We are always on the lookout for talented writers who can provide our audience of guitar lovers with valuable and engaging content. To ensure that we maintain a high standard of quality for our readers, we have established the following guest post guidelines.
1. Content Quality and Relevance
– Your article should be original, well-written, and not previously published elsewhere (including your own blog or website). We may use tools to check for plagiarism. Articles that are deemed to be low quality or irrelevant to our website will not be accepted.
– Your post should be relevant to our audience, focusing on topics related to guitars, playing techniques, gear reviews, music theory, or personal experiences with learning or teaching guitar.
– Your content should be informative, engaging, and provide value to our readers. Avoid overly promotional or self-serving content.
– Avoid excessive use of AI content generation – we want real content that shares genuine experience and expertise from real people.
– Aim for a minimum of 800 words. Longer, in-depth articles are preferred.
2. Formatting and Structure
– Use proper headings (H2, H3, etc.), bullet points, and numbered lists to organize your content and make it easy to read.
– Break your content into short paragraphs for better readability.
– Include relevant images, videos, or other media to support your content. Ensure that you have the rights to use these media and provide proper attribution if necessary.
– Use a clear and concise writing style, free of jargon or complex language. Write in a conversational tone that connects with our readers.
3. Links
– You may include up to two relevant links to your own website or blog within the content. These links should be helpful and informative for our readers, not just for promotional purposes.
– Feel free to link to other high-quality, authoritative sources to support your content.
