Guest Post Best Practices

To make sure your article is a good fit for our audience at YourGuitarBrain, here are a few more important things to do before you pitch your article ideas:

  • Read some of the articles on the YourGuitarBrain blog. This is the best way to learn the types of content we publish and get a feel for the blog’s tone. 
  • Check YourGuitarBrain for our formatting style. Use Appropriate H1, etc. sizes. We’re more likely to accept a well-written post with formatting in line with what we use as it means our editorial team has less work to do, and we can publish your post quicker.
  • Follow best SEO practices. Think of good keyword distribution, alt tags on images and a killer title that’ll get people scrambling to click and read.
  • Check to see if we’ve published your topic already. Please make sure you check and see if we’ve already published a post on your topic. If we have, change your article subject, or consider whether or not you could write something with a fresh angle or from a different exciting perspective. 
  • Articles must be 100% Original: No re-published articles from your blog or elsewhere, please. It goes without saying that plagiarism has no place on our blog. 
  • Disclosures: Please fully disclose if you have a relationship with a company or person mentioned in the article (citing research from your site, say something like “Disclosure: I work for [company name]” or “This case study is from [name] a partner of mine”.
