You can include ‘quotes’ in your blog post, but keep in mind to link them to their appropriate sources.

Tone of Voice

User-friendly, conversational, and simple to understand content is what we ask from you as a contributor. It is your content, so we expect to write in first and/or second person. The third person writing is not recommended unless you have a reason for that.

Length and Formatting

Your article should contain more than 1500 words and it should be concise and compact. We encourage you to use an active instead of passive voice, short and easily readable sentences.

The blog posts should be easy to consume; therefore, we advise you to break up the content into paragraphs defined by headings (H2, H3). You can add a massive value to your post by adding headings and subheading.

Visuals

Visuals are known for engaging the audience to read your content. You can include them in your blog post as a tool to make your content exciting. Support your content with images, videos or infographics that will attract our readers.

Include images that are only under CC0 1.0 Universal – Public Domain. Provide us with the appropriate source and attribution for every image, video or infographic that you want to include in your blog post; otherwise, we reserve the right to use our own visuals in your content.

Linking

The web is composed of tons of content that is interconnected, so links are fundamental elements and part of any web page on the Internet. That does not mean that every link is a good link.

We allow links within the content you write only if they are not promotional and point to relevant and credible sources that will complement user’s knowledge about a specific topic. Our editors reserve the right to remove your links if they determine abusive and manipulative tactics for gaming search engines or directing visitors to promotional sources.

We do not accept sponsored nor no-follow links.
