Simple Guidelines for Expert Contributions

• No promotional copy
  We do not accept content that is blatantly promotional.
• Educational, interesting and entertaining
  All ‘Expert Contributions’ must include good expert advice, useful content or interesting information that presents you as a trusted professional and is relevant to our site. Do not present content that is self-serving only.
• Own it
  All content submitted must be owned by you; either written by you or on your behalf. Stealing content from another person’s site using ‘copy + paste’ functions is illegal… and bad karma… which we definitely don’t want for you.
• Word count
  Contributions can be any length. Remember people’s attention span is shorter on the web, so less is often more.
• On topic
  Include content that is relevant to the site and your area of expertise.
• Image
  Please submit one or more images that reflect your choice of content. Medium resolution, 800 x 600 pixels, preferably around 500kb.
• Youtube video
  You can add video to your content if relevant and interesting. We accept content on vimeo as well.
• Keep it clean
  We will not publish profanity or derogatory sentiments. Also, please spell check your content before submitting and check your grammar.
• Structure
  Use headings, bullet points and white space liberally instead of just large chunks of text. See our templates for examples of how to structure your content.
• New and unique content
  We accept fresh content from you that has not been published anywhere in the past.
• Old and used content
  We accept copy that you have already published on your site or elsewhere.
