What it should look like

 

Structure

Content should be structured in a logical intro, body, conclusion format.

The introduction should get the visitors attention and gives them a reason to keep reading.

The body should give 3 or more valuable and actionable pieces of advice or information.

The Conclusion should summarise the actions and tell the reader what to do next and why to do it.

 

Do Not Sell

Our readers want useful information that helps them solve their problems and learn about how to make a living from where they are on their own schedule.

Do not submit sales pitches for products or yourself and do not link to landing pages or other promotional content.

If you do we will probably just stop reading and not respond.

 

Make the content actionable

Put actionable advice or information into the main content and draw it together at the end of the article.

Finish your article by drawing together the actions and providing clear next steps.

 

Length

Articles should be a minimum of 500 quality words, there is no set maximum length.

Do not pad your writing with unnecessary fluff to get the word count up, it just makes the content look bad.

Pro tip: If you read your content out loud and it sounds wordy, repetitive, or otherwise awkward you probably need to edit it.

 

Readability

Keep paragraphs and sentences short. 

Paragraphs should be around 150 words and there should be 3 - 4 sentences per paragraph.

Punctuate correctly!

 

Document Format

We prefer content to be provided in Google doc format shared with us with editing permissions.

We are likely to edit the shared document so please keep a copy of the original submission for your records.

 

Inclusion

Use inclusive language and sentiment.

Use Gender-inclusive pronouns where possible  e.g. 'they' instead of 'he'

Be respectful and kind.

 

How it works

Submitting an article for consideration is easy, just write the article and submit it to us by email for review at  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We do not pay for content or accept payment for publishing content. If you require payment for content please do not submit it.

We will consider including a link to a well-written author profile which supports the author's credibility on the subject of the article.

We will consider including links to great content which is directly relevant to the content and we believe will provide significant value to our viewers.

The decision whether to include links in articles and the technical configuration of any included links will be made at our sole discretion.

All rights to content must be released to us prior to publication and we reserve the right to modify or unpublish content at our sole discretion. If you are not ok with this please don't submit content to us.

Publication usually occurs reasonably quickly after content is accepted but it may take 4 or more weeks before new content is published.
