Sound interesting? Let’s make sure we’re a match!
I am looking for high-quality guest posts (preferably written by mothers) that fit the theme of my blog.
Guest Post Topics and Formats
As a lifestyle mom blogger, I write about single motherhood, divorce, midlife transition, and all those things entail (See my About page)
Some topics I am looking for include:
- Productivity and Organization (including Printables)
- Life after Divorce
- Life with Preteens
- Dating in Midlife
- Co-parenting or Single Motherhood
- Skincare as Self-Care
- Health and Wellness
- Midlife Transition and Reinvention
- Mompreneur
- Start a Blog
Formats I am looking for:
- Informational posts
- How To posts
- List posts
- Response posts that answer a very specific long-tail search query
If you feel that another topic will interest my audience and fit my blog, you may also submit it.
General Guest Post Guidelines
- Posts should be between 700 and 2000 words
- Posts should target a specific long-tail keyword or search query
- The post should be an original work
- Your guest post should be broken up into small sections, with appropriate use of bullet points, headings, etc to make it visually interesting.
- The post should be well organized with an intro, body, and conclusion.
- Should be either a ghost post or a guest post, as explained in the next section.
I will provide the final images for every guest post.
You may suggest some, or provide ORIGINAL photos if your post is a how-to post.
Types of Guest Posts I accept
You may submit two kinds of guest posts:
1. REGULAR GUEST POST: where you will be listed as the author and may include an author bio and image if you wish. Regular guest posts may include TWO do-follow backlinks to your website.
The backlink may be a link to your homepage in the author bio, and a link to a relevant post on your blog, in the body of the post.
2. GHOST GUEST POST: where I will be listed as the author. Ghost guest posts get to include THREE do-follow backlinks to your website, and no author bio. These links must be relevant to the post.
Terms
By submitting a guest post you agree to the following terms, as well as everything else written on this page:
- I reserve the right to edit, share, delete, or otherwise modify the blog post as I see fit. I may edit for grammar, style, add photos, add or change headers, etc. I do my best to make your post fit my blog and be very high quality, but remain true to your style and voice.
- You may not add links to your email list or affiliate links, but I may insert my own affiliate links.
- I reserve the right to choose if the links you have included are relevant & high quality or not. If I feel they are not, I will contact you to help choose a different back link.
- Submitting a guest post does not guarantee I will publish it.
- If accepted, I will publish the post per my posting schedule and notify you when it is live.
- You may not post the article on any other website, past or future.
- You should “Pin” the post to your Pinterest if you have one.
- You should link to the post once it is published on my blog, from a relevant article on your blog. (This is an excellent way for you to “outbound” link to your OWN content!)
- You may link to the post on your email list if you wish.
- I do not accept guest posts from companies or agencies. Do not ask. I only publish posts from other bloggers.
