Editorial Guidelines
These editorial guidelines are designed to help you understand what we do and do not accept as article submissions. Before you submit your articles, please ensure that your articles meet the following guidelines:
1. The article must be an original article that you wrote. If you are submitting for a client as a contractor or employee, submit the article as if it was from the original author/writer including his or her name and email address.
2. Articles must not be PLR content. If you hire a ghostwriter, you must have exclusive license that allows only your name to be associated with the author. PLR content creates duplicate content and we will remove duplicate articles.
3. Articles must be informative, educational and interesting. Write tips, strategies, opinions, analysis, case studies and commentary in your articles. You want people to want to read your articles.
4. Articles can not be press releases, sales letters, promotional content or include excessive promotion or hype.
5. Articles must use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and sentence structure. US or UK spelling is accepted, but please be consistent within the article. If English is your second language, consider using a Native English Speaking editor to edit your work prior to submission.
6. Use proper punctuation. This includes one or two spaces after a period, comma, or semi-colon. Never use a space before a period or comma.
