10 BASIC GUEST POSTING GUIDELINES

1. Be real – use your real name! (Link it to your personal Social Media profiles if possible)

2. Aim for advanced readers – Whatever topic you choose, look for savvy content rather than basics, unique viewpoints rather than stating of the obvious, analysis rather than news coverage.

4. Formatting – Here are some formatting tips that you need to consider• Send your posts as clean HTML documents• Use bulleted formats• Divide your post into short, easy-to-skim paragraphs• Use subheadings for each meaningful point and mark them with h2 tags• Emphasize your main points by making them bold• End your post with a powerful conclusion and an open question to engage readers and encourage

comments

5. Put/Add Related Images – (please) give due credit (read: link) to authors of visuals you’ve included in your guest post. Creative commons licensed images are ok, so are embedded pins and images that you’ve purchased.

6. You may include self-promoting Links (depending on the rules and guidelines of the site) – you may insert it in the articles itself or in author’s byline.

7. Promote the post and reply to comments – Once your post goes live, let your social network know about it too! Mention the website in your tweets and posts, and they will be more than happy to repost and retweet.

8. Come back again (be their regular contributor)
