Will you edit my content before publishing it?

Yes, our managing editor, Kiesha Joseph, will edit your post for clarity and SEO purposes. She understands the time it takes for guest bloggers to write awesome, unique content. Kiesha will do her absolute best to preserve your style and voice.

Do I need to submit a headshot?

No, our system pulls its headshots from Gravatar. So, you need to make sure you have the following accounts, and ensure they are up-to-date:

• WordPress.com – Provides you with a bio that’s used across all blogs powered by WordPress
• Gravatar.com – Connects your WordPress.com bio to a profile image that’s used across WordPress-powered blogs

Note: If you don’t have both of these accounts set up, we will have to use a default image and bio for you. And, we don’t like defaults. So, please make sure your accounts are ready to go before submitting your doc.

What should I do after my guest blog post is published?

If we choose to publish your post, we will email you within one week with estimated publication date and link to post for your review. We will notify you when we publish the post.

Once the post is published, please Like & Share it. And, please respond to any and all comments from our readers. This will help your post go viral, improving the value of your backlinks and chances of getting click-throughs to your site. That’s well worth becoming one of our guest bloggers.

Tips for Getting Approved

Make sure your idea is awesome. It should be related to you or your brand’s own area of expertise. Your content should be something you yourself would enjoy reading.

To ensure that your content meets the needs of our blog visitors, please try to follow one or more of the following guidelines:

• Use your expertise to write about a recent trend or news event that would interest our audience
