Content Quality Requirements
Content length: Minimum 3000 words & 3 images (although 5 – 10 is preferred). We look for 10X content. This means posts that are carefully researched with unique value, insights, analysis, and most of all, not obvious. Images can include including screenshots to showcase examples or explain any data/research and examples from around the web to back up advice.
We are not interested in sales pitches and will not include calls to action at the end of your article.
Guest Post Guidelines
To improve your chances of success, please do the following:
- The topic should directly address addiction, drug/alcohol abuse, and treatment, not related or tangential side-topics.
- Use the search box on the blog to make sure we haven’t covered your topic already. Your guest post should fill a gap in our content, or present a unique angle on an already covered topic.
- You should not be a novice/amateur writer in the field of addiction.
- We prefer, and give precedence to, content that is reviewed for accuracy by medically licensed personnel, however, if you cannot provide such checking, we may use our staff to do so (in which case additional fees apply).
- Read a few posts on the blog to get a feel for the voice and tone we use. While the advice you’re sharing should be interesting to experts, it should still be easy for anyone to read and understand.
- It should go without saying that we only consider original content. We reserve the right to edit and adapt your guest blog content as we see fit, as well as update it in the future for accuracy and comprehensiveness. We also reserve the right to include information, links, and other elements.
