THE MINIMUM ESSENTIALS FOR EVERY POST WE PUBLISH
Successful guest contributions are comprehensive, data-driven, and interesting posts that focus on teaching our readers something new about the world of online marketing. We’ve always focused our content on marketing narrowing down into social media, email marketing, outreach, and content marketing. However, we’re also interested in publishing any topic that marketers care about, which includes things like hiring, team development, job hunting, writing, design, math, and larger internet trends, among other things.
We also look for a few things in everything we publish:
- Minimum length 1500 words.
- Original concepts, compelling arguments, and high-quality writing. We will not republish anything that’s been published elsewhere.
- Article reflects the writing style/tone of the Marketing Blog.
- Proper attribution of data, quotations, and outside content referenced in the article.
- No more than one link to your company’s website in the body of the post.
THE DIFFERENT POSTS WE ACCEPT
We’ve conducted extensive studies to uncover which types of blog posts work — and which don’t. Here are some of our most successful blog post types:
