek out and appreciate intersectional writing at the intersection of a Venn diagram of your topic and A.I. Your topic could be anything. Such as:
Education
Healthcare
Society
Product
Journalism
Media, etc….

My LinkedIn profile is here.
Finally, I will need your Email address to send you the invite to be the author of the post.

Questions?
There is no right or wrong deliverable, we won’t be editing the piece. It is entirely your creation, and you can re-publish it 10 days after the piece goes live if you choose to.
Editorial Oversight
The piece should have a strong title and subtitle and I reserve the right to change it.
Topics must also be agreed on beforehand, typically I am giving/suggesting/recommending a specific topic I want based on an analysis of your body of work, background, previous Newsletter posts.
You can pitch me, but usually I will be finding and pitching you.
You can also pitch me on Notes.
Perks
The main benefit is anticipated clicks and sign-ups, not many, but a few.
SEO benefits in the long-tail if we choose a good title for the piece.
You can feature your Book, if you have a published book prominently in the piece.
Access to a wider audience, credibility, etc…
Collaborations like guest posts can lead to other opportunities, other people contacting you, etc….
The experience, most guest posts force you to write a piece of the highest quality you are capable of, since the incentives for doing so is a greater impact of the piece.
Guest post collaboration according to Substack is a great way to get your work out there.
FAQ
How many guest posts have you had on your publication? Over a dozen, under 20 thus far.
What is your motivation for offering guest posts? Mostly to send traffic to new and emerging Newsletters, but also to benefit my audience with diverse perspectives.
Does offering guest posts dilute your audience and their affinity to you? Yes and no, there are pros and cons of hosting them which I am aware of, I think it’s a net positive/benefit though.
How do you select who to feature and the topic? Mostly I use my intuition, I have gained some familiarity with the topics that “just work” and the sorts of writers I want to actively support.
What else do you get out of it? I get a day of rest, since I manage multiple Newsletters, this is precious time to do other marketing activities, catch up on correspondence, native sponsorship deals, etc…
Are guest posts typically well received? Yes they are, as a rule so far my audience and the broader community loves it.
