Anyone, of any age, from any location can submit an original guest post (not previously published anywhere online) with a bio for inclusion on the blog. This is a blog for real people who are willing to share themselves vulnerably and authentically.
Why Contribute to HealingWell.com?
- Your post will receive broad exposure, promoted to 2,700+ Twitter followers, 5,700+ Facebook fans, 16,000+ newsletter subscribers, and 114,000 community members. HealingWell.com receives more than 3 million page views per month. Guest bloggers receive the community’s full attention when they share their wisdom.
- The HealingWell.com community is highly responsive through comments on the site and the social media feedback, creating a rewarding experience all around.
- Every post includes a bio with links back to your site. Most contributors note that featuring their writing on HealingWell.com increases traffic and subscribers to their blog.
- I may optionally work with writers to strengthen their posts through editing. This will hopefully result in better quality for you and HealingWell.
Writing Guidelines:
- Share your ideas/tips/message using personal stories that others can connect with. It’s far more powerful to show us your struggles and then offer tips to overcome them than it is to write about it theoretically, with a sense of authority.
- Offer practical information that will help readers address similar challenges. It doesn’t need to be a list of tips, but it needs to come back to the readers somehow.
- Seek to inspire and uplift readers. Encourage them to find their own path to mindful living and healing well.
- Provide original, personal, and honest work. Original means your post has never before been published anywhere, including your own blog. Please note that I do not publish excerpts from books, but I do accept credible book reviews.
- Differentiate your post. Many posts cover similar ideas, and that’s perfectly OK! If you share your own story and unique reflections, this will be sufficient to diversify it.
- Reserve self promotion to your bio (as opposed to marketing a course, workshop, or service directly in the post).
How to Submit:
- Send your post in Microsoft Word, keeping paragraphs to 3-4 sentences.
- Include bolded subtitles or parts for emphasis and bullet points or numbers, where it makes sense.
- Keep your post between 700-1,000 words.
- Include a photo of yourself and / or any photos or images you own that may illustrate the message of your post.
- Email your post to Peter at webmaster(AT) healingwell(DOT)com
- Write "Blog Submission" in the subject line.
- It may take a few days before you receive a response, but please know I respond to everyone who submits.
- Thank you being willing to share your stories, experiences and insights. You are chronically awesome!
