What We Don't Want: We do not accept content created solely for SEO purposes, overly promotional articles, or content that doesn't provide genuine value to our readers.
We're looking for content that is practical, actionable, and genuinely helpful. Here are the types of content that perform best on our platform:
Practical Lists
Actionable, step-by-step lists that readers can implement immediately. Examples: "7 Ways to Increase Sales Without Increasing Your Marketing Budget" or "10 Essential Tools Every Small Business Owner Needs."
Case Studies
Deep dives into real business successes or failures. Analyze what worked, what didn't, and what lessons can be learned. Use real examples (with permission) or anonymized case studies.
How-To Guides
Comprehensive guides that break down complex processes into simple, actionable steps. These should be detailed enough that a reader can follow along and achieve the desired outcome.
Opinion Pieces
Bold, data-backed opinions about market trends, industry changes, or business strategies. These should be well-researched and provide a unique perspective.
What We Don't Want
- Press releases or news articles
- Purely theoretical content without practical application
- Articles that don't provide actionable value to readers
- Content that has been published elsewhere
To ensure the highest quality content for our readers, please follow these guidelines carefully:
Length
Articles should be between 800 and 1,500 words. This length allows for comprehensive coverage while maintaining reader engagement.
Originality
All content must be 100% original and not published anywhere else, including your personal blog. We check for plagiarism, and duplicate content will be rejected.
Tone
Write in a professional, clear, and direct tone. Address the reader as if they're an intelligent colleague. Avoid jargon when possible, and always explain technical terms when you must use them.
Formatting
Use subheadings, bullet points, and short paragraphs to make your content easy to scan and read. Break up long blocks of text with:
- H2 and H3 subheadings
- Bulleted or numbered lists
- Short paragraphs (3-4 sentences max)
- Bold text for key points
Links
You may include links to reliable sources to support your claims. We allow one link to your personal website or social media profiles in your author bio.
Author Bio
Please include a short bio (approximately 50 words) and a professional headshot. Your bio should highlight your expertise and credentials relevant to the topic you're writing about.
How to Submit Your Article
Submitting your article is simple. Just fill out the form below with your information and article details. We'll review your submission and get back to you within two weeks if we're interested in publishing your work.
We want to be transparent about our review process:

Review Timeline
Due to the high volume of submissions, we only respond to contributions we're interested in publishing. If you don't hear from us within two weeks, you can assume we weren't able to accept your article this time, and you're free to publish it elsewhere.
