Our Content Standards
What Makes Great Content for GuidingHow
Practical & Actionable
Every article must provide clear, implementable steps readers can take immediately. Theory without application doesn’t help our audience.
Experience-Driven
We value firsthand experience over research-based summaries. Have you actually implemented what you’re writing about? Share real examples, case studies, and lessons learned.
Original Insights
Don’t rehash what’s already been written a hundred times. Bring a unique perspective, proprietary data, or fresh approach to the topic.
Well-Researched
Back up claims with credible sources, statistics, and data. Include links to reputable sources that add value for readers.
Comprehensive Yet Focused
Cover topics thoroughly without unnecessary fluff. Respect your readers’ time by getting to the point while providing depth where it matters.
Properly Structured
Use clear headings, short paragraphs, bullet points, and visual elements to improve readability. Make content scannable for busy professionals.
SEO-Optimized
Incorporate relevant keywords naturally without keyword stuffing. Write for humans first, search engines second.
