2. Content Quality Standards
We are committed to publishing only high-quality, original content. Please ensure your submission meets the following criteria:
All articles must be original and unpublished. We do not accept articles that have been previously published or repurposed from other sources. While we understand AI writing tools can assist in content creation, we require a significant level of human authorship. Content must reflect your unique style, brand voice, and expertise. Using AI for structural outlines or brainstorming is acceptable, but submissions that appear primarily AI-generated and lacking substantial personal input will not be accepted. We have established criteria to ensure authenticity and quality.
Length: Articles should be a minimum of 1,200 words. In-depth and comprehensive articles (up to 2,500 words) are encouraged.
Clarity and Structure: The article should be written and have a logical structure. To enhance readability, use headings, subheadings, bullet points, and short paragraphs.
Research and Data: Back your claims with reputable sources, studies, or data. Include links to credible, non-promotional sources where appropriate.
Actionable Takeaways: Provide practical insights or takeaways for the reader. We aim to offer content that is both informative and useful.
We do not link to competitive websites, so tell us who you are writing for so we don't waste time.
3. Tone and Style
We encourage a professional but conversational tone. Your content should be engaging, informative, and free of jargon unless it is clearly explained.
