GUEST POST SUBMISSION
Thanks for your interest in guest posting on darlingsteps.com! I’m always interested in receiving well-written, unique posts from a variety of standpoints which will encourage and inspire my readers.
Before submitting your post for consideration, please note the following guidelines:
Submission of your guest post does not guarantee publication. Your submission will be reviewed and if it will benefit darlingsteps.com readers, it is likely to be published.
In keeping with the spirit of darlingsteps.com, all guest posts should offer parenting, family travel or motherhood related tips, tricks or ideas.
Absolutely no MLMs or the like will be permitted for consideration.
Preference will be given to those who demonstrate a genuine interest in darlingsteps.com as a reader or follower.
Submissions with a “visit my site” or “check out my product” type of feel will not be accepted.
Posts must be high-quality, original content (i.e. not published anywhere else online).
Please limit your post to 1500 words or less.
(If you aren’t sure what your word count is, the Word Count Tool is handy: http://www.wordcounttool.com/ )
Use of bullets, lists, and short paragraphs is mandatory.
Please make a concerted effort to use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Submissions which require excessive editing will not be accepted.
Make sure any links in your post are relevant and valid. Links deemed to be irrelevant to the main idea of your post will be removed without notice.
Likewise, any non-working links will be removed without notice.
Don’t forget to include a short bio in the appropriate field below. Feel free to include a link to your site.
darlingsteps.com does not offer monetary compensation for guest posts at this time.
These guidelines are not intended to stifle your creativity but to streamline our guest posting process. Submissions that closely adhere to these guidelines are much more likely to be published!
If your guest post is accepted, it usually takes between 1-2 weeks for your guest post to be published.
Due to the nature of blogging, I really can’t make any guarantees about when your post will be published (but, will always do my best to notify you at least 2 days in advance of when it will go live!)
