Guest Post Guidelines
Posted on January 18, 2010 by LJ
I get inquiries from people asking if they can guest post on SimpleProductivityBlog, and if so, what am I looking for. I thought it would be best to lay it all out in one place.
The short answer is YES, I accept guest posts. As long as your post meets my guidelines (below), the chances are pretty good I’ll accept it. I’m always looking for fresh perspectives and opinions.
I currently only publish guest posts once a week, usually on Thursdays.
The Guidelines
- The post content should apply to the blog topics: productivity, simplicity, balance and life design. It can come from research, or from your own experience.
- I prefer posts between 500 and 750 words long. This is not a hard and fast rule, though.
- Your post must be original, be written by you, and never have been published elsewhere (in print or on the ‘net).
- You agree not to publish the post anywhere else. You may, however, link to it.
- I will include up to two links in your byline.
- You will not embed SEO tags, monetizing tags or affiliate codes in your article.
- I reserve the right to edit the content (with approval from you, of course) and will edit the formatting to suit the blog layout.
How Do I Submit?
If you have a post you feel meets the criteria, please email me the completed post (or at least a well-populated outline!) at GuestPost (at) simpleproductivityblog (dot) com. I will usually respond within 72 hours with a decision to accept the post or not. (If I don’t accept it, you are obviously welcome to submit it elsewhere!)
