Guest Post Content Tips

The guiding light behind our blog is to share content that’s educational, engaging, and entertaining.

i. Posts should be 500 – 1,500+ words in length. We find this is a perfect size of post, and you’ll fit in with the rest of our blog this way. Longer is good, too.

ii. Break up your content, so it’s easy to read. This means including headings, subheadings, bullets, and any other visual elements to increase the readability of your piece.

iii. Write in a natural, conversational tone. We want to share content that is authoritative, but not robotic. We’re producing blog content — not Wikipedia pages, so don’t shy away from showing off your sense of humour. 

iv. All content MUST BE ORIGINAL. We do not accept duplicate or syndicated content as guest posts. If your post has appeared anywhere else on the web, we can’t publish it on our blog. If you quote other content, link to it.

v. Always name your sources. We understand that you’re an expert, but our audience might not be so sure. 

vi. Talk about your any topic from your experience and observation.

vii. Take a position. If you disagree with common wisdom on a topic, talk about why the mainstream point of view is wrong or misleading. Back up your perspective with facts. Take screenshots. Include interesting data. Support your arguments with external references.

Other Things to Include in Your Guest Post

Outbound Links. Does somebody else have a great point of view on a topic? Want to make sure people know a certain definition of a word or concept? Link to it. 

Make sure these links are to authoritative sites. Only link to your site if it’s a highly relevant blog post.
Lists and Bullets. 

Most people skim articles until they find the value. Bullet points make this easy.
Actionable Takeaways. Recap the takeaways of your article as bullet points at the end of your post.

NOTE: Class With Mason reserves full editorial control and may edit or tweak submissions as we see fit. These tweaks include anything from removing too much self-promotion to optimizing for SEO, edits both small and large, and more.
