Guest Blog Guidelines
I'm looking for guest blogs of 400-500
words.
 Case studies, vignettes and
how to advice that include VERY specific personal
stories that only you could tell will receive priority.
Funny, philosophical, provocative stories with a twist
written in your own recognizable style will also pique
my curiosity. If you are doing well by doing good in the
world I'm all ears.
-
I'm also looking for
strategies that have worked for you or your company
that are creative, fun, unusual, quirky, savvy or
strange in any category (food, products, clothes,
services etc.). Tell me how you got a reporter or
producer's attention and what happened from pitch to
appearance or interview.
-
If you tell a great
story about some publicity you received include the
results of your media placement/appearance not only
in bottom line results (quantitative sales) but also
the opportunities, partnerships, experiences, more
media, and lessons learned that came out of it.
-
Do you have press
release or pitch letter which got the reporter or
producer to call you back? Love to see it and hear
why it was so effective or what the reporter or
producer said that appealed to them.
-
Please do *not* send
previously published articles, quotes that have been
used by the media, or links to your blog or website
from which to pull quotes.

Thank you all in advance
for your help!
What I'm NOT interested in:
-
Content with
scientific, tech, sales or specialized jargon
-
Blatant self promotion
for you, your product or your company
-
Suggestions of people I
should speak to
-
General tips that
anyone could give
 The more specific you are
the better. Use vivid details, discuss specific
circumstances that have stood out in your mind or your
memory. Share examples that make the situation come
alive.
Once your blog is accepted you'll be asked to choose a
jpg photo of yourself or of something that represents
your story/idea. You'll get links to your websites,
blogs etc. and a short, 3 line bio of yourself.
We would be delighted if you announce your blog
contribution on your social networks, link to your own
blog and tell your lists about it.
Product Review
I would be happy to review
or write about your product if I believe it is a good
match for the interests of our audience. Please DO NOT
send it though before I have approved it. Please
describe your product and it's benefits in a paragraph
and let me know how it has helped people. Products sent
that have not been approved will not be reviewed.
Therefore you will receive the sending address once your
submission has passed my interest-o-meter. You'll only
hear back from me if I'm interested. Thanks for thinking
of me and our community!
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the volume of submissions I
can only reply to those that I feel are a good fit.
You are always welcome to post comments as often as you
like and I heartily encourage you to express yourself.
Thank you for participating in this dialog. I'm looking
forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,
Susan
