Image Guidelines
Images matter! A great featured image can actually get more eyeballs on your post. Here are our image requirements (and yes, they’re non-negotiable):
- Format: PNG or JPG
- Max Size: 2MB (aka no oversized, high-res glamour shots).
- Mandatory:
- 1 image per blog
- For Featured Posts, up to 2 images allowed (one for the content and another for the homepage).
Pro Tip: A striking, well-thought-out image can make your blog POP on our homepage. Choose wisely!
Link Policy
We’re happy to give the dreaded algorithm gods a nudge in your favor with some sweet do-follow backlinks—but there are a few ground rules.
- Free Posts: 1 do-follow backlink.
- Paid Posts: 2 do-follow backlinks (double the value).
- We DON’T allow:
- Affiliate links.
- Spammy anchor texts.
- Links to illegal, unethical, or adult content.
Placement matters! Your links should be natural, relevant, and add value for our readers (readers are smart, don’t underestimate them).
What We Don’t Accept
Sorry, we’re not a dumping ground for spammy articles or cookie-cutter content. Here’s what to avoid:
- Plagiarized content. (Eyes on you, GPT spammers!).
- Keyword-stuffed posts (it’s 2023, we’re over that).
- Irrelevant topics (stick to business, startups, and marketing, please!).
- Adult, gambling, medical, political, or crypto content.
- Misleading claims or unethical promotions.
Formatting Tips
Want to make your submission shine? Keep these in mind while writing your masterpiece:
- Use H2s and H3s to break your content into digestible sections.
- Aim for a conversational tone (we LOVE reading relatable stories!).
- Include personal insights, actionable tips, and real-life cases.
- Articles must be original (no copy-paste jobs here).
Bonus: If you republish your blog somewhere else later, make sure to link back to your guest post here. That’s just good manners!
