Guest post requirements
We love guest posts, but we do get a high volume of requests daily. As such, Mod Girl Marketing only accepts posts that are high-quality, timely, accurate, actionable, original, and resonate with our audience. Here are some best practices that will increase your chances of getting your post selected.
Modgirlmarketing.com has a DA 37, PA 41, Low spam score, Unique IP Address and traffic of around 8,300 visits per month.
1. Make sure we haven’t already covered your idea
We’ve been around for over a decade, so this is a must! If we have covered your topic, we may still be interested if you can offer something more up-to-date or approach it with a fresh angle or different perspective. The best way to see if we’ve covered your topic is to do a site search on Google:
site:ModGirlMarketing.com [topic]
2. Check our specs
Here’s what we want:
– Length: 1,000 words minimum (but don’t add fluff if you don’t hit that mark)
– Short intro: 150 words. Introduce your topic and then tell the reader what the post will cover.
– Friendly tone: Conversational, not corporate.
– High quality: Original, actionable, organized, and accurate.
– Skimmability: Headings, subheadings, short paragraphs, etc.
– Please use sentence case with your headings.
– Images: NO STOCK IMAGES & COPYRIGHTED IMAGES. You should own the images that you share with your blog post draft. Images should add value by illustrating concepts and data. A Google image search should be more than sufficient; just be sure to cite the image source link under the image. You can also reuse any of our images.
Here’s what we DON’T want:
– Too many backlinks: You can include a maximum of 3 per post, to your approved sites. That includes the link in your bio.
– Backlinks linking to sites that offer similar services as Mod Girl Marketing.
– Poorly written content.
– Thin content that demonstrates a lack of depth of knowledge on a topic.
– Fluff: redundant, filler words, uses many words to say little.
– Overly promotional content.
– Previously published or sponsored content.
– Stock images / Copyright Images.
– Crypto/CBD/Gambling topics and links.
What to expect
We get a large volume of guest pitches, so please be patient with us throughout the process.
– Pitch response: If your pitch is chosen, we’ll do our best to respond within 5 business days. Please follow up in two weeks if you haven’t heard from us.
– Outline: Once we nail down the topic and title, we’ll request an outline. If the outline is approved, you’ll get notified.
– Draft: If the draft meets our quality standards, we’ll move on to editing. If the draft does not meet our quality standards (i.e., it is thin content and/or cannot be improved without heavy edits), we will let you know that we cannot move forward with the post.
– Edits: If needed, we will edit the content to align with our standards as well as the Mod Girl Marketing style guide. If we need anything on your end— a better-quality image, a change to a section, or further elaboration on something, we’ll let you know.
– Publishing: Depending on the level of edits needed and our content calendar needs, your post could get published anywhere from 1-3 weeks after you’ve submitted it. This can be longer if we are particularly backlogged.
