Hi there,
If you end up here it means that you’d like to submit a guest post for potential publication.
That’s great!
To be successf ul in submission t here is f ew point s t o f ollow, please read caref ully:
I don’t accept posts from random and not relevant companies looking to get links to a product
or service. Sorry.
I think that airbrushdoc audience has advanced knowledge. That means I can’t accept posts
on beginner info that’s been said million times already.
Please don’t email me to ask to accept your guest posts, I will accept all good and useful posts
that deserve it. Thanks!
St ill wit h me? Awesome.
I’m sure you are a really nice person with something smart to say and have a good idea on what
to write. If it’s true, please read this page. It provides information that will help your post to get
accepted.
Your Post Should be Well Writ t en
My audience relies on me to deliver only the best. (I hope that one day I may say that having
post approved on my web is a stamp of prestige!)
Here are some t ips t o help:
Demonstrate good command of language, grammar, punctuation, clarity, style and tone. Run
your content through spell check, and try to catch all the typos. I will anyway reserve a privilege
to make additional changes to the article. I understand that there may be some not native
English speaker and if I really like the info provided your post might be edited for quality and
clarity. Don’t be offended; it’s normal. You’ll have ample opportunity to approve our edits
before publication.
Edit your post well, and rewrite it a few times. It’s a good idea to set your post aside for a day
or two and come back to it with fresh eyes.
Use an outline, and structure your post well. Sub-headers and bullet points or strong impact
statements help your content stay on track.
Have a well-rounded wrap-up. A good conclusion is one of the most neglected areas of guest
posts. Please end yours with a good bang that encourages conversation and commentary.
Post Should Be Relevant
Our blog covers topics on airbrushing, airbrush artists, airbrush tips and tricks, how-to(s),
making stencils and other airbrush relevant topics. If you airbrush awesome or perhaps
something unusual and want to submit your gallery please add some biography (i.e. how you
started airbrushing, when, what tools you use, some achievements or recommendations for
beginners… not just images).
2. Don’t ask to post on cosmetics products or anything else not relevant to airbrush. The answer
is no.
Post Should be Usef ul
Our readers appreciate interesting, useful, practical, helpful information that brings them
significant benefits. Be an expert and educate, teach and give strategies to help them to
improve their skills.
Noticed a common problem you know how to solve? Are there tips, tricks and tactics that have
improved your skills or business?
Post Should Be Unique
I expect content on topics that is different, fresh, or that takes a new angle on old topics.
Be creative. Present it in a new or different way that gets people paying attention. Be original
and unique. Go through this blog to find out what I haven’t covered yet – beat me to the punch.
Challenge me – and challenge my readers with a fresh idea. Be interesting. Tell a story, use a
great metaphor, or write some thought-provoking material.
Extra-Helpful Basics
You can also add links to videos that may be embedded in the post but I will appreciate if the
video will be yours. If you link to someone else, the video should be published with creative
common license (YouTube videos with Standard YouTube License will not be accepted)
About Aut hor Box. Please include an author bio with your guest post, and make it fun and
interesting. (You can include a link to your site, because if you’ve read this far, we’re pretty sure
you’re not some random shady company. It is smart to include a link or two to a relevant post
on our blog within your post (I reserve the rights to do that myself in some cases). You may
also link out to other relevant posts on the Internet if you’d like. Don’t forget to mention your
email if you want me to let you know about post acceptance and also tell me if you want that
email mentioned in about aut hor box. I’ll be happy if you provide some avatar to include in the
same box.
Af f iliat e links are not permit t ed. Any post with affiliate link (link that makes you money) will
not be accepted or the link will be deleted.
We may take care of finding a nice photo to match to your post if you don’t send one in.
Please credit all sources, assets and use common sense.
Your post must be original work that hasn’t been offered or published elsewhere.
A guest post is a gift that you give away in exchange to gain a backlink or exposure. You may
republish extracts – for example, on your own site, but the article in its entirety should not
appear elsewhere.
Don’t worry, I’ll credit you as aut hor.
