Are you interest in writing a guest article for Advanced Life Skills? If so, maybe we can work together toward that possibility. For starters, please review the guest article guidelines and suggestions below. They are for everyone’s benefit
Content Guidelines
While Advanced Life Skills covers a variety of topics; they are all related to the field of personal growth and development. Our readers appreciate practical advice that they can quickly put to use in their personal lives.
You will notice that we do not write about anything having to do with spirituality in its various popular forms. Likewise, there are no articles dealing with the occult, mysticism, magic, hypnotism, or anything loosely related to these topics. If you have a topic in mind and you are unsure about its appropriateness, please contact me HERE.
Article Length Guidelines
Our average article length on Advanced Life Skills is between 700-1200 words. This is a good range to aim for. Of course, high quality content is the most important thing, but regardless of content value, short filler posts will not be considered. Our readers appreciate something they can sink their teeth into.
Images
If you have an image that you want me to consider, and you have the legal right to use it, send it along with your submission. Generally, I will choose the images.
Editing and Search Engine Optimization
Important note: I reserve the right to edit all guest posts at my own discretion; please don’t be offended by this. I want your guest article to be well received by our readers. This is also in your best interest because I keyword optimize all articles using Scribe. This guarantees that your guest post will rank well in the search engines and attract more readers. If radical changes are needed I will send the post back to you with suggested additions, omissions or changes. I will only do this if I feel your submission needs enhancements that go beyond basic editing.
Exclusivity
Your guest article must be something original and unique. Unless previously negotiated, I will assume that your article was written exclusively for Advanced Life Skills. While you are more than welcome to write on the same topic elsewhere, the same article must not be published on any other sites — that includes your blog. If I publish your guest article, you will be the listed author and as such will still hold the copyright. I will use your guest article only for the purpose it was intended.
Promotion
I want to highlight you, your blog and any appropriate product or service that you have to offer. This will be done in a byline that will be featured at the bottom of your article. Bylines should be a sentence or two about who you are, and what you do. Feel free to include up to 2 links in your byline.
No text links are allowed in the article body unless they are absolutely necessary to support the content, which is rarely the case. I am happy to promoting you, but keep in mind that a subtle approach works best.
Acceptance of Guest Articles
I reserve the right to reject any submission that I feel is not appropriate for any reason. Acceptance is totally up to my discretion. If your guest article is rejected please do not take it personally, the fact is I am extremely picky. No matter how objective I want to be in my acceptance criteria, choosing what to publish on this site is, in the end, still a very subjective decision on my part. If you have a website that you are proud of, I’m sure you can understand and appreciate this point.
ONE FINAL BUT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POINT
If we don’t know each other then I need to see some examples of your writing. Please send some references with links so I can read your published work and see your writing style. Do not just send me something and ask me to publish it, that’s not how it works!
I am thrilled that you are interested in contributing a guest post to Advanced Life Skills. I hope you don’t feel that our guidelines are too restrictive. They are necessary because my readers always come first. They trust my judgment, and I value their trust.
If you are still interested in writing for us, please contact me HERE.
I will do my best to answer your questions or concerns?
