1. What we Look For

We publish content that offers genuine value to our audience. Before pitching, ensure your topic meets the following criteria:

• Originality: We only accept 100% unique, original content that has not been published anywhere else online.
• Actionable Insights: Content should provide tactical takeaways, clear steps, frameworks, or real-world examples. Avoid broad generalities.
• Tone & Style: Professional yet approachable, clear, direct, and authoritative. Speak directly to the reader in an engaging, conversational voice.
• Target Word Count: Our articles typically range between 1,200 and 2,500 words, depending on topic depth.

2. Pitching & Article Approval Process

To respect your time and ours, please follow our standard four-step submission pipeline:

1. Step 1: Pitch Submission Send 2–3 specific topic pitches along with proposed headlines, a brief 2-sentence summary per topic, target keyword ideas, and links to 2–3 of your previously published articles.
2. Step 2: Outline Approval Once a topic is approved, submit a brief outline (main headings $H2$, subheadings $H3$, and key bullet points) before writing the full draft. This prevents major structural rewrites later.
3. Step 3: Draft Submission & Editorial Review Submit your completed draft via Google Docs (with edit access). Our editorial team will review the piece for quality, SEO alignment, tone, and link adherence.
4. Step 4: Revisions & Publication If minor edits are required, we may request a quick revision. Once finalized, we will schedule the post and notify you with the published live link.

3. Linking & Formatting Rules

Linking Policy

We maintain strict link hygiene to ensure compliance with search engine guidelines and protect user trust:

Formatting Requirements

• Use standard heading hierarchy (<H2>for main sections, <H3> for sub-sections).
• Keep paragraphs concise (2–4 sentences max) for high online readability.
• Use bullet points, numbered lists, and bold text for key takeaways to enhance scanability.

4. Submission Checklist & Required Assets

When submitting your final draft, please provide the following deliverables:

• Google Doc Link: Shared with edit permissions.
• Author Bio: 50–80 words written in the third person.
• Author Headshot: High-resolution headshot image (JPG or PNG).
• Images/Visuals (Optional): Relevant original diagrams, screenshots, or charts with proper source attribution. Do not include royalty-free stock photos unless approved.
  
  

5. Content Integrity Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for content malpractice:

• AI Content: We value authentic human expertise. Fully AI-generated or unedited machine text will be rejected upon screening.
• Plagiarism: All submissions are run through plagiarism detection tools. Copied content results in immediate disqualification.
• Republishing: Articles published on our site cannot be republished on Medium, LinkedIn, or other websites later.
