Hey, glad you found this
So you ended up on this page. That’s awesome.
Look, here’s what’s actually going on. We started Just Tech Blog because the cloud technology space is moving at an unprecedented pace, and most people are getting left behind trying to understand it. Everyone’s talking about cloud, but very few people actually explain how cloud technology works in practice, what it’s suitable for, and where people often get it wrong.
Our readers? They’re developers, IT professionals, businesses migrating to the cloud, and people curious about how cloud technology fits into their workflows. They want to know which cloud platforms actually work for their situation. They want to understand the real costs and benefits of cloud technology. They’re looking for honest advice from people who’ve actually worked with this stuff—not vendor marketing.
If you know cloud technology, if you’ve actually deployed systems in the cloud, and you can explain it in a real way without the jargon overload, we want you writing here. Whether you’re a cloud architect, a DevOps engineer, a systems administrator, or you’ve just spent years learning cloud technology in practice, there’s definitely space for you.
This isn’t about promoting cloud platforms or getting people to sign up for services. It’s about actual cloud technology knowledge that helps people make wise decisions.
Who we’re looking for
Real talk? We’re selective, but not in a snobby way. We just need people who actually know their stuff.
If you fit any of these, we’d love to hear from you:
-
Cloud architects and engineers – You design and build cloud systems that actually work
-
DevOps and infrastructure pros – You manage cloud deployments and know the real challenges
-
Systems administrators using cloud – You’ve migrated systems and dealt with the messy parts
-
Cloud security specialists – You understand how to actually keep cloud systems safe
-
Database and data engineers – You work with cloud data platforms and services
-
Cloud cost optimization experts – You know how to make cloud technology affordable
-
Developers building on cloud platforms – You’ve shipped real applications using cloud tech
-
Anyone seriously studying cloud technology – And can back it up with real experience, not just certifications
You don’t need Safancy cloud certification (though it helps. Some of the best cloud technology expertise comes from people who’ve spent years building on cloud platforms, breaking things, and learning what works and what doesn’t. What matters is that you genuinely know this stuff. Like, really know it. We can tell when someone’s just reading cloud vendor marketing, and so can our readers.
Topics we’re genuinely hungry for
Look, I could list forever, but here’s what would actually resonate with Just Tech Blog readers:
-
Cloud technology basics for beginners – Simple explanations that actually make sense
-
AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud – Real comparisons, not vendor hype
-
Migrating to cloud technology – The actual steps and common pitfalls
-

If you have an angle that helps people understand or implement cloud technology more effectively, pitch it. We’re not going to be difficult about it.
What we actually need from your article
Alright, so here’s what makes an article work for Just Tech Blog:
Length: Aim for somewhere around 1,500 to 2,500 words. Shorter technical guides? 1,000–1,200 is totally fine. Just don’t pad it with garbage to hit numbers. That’s annoying.
Talk like a real person: Write like you’re explaining cloud technology to a colleague. Short sentences. Normal paragraphs. No corporate cloud jargon overload. If you use a technical term, explain what it actually means. Not everyone’s a cloud engineer.
Keep it original: Your article has to be actually yours. Avoid copying from cloud vendor documentation, rewriting tech blogs, or stealing tutorials. We want what’s in your brain. Your experience. Your real perspective on cloud technology.
Back your claims up: If you’re saying something about how cloud technology works or matters, show why. Use real examples, architecture diagrams, code snippets, and your own experience. Just be honest about how you know what you know. Our readers appreciate transparency.
Make it readable: Use headings so readers can skim. Start with something that hooks them. End with actual action steps they can take. Don’t bury the good stuff in the middle.
Keywords should feel natural: Use “cloud technology” in your intro, in a heading or two, and somewhere near the end. But don’t force it. If it feels weird, it ISfunnyd.
