What We Look for

Successful guest post contributions should be comprehensive, data-driven, interesting, and educational. To increase your chances of getting published on our blog, ensure that your contribution,  

• Is a relevant, well-researched post (preferably 400 - 600+ words) with actionable tips. 
• Is 100% original and unpublished. We will not republish anything that’s been published elsewhere. Only includes claims that are backed by links to credible research or case studies. Avoid citing our competitors, and using any irrelevant promotional links to websites. 
• Includes examples and relevant images to illustrate your point. Avoid using stock photos that don’t add any value to the copy. Use Creately to visualize data, information, processes, ideas, and frameworks.   
• Includes subheadings, bullet points, and shorter paragraphs which make the article more readable.

You are free to link to other quality resources to add value to the article. But please refrain from excessive linking. In general, it’s best to keep the link count under 5.
