If we like your ideas we will get back to you in 2 business days.

We are very strict about quality. Please go through these instructions carefully:

We only accept content that is 2000+ words long.
It should be a new article and not an AI produced content that is simply a paraphrase of other articles.
We write in American English and we request you to do the same as most of our audience is from North America.
Your sentences must not be long. Try to break complex sentences into multiple sentences. It makes it easy to understand.
Write as if you are talking to the reader directly.
Use subheadings and lists where you can. It helps to break your content down into 5-8 headlines with each headline having 1-2 subheadings. Each subheading can be 150-200 words long. It helps with the flow.
Add images and visuals such as graphs, images, screenshots, videos, etc.
If you are writing a piece on analytics, the data you refer to should be preferably recent and must not be older than 6 months. If you are referring to a government dataset then it must be the most recent one. The 6 month rule does not apply if the data is not getting collected every 6 months by your source.

We will get back to you in 2 business days once we get your pitch.
We expect you to send your first draft within a week of acceptance.
Once you have gotten our feedback you have 2 days to incorporate it and send us the final version.

We do not want you to add links for promotional purposes. We only want links that are highly relevant. Don’t try to retrofit a link as it will be removed or your draft may get ignored.
You can have 4 links in the entire guest post. They will all be no-follow.
You must add 3 links to our own posts that are here on followed blog.
We allow one do-follow link only in the author’s bio.
Before submitting your piece, run it for grammar, readability and plagiarism
We need you to send a Google Doc link for your article. We will share our feedback there only.

Your ultimate goal is to get backlinks from us
If the content is common knowledge or generic in nature
The same thing has been said by others
If the content quality is low or the style of writing keeps changing throughout the article
You don’t send it in time

Please note that we have the right to make these changes among others:
