Write a guest post
I currently accept paid guest posts for $15/post. Please note that this is a paid opportunity for small biz and those who wants to gain more exposure of their small biz/service.
Before you submit a guest post, make sure you read the guidelines. I’m looking for submissions on topics that include lifestyle (home, gifts, self-care, travel) and personal growth (business and learning).
If you have a post on one of these topics that meets the following guidelines, please fill out the form to pitch me your ideas.
Guest post guidelines
- Your content must be fresh or original content – should not have been posted anywhere else.
- The post must be more than 600 words long for SEO purposes.
- Let me know the keyword you use and make sure you have used it in the heading, the first paragraph, and spread through the post.
- Short, easy-to-read paragraphs (300 words or less) are preferred, and you should break up the text with relevant H2 and H3 headings.
- The article must be error-free, and proofread before submitting it.
- You may add 2 links (dofollow) back to your website within the post, if relevant.
- You may include your 2 social media links at the bottom of the ‘About the Author’ section.
- You must add 1-2 external links to authoritative sites (DA of 50+) such as Forbes, Entrepreneur.com, HubSpot, Business News Daily, Social Media Examiner, etc.
- Your links must NOT affiliate links to any products – but you can link to tools or products that you recommend.
- Once the article is published, you must add a link to it from your blog (optional, but highly appreciated) and share it on social media.
If the post does not follow the requirements then I have to reject it.
By sending me your post, I retain full editorial and approval rights, including removing or substituting links, editing content, and so on. I reserve the right to edit or refuse any post.
How To Submit Your Guest Post
Once you’ve heard back from me and your pitch was approved, you can start working on your guest post article. Here’s what you need to send over for it to be published:
- The full article (that respects the guidelines above) via Google Documents.
- A short bio (2-5 sentences) about you and your blog (I will put it in the ‘About the Author’ section).
- An image as an attachment, if not, I will find the free stock photos myself.
