Articles that don't follow these will not be considered.
Content standards
Original content only. Your article can't be published anywhere else, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or Substack. We check.
Human-written. Using AI to research, outline, or edit is fine. Submitting an article that is primarily AI-generated is not. We run detection tools, and machine-sounding content is rejected without review.
Written from experience. Tell us what you did, what it cost, and what happened. Specific numbers beat vague claims every time, even when the numbers are small.
Plagiarism-free. Copied sentences or paragraphs end the review.
Fact-checked. Any statistic or claim needs a link to a credible, current source inside the article.
Length
Minimum 1,000 words. Aim for 1,500 to 2,500. A focused 1,300-word article beats a padded 2,000-word one.
Formatting
- H2 and H3 headings, with a subheading roughly every 200 to 300 words
- Paragraphs of 2 to 4 sentences
- Bullet points and numbered lists where they help
- Bold sparingly, for key takeaways only
- Submit as a Google Doc (comment access on) or a Markdown file
Images
Images are optional. If you include them, each one needs descriptive alt text and must be relevant to the section it sits in.
We accept two kinds of images:
- Royalty-free photos that you've taken yoursel OR from Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, or similar. No watermarked or copyrighted images.
- AI-generated images, as long as they illustrate the topic rather than fake evidence for it.
AI-generated images can't be used to show results. That means no fabricated analytics dashboards, earnings screenshots, revenue charts, client messages, testimonials, or anything a reader would take as proof. If you're showing real results, use a real screenshot. If you're illustrating a concept, an AI image is fine.
Send images as separate labeled files, or embed them in the Google Doc with alt text noted.
Backlink policy
You get one do-follow backlink in the article body. It must:
- Sit naturally in the content around it
- Point to a real, high-quality page on your site
- Read as a reference, not an advertisement
You may also include one link in your author bio.
We don't link to affiliate spam, thin pages, MLMs, crypto schemes, gambling, adult content, or black-hat SEO services. We reserve the right to edit, remove, or nofollow any link.
