Common Guidelines for Submission
Follow these general requirements to increase your chances of acceptance:
Content Requirements
- Word Count: Aim for 800–2,500+ words, depending on the platform (e.g., 1,500+ for Chatter Buzz, 2,500+ for Socialfix).
- Originality: Content must be 100% original, unpublished, and pass plagiarism checks (e.g., Copyscape or Google).
- Topics: Focus on digital marketing niches like SEO, content marketing, social media, PPC, email marketing, or emerging trends (e.g., AI in marketing). Avoid overly promotional content or topics already covered on the blog.
- Tone and Style: Use a conversational, engaging tone with first-person pronouns (“you,” “I”). Avoid lecturing and ensure content is scannable with H2/H3 headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs (4–5 lines).
- Data and Examples: Back claims with credible sources, statistics, or case studies. Include real-world examples or actionable tips to add value.
- Visuals: Include 2–8 high-quality images, infographics, or screenshots (500–800px wide, copyright-free or credited). Provide alt text for accessibility.
Formatting and Structure
- Headings: Use H1 for the title, H2/H3 for subheadings, and avoid excessive H4–H6.
- Links: Include 1–2 do-follow backlinks to your website (contextual or in author bio) and 2–3 internal links to the blog’s existing content. Cite credible external sources for data.
- SEO Optimization: Provide a meta title, meta description, and 2–5 keyword-optimized tags. Avoid keyword stuffing.
- Submission Format: Submit as a Google Doc or MS Word file (not PDF). Include a proposed title, outline, and author bio (50–100 words) with one link to your website or social media.
Submission Process
- Pitch First: Send 3–5 topic ideas or an outline before drafting. Check the blog’s existing content to avoid duplication.
- Email Submission: Use the specified email.
- Review Time: Expect 1–2 weeks for a response. Some platforms, like Digital Delane, aim for one week.
- Edits and Approval: Editors may revise for clarity, style, or SEO. You may review changes before publication, but the platform has final say.
