We favour articles that are simple and provide actionable advice for our readers. This will allow them to extract value from your contribution while positioning you as an expert who gives reliable advice. Articles that are “ how to” are great places to start.

While we want your advice to be simple, we don’t want it to be boring, we like articles that are off the beaten track and we can feel your personality through your words.

What we don’t publish
Articles submitted are allowed to contain at least one back link that leads to your site. Of course, we want our contributors to benefit from our traffic.
