Write for Single Grain

Guidelines

It’s very important that we maintain the quality of the blog’s content, and guest posts are no exception.

Here’s what we look for in our posts:

• * Relevant, well-researched posts on digital marketing topics
• * Tutorials/case studies/step-by-step guides/how to’s
• * At least one actionable takeaway from each post
• * Must be completely original content

Format

• * Casual yet knowledgeable tone.
• * Include the KD/search volume for the main keyword.
• * All facts/stats must be backed up with a link to current research or a case study confirming it.
• * Include at least 5-6 relevant images/screenshots (no stock photos) in the body of the post. These should be cited beneath the image with “Source: [source domain hyperlinked to the URL].“
• * Headlines must hook the readers (Copyblogger has great examples).
• * Keep paragraphs relatively short (5 sentences or less) for easier reading. Use one-sentence paragraphs sparingly.
• * Minimum of 2,000 words per post. Kudos for 3,000+ words.
