Article Guidelines

• Please make sure your article is between 300-700 words. We’re looking for clear and concise articles that deliver huge impact.
  
  
• Please limit the formatting of your article when submitting. Plain text is preferred. Underline text, bold text, and italicized text isn’t needed. Our editors take care of the formatting of any article. We simply require you to submit the article with as little formatting as possible to make it easier in the editing and formatting process.
  
  
• Make your article interesting and easier to follow by including subheadings to break up your content. Single sentence lines are not what we are looking for. Make sure to submit your article in paragraph format. Short paragraphs make the article easier to read. If you need an example, have a look at any of our latest articles on our website and you will see how we like to format our content.
  
  
• Providing images with your content is not required. Our formatting team chooses what image we will use as the featured image of an article. So no need to spend time looking for an image for your article!
  
  
• We do not accept articles submitted in PDF or HTML format. Please submit articles in a google doc and make sure that document is in edit mode when you share it with us! Google docs is the easiest and quickest way to have your article reviewed.
  
  

Link Policy

• We do not allow guest contributors to place links from outside websites within the body of the article, nor do we allow promotion or mention of a company, entrepreneur, product or service, including apps/tools. Our focus is to provide our readers with practical advice vs. the writer of the article or promoted product or service. Links that you submit  within the body of your article will be removed should we decide to publish your article.
  
  
• You are allowed two links of your choice to be placed in your Author Bio. Make sure you link to them in the bio upon submission. Please understand, linking to a social media page is considered one link. So use your link choice wisely and strategically.
