What to Do After Acceptance
We are very strict about quality. Please go through these instructions carefully:
Content guidelines
- We only accept content that is 2000+ words long.
- It should be a new article and not an AI produced content that is simply a paraphrase of other articles.
- We write in American English and we request you to do the same as most of our audience is from North America.
- Your sentences must not be long. Try to break complex sentences into multiple sentences. It makes it easy to understand.
- Write as if you are talking to the reader directly.
- Use subheadings and lists where you can. It helps to break your content down into 5-8 headlines with each headline having 1-2 subheadings. Each subheading can be 150-200 words long. It helps with the flow.
- Add images and visuals such as graphs, images, screenshots, videos, etc.
- If you are writing a piece on analytics, the data you refer to should be preferably recent and must not be older than 6 months. If you are referring to a government dataset then it must be the most recent one. The 6 month rule does not apply if the data is not getting collected every 6 months by your source.
How Long Does the entire Affair take?
- We will get back to you in 2 business days once we get your pitch.
- We expect you to send your first draft within a week of acceptance.
- Once you have gotten our feedback you have 2 days to incorporate it and send us the final version.
Can You Add Links?
- We do not want you to add links for promotional purposes. We only want links that are highly relevant. Don’t try to retrofit a link as it will be removed or your draft may get ignored.
- You can have 4 links in the entire guest post. They will all be no-follow.
- You must add 3 links to our own posts that are here on followed blog.
- We allow one do-follow link only in the author’s bio.
- Before submitting your piece, run it for grammar, readability and plagiarism
- We need you to send a Google Doc link for your article. We will share our feedback there only.
What do We Need for Author Bio
- Describe you in less than 300 words. Make it impressive.
- Send us a headshot picture of you
- Send us links to your social profiles.
Your Article Will Get Rejected In Following Scenarios
- Your ultimate goal is to get backlinks from us
- If the content is common knowledge or generic in nature
- The same thing has been said by others
- If the content quality is low or the style of writing keeps changing throughout the article
- You don’t send it in time
Please note that we have the right to make these changes among others:
- We will remove links if we find that they were there for promotional reasons
- We may change the content for clarity and grammar