Link to our other stuff: When it makes sense, link to other Just Tech Blog posts. Talking about web design and technology? Link to cloud-related topics. Discussing APIs or IoT? Connect to cloud infrastructure pieces. Discussing data and networks? Reference relevant cloud technology content. Helps readers find more and helps us too.
Give us your SEO title and description: Tell us what you’d call it in Google (under 60 characters) and write something short that makes people click (under 155 characters).
How to format your article
I know formatting sounds boring, but it actually matters when people are reading on their phones:
Headings: Use H2 and H3. That’s it. Don’t go deeper. People need clear markers to know what section they’re in.
Keep paragraphs short: 2–4 sentences max. Long paragraphs just don’t work. People read on mobile now.
Use lists: bullet points for tips, benefits, or items. Numbers for step-by-step processes. People love lists. Easy to scan.
Bold the important stuff: If there’s something people really need to remember, make it stand out. Just don’t overdo it.
Use code and technical examples: Got code snippets, architecture diagrams, configuration examples? Include them. Make it practical. People learn better with real examples.
Real examples help: Talk about actual cloud technology implementations you’ve done. Tell what worked, what didn’t. Way more interesting than theory.
The link rules (keeping it honest)
Here’s the deal:
Our articles: YES. Link to other Just Tech Blog posts when relevant. Helps readers explore and helps us.
Legit cloud and tech resources: YES. Official documentation, research reports, trusted tech resources.
Your own cloud products or services: NO. Don’t link to your cloud consulting business or your cloud platform. We can tell.
Affiliate links: NO. No commissions disguised as helpful cloud technology advice. People see through it.
Promotional spam: NO. Random links to random cloud providers you don’t actually recommend? Nope.
Your website in your bio: YES. One link. Keep it professional and relevant.
Simple rule: If this link helps the reader understand or implement cloud technology better, include it. If it’s just promotional? Don’t do it.
Write us your author bio.
At the end of your article, include a short bio about yourself. Keep it real. 50–100 words. Tell us:
-
Your name and what you actually do in cloud technology or IT
-
Your experience with cloud technology (platforms, deployments, what have you built?)
-
What you specialize in or what you’re known for
-
Where can people find you online
Here’s an example:
David has been working with cloud technology for about 8 years. He has deployed systems on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and understands the strengths and weaknesses of each. He’s helped multiple companies successfully migrate to the cloud and learn from their mistakes. He understands the pain points rather than just reading vendor marketing. Find him on GitHub or his cloud architecture blog.
How to actually submit your article
You wrote something solid. Now what?
Step 1: Email us your pitch first. Don’t send the whole article yet. Subject line: “Guest Article Pitch – Cloud Technology.”
Tell us what the article’s about (a few bullet points), why our readers would care, and why you’re qualified to write it. Keep it short—one paragraph max.
Step 2: Wait for our response. Usually takes like 5–7 business days. If we like your idea, we’ll say yes. If it’s not quite right, we’ll be honest.
Step 3: Write the full article. Follow what I mentioned above. Ensure it is well-crafted, truthful, and genuinely useful.
Step 4: Send it as a Google Doc or Word file. Include your SEO title, meta description, author bio, and notes about where internal links should go.
Step 5: We review it. Might be minor edits, might be bigger changes. We’ll let you know what’s happening and when it goes live. Then you can share it everywhere.
That’s it. Pretty straightforward.
Why we actually need you
Here’s the honest part. Just Tech Blog exists because people like you share what they actually know. Every article helps someone. It may help them finally determine whether cloud technology is right for their situation. Perhaps it saves them from a costly mistake during migration. Maybe it gives them confidence to architect something new.
Cloud technology information is everywhere, but much of it is outdated, overhyped vendor marketing, or misses real-world challenges. We’re trying to be different. Honest. Actually helpful. Actually practical.
If you care about helping people understand and implement cloud technology effectively, and want an audience that will listen and take action, this is the place. I believe what you know could change how someone approaches their cloud infrastructure and decision-making
