Where Practical Technology Meets Ambitious Learners
Network Ustad is a UK-based technology and AI publication for people who build, configure, automate, and learn. Readers come here for working knowledge: how a tool actually behaves, which software stack saves time, and which digital skill opens the next career door.
The editorial core covers software walkthroughs, artificial intelligence tools tested in real workflows, networking fundamentals explained without jargon, and honest comparisons that admit trade-offs. Alongside that core, the magazine runs a broad general section, which is why the category list further down reaches well beyond tech.
Contributors here are practitioners first. If you have deployed it, debugged it, trained on it, or taught it, you likely have an article our readers will finish rather than skim.
Who Tends to Do Well Here
Developers documenting a solution that took too long to find. IT support specialists turning ticket patterns into prevention guides. AI consultants showing a workflow with real prompts, real outputs, and real limits. Career switchers mapping the exact steps they took into a tech role.
Independent experts, training providers, SaaS teams, and agencies all publish here under the same bar. Product mentions are acceptable when the product is genuinely part of the method being taught. Pure promotional copy disguised as a tutorial is not, and it rarely survives the first read.
Ordering, Pricing, and Timescales
Guest publishing on Network Ustad operates on a paid only basis. Free submissions are not accepted, because each accepted piece consumes review, technical checking, formatting, and ongoing hosting.
Pricing is confirmed through the LinkGuestPost listing or on enquiry, depending on the section and scope of the piece. Begin by using this route to order a guest post on Network Ustad via LinkGuestPost, where this publication’s current listing sets out the next steps.
Direct contact works as well: email support@drhomey.com or write via mailto:support@drhomey.com with your proposed title and a short outline. Once a draft is approved, it is typically published within 24–72 hours, and the live link is sent to you for verification.
Editorial Requirements in Detail
- Depth: Every article must be 1,000+ words, fully original, and human-written. AI-spun text, copied documentation, and recycled forum answers are declined.
- Accuracy: Version numbers, pricing claims, and capability statements about tools must be current at the time of writing. Outdated screenshots and deprecated commands cause delays.
- Link allowance: A maximum of up to 2 dofollow links may sit in the article body. Place them where a curious reader would naturally want the reference.
- Staying live: Published posts are permanent features of the archive, not temporary placements that expire.
- Hard exclusions: Casino, betting, and gambling topics are refused, as are adult material and any niche tied to illegal conduct.
- Readability: Short paragraphs, descriptive subheadings, code or steps formatted cleanly, and a summary that states what the reader can now do.
Editors may add internal links to related tutorials and adjust formatting for consistency. Technical meaning is never altered without checking with the author first.
Full Category Range
Technology and AI lead the homepage, yet the publication accepts guest work across all twenty-six areas below. A well-argued finance explainer for freelancers, a health piece on screen fatigue, or a travel guide for remote workers can sit comfortably here when the writing is strong.

From Pitch to Published Tutorial
The smoothest route in begins with a working title, the intended reader, and the outcome that reader will achieve. A proposal titled “Cutting cloud bills for a three-person SaaS team” with a promised checklist will always outrun a vague offer to write about cloud computing in general.
During review, technical editors test the logic of the piece. Commands are checked for syntax, tool claims are compared with current documentation, and screenshots are examined for version consistency. This stage occasionally surfaces a better method than the one submitted, and authors are invited to incorporate it, because accuracy matters more than anyone’s first draft.
Openings deserve special effort. Begin with the problem in the reader’s own language: the error message, the slow dashboard, the manual task eating Friday afternoons. Then promise a tested route out, and deliver it in the order a practitioner would actually follow, including the step where things commonly go wrong.
Examples of contributions that earned quick approval include a migration diary documenting what broke and how it was fixed, a comparison of AI note-taking tools based on identical meeting recordings, a home-lab networking build explained for beginners without condescension, and a study plan that took its author from helpdesk duties to a cloud certification.
Length should follow complexity. A focused fix may need little beyond the minimum, while a platform comparison or learning roadmap often deserves considerably more space. Editors will trim repetition, but they will not cut a necessary caveat, limitation, or safety warning simply to save words.
After publication, authors are encouraged to watch comments and flag anything that becomes outdated as tools evolve. A short update note keeps a tutorial trustworthy, and trustworthy tutorials are the backbone of this publication’s search presence and reader loyalty.
Common Questions
Must my article be about technology?
No. Tech is the flagship focus, but every category above is open. Choose the section that honestly matches your subject rather than forcing a tech angle.
Can I include screenshots, tables, or step lists?
Absolutely, and for tutorials they are encouraged. Ensure images are your own or properly licensed, and keep tables simple enough to render well on phones.
Do you review tools or AI products on request?
Review-style submissions are considered when based on hands-on use. State your connection to the product openly; undisclosed promotion is grounds for rejection.
How technical should the language be?
Write for a smart non-specialist who can follow a process. Define acronyms on first use, then proceed at a confident pace without padding.
What should my first pitch include?
Send a working title, the intended category, three points your article will prove or teach, and a note on your hands-on experience with the subject. Links you hope to include can be mentioned at this stage too, so there are no surprises later. Editors reply to complete pitches first, and a concise, specific proposal normally receives a decision faster than a long introductory message about your organisation.
May I republish the article on my own blog later?
No. Originality is part of the agreement, and duplicate versions elsewhere undermine both sites. You may link to the published piece and quote brief excerpts.
