We occasionally publish work by people who know an AI tool better than we do. This page explains what we look for — and what we do not offer.
Read this part first
TechSMK does not sell links, and contributing here will not help your search rankings.
- We do not offer, sell or exchange dofollow backlinks. Every outbound link in a contributed article is marked
rel="nofollow". - We do not publish sponsored posts, paid guest posts, or link insertions into existing articles, at any price.
- We do not accept articles written primarily to promote a product, including one you work on.
- Pitches offering payment for placement are deleted without a reply.
If a backlink is the reason you are reading this page, this is the wrong site. That is not meant unkindly — it just saves us both an email.
What we are looking for
One thing: a guide to an AI tool that you can write better than we can because you have actually used it in earnest. Good pitches usually come from people who have hit a specific wall and worked out how to get past it.
Topics that fit:
- A workflow inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Sora, Janitor AI or a comparable tool, worked out through real use.
- A hands-on comparison of tools in one category, where you have used all of them for the same task.
- A clear explanation of a limit, quota or behaviour that confuses people, with evidence.
Topics that do not fit: general “top 10 AI trends” pieces, anything outside AI tools, company news, and any article whose main purpose is to mention a product.
Standards
Contributed articles are held to the same Editorial Policy as our own:
- Original and unpublished. Not posted elsewhere, not a translation, not a rewrite of another article, not spun. We check.
- First-hand. If the article describes steps, you performed them. Include your own screenshots, cropped and captioned — a minimum of four for any procedural guide.
- Sourced. Prices, limits and feature claims link to the vendor’s own documentation.
- As long as it needs to be. We have no word count. A 900-word guide that answers the question beats a 2,500-word one that circles it.
- Not AI-generated. You may draft with AI assistance, but a model-written article submitted as your own work will be declined, and we will not look at further pitches from you.
- Disclosed interests. If you work for, consult to, or hold any stake in a tool you mention, tell us in the pitch. It does not automatically disqualify the piece; hiding it does.
What you get
- A byline with your name and a two-sentence bio.
- One nofollow link to your personal site or profile in that bio.
- An edit. We will cut, restructure and fact-check, and we will show you the result before it publishes.
We do not pay for contributions, and we say so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
How to pitch
Email techsmkofficial0@gmail.com with “Pitch” in the subject line and include:
- The question the article answers, in one sentence.
- Which tool, and how you have used it.
- A rough outline — headings are enough.
- Any conflict of interest.
Please do not send a finished draft in the first email. We reply to pitches we want within about a week; if you have not heard back in two, assume it was not for us.
