Write for Us (Guest Post Submission Guidelines)

Guest Post Submission Guidelines

Hello, thank you for your interest in Personal Growth and Leadership Blog. This Blog is dedicated to everything Personal Growth and Leadership. It is aimed at helping individuals get access to the right resources to help them grow into better leaders for themselves and others.

While we are thrilled that you are considering submitting a guest post on our Blog, we are careful (we don’t want to say strict) on the kind of content we publish on our Blog. Please, carefully go through the guidelines below as they are criteria for publication. You can download a copy of this guideline here.

What we are looking for:

• Original contents on Personal Growth (everything about growing oneself) and Leadership, that seek to educate and inform more than it seeks to attract recognition. We do not publish contents that overly promote the author or his or her Organization. This is to maintain our credibility.
• We look out for well-researched and neatly structured content with a strong argument and clear guidelines on applications.
• Little or no grammatical errors in between (you can use your inbuilt Ms-Word Grammar check or Grammarly to be sure)
• Our audience is mostly young people and as such, we value contents that are exciting to read.

Writing Guidelines

All posts to be published on our website must adhere to the following writing guidelines:

• First, choose a Category you will like to publish under. Only contents on our focus areas are published on our site. For instance, an article on how to use your phone to make money will not be published on our site but an article on how to use your phone to grow yourself will be. Check our About Page to know more about us.
• Provide three keywords for your post and ensure your keywords appear in your title and at least one of them in your subsequent subheadings.
• Must be written in English
• At least 800+ words
• Well paragraphed. Our definition of a paragraph is four to six sentences.
• Well structured, with an introduction and headings. The first heading should be h2, while the remaining should be between h3 and h5 (don’t sweat so much about it, we will edit before publications)
• Always conclude at the bottom
• Don’t forget to attribute and credit any idea gotten elsewhere. We frown at plagiarism and will not waste any time to unpublish any content that plagiarizes any other content anywhere in the world.

Images

• Include at least three images in your post. Make sure the images used are not distorted or disproportionally stretched.
• We recommend that you create images you use yourself. But, in the event you do not own the images you are using, ensure you have the right to use the image and you attribute it according to using this format – Image source: [link to the page you got the image from]
• You can source your images from the following sites https://pexels.com, https://pixabay.com, https://unsplash.com/
• Image Sizes – at least 350px in height and 700px in width for in-post images. Featured image should be 1400 x 800px.
