Guest Posts on AI Disruption
How to write a guest post for us - format, details, contacts
Hello,
✍🏻 Dear Writers and Newsletter Authors,
I’m reaching out to open up guest post opportunities because many writers have been recommending AI Disruption, which has led to significant subscription growth. To give back to our writers, I’m introducing guest post collaborations.
This isn’t part of a traditional editor’s duties, but in some ways, it reflects the spirit of peer collaboration.
🙏 Thank you so much for considering contributing a guest post to AI Disruption. Over the past six months, our readership has grown by 3,500 subscribers, with a daily average of at least 3,000 reads.
Every guest post will be shared on X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Substack Notes, and our website.
This could potentially bring some traffic to your newsletter, personal profile, and even new subscribers.
While our newsletter focuses on artificial intelligence, we highly value cross-disciplinary writing—where your expertise intersects with AI, similar to a Venn diagram. Possible topics can include but are not limited to:
Education
Healthcare
Society
Data Engineering
Product Development
Journalism
Software Development
AI Policy, Alignment, and Ethics
Media, and more
