Do you have a knack for writing online? Or have blogs that you write to help the world solve various things in their day-to-day life?

I’ve created this publication to help people who’re wanting to learn blogging from the world’s best. When you contribute, you’re not only helping people earn living blogging online, you’re also attempting to make a dent in the universe with your work.

This space isn’t for self-promotion, not even for me. I’m a digital marketing consultant and I have a ton of content that can be shared, but I’ll never link to any of my pages, the only place where I will link to my blog is my own profile. I expect the same from you.

I’ve read enough content to figure out if the post is self-promotion or a genuine contribution to this community. I actually want to make a dent in the universe with my work, expecting the same from you.

Submission guidelines

1. All submissions strictly need to be on two themes, Blogging & Make money online.
2. I want you to share your practical experience with your articles, not just a salesy piece of text optimized around a CTA.
3. I know this publication targets a wide category & I want to give you the creative liberty to come up with topics that directly fall under blogging & make money online. Here are some ideas to light up your neurons:
   1) List of books,
   2) A book review,
   3) A case study
   4) Specific tactics to move the needle for the blogs of our fellow community mate.
4. I don’t want this publication to turn into a self-promotion site. I will be neutral for my own content & link only if that’s in the best interest of the end-users. Remember, the submission will be manually monitored.
5. I’m not a grammar nazi but I’d humbly request to write that makes sense. This is a serious business, mistakes will be nurtured but misleading write-ups won’t be entertained. Do a spell check, use Grammarly if you don’t feel confident.
6. Sharing other’s work that left an impact on you has the highest chances of being accepted. Let’s grow together and give credit & exposure to all those who deserve it.
7. In case I don’t accept your submissions, I won’t always message and inform the reason. I have a lot on my plate already. The most common reason will be self-promotion and poor quality content that doesn’t meet the standards I’m looking for.
8. One thing I strictly don’t want is articles that are already published elsewhere & import it on medium. I love that feature, but not for this publication. It's a black spot on the user experience I want to give to the users of this community.

What am I looking for in your content?

• Elementary/Basics & How-To’s: Have a clear understanding of the basics that you think many people can benefit from? I need you, join hands to empower the world.
• Case studies: Are you that guy who does a lot of experiments & loves to share insights of those experiments? You’re the person I want to spend my day with.
• Scripts & Templates: Have a template/scripts that worked like a charm for you? Or have a template that can help beginners create a blog post effectively? Good, because I need step-by-step instructions to help people.
• Emerging opportunities: Desperately feel about some opportunity or trend? It can be happening for years from now. You can shed some light on that & inspire many for that opportunity.
• Campaign ideas: Marketing is a series of campaigns & you must have creative ways to run campaigns. Share with this community, it will benefit all of us.
• Tools. A good worker is as good as his tools, educating everyone about various tools that you use or are aware of will do good for everyone in this community.
• High-level strategies. How to get traffic to a newly created blog? How to grow followers on Instagram organically? Strategies save the day.

To do before submitting:

• Have a medium profile ready, short bio, relevant links & be specific.
• At The Blogging School, your article is your art. Except for your name, I’d not withstand personal promotions & CTAs such as “buy this product”, “Signup for the newsletter” or “follow me on Twitter”, etc. Your profile has all these things already, let the reader come to your profile and find them. That has more chances of converting than you mentioning it upfront.
• Emojis & GIFs are cool but keep the minimum.
• Add a cover image from sources like Unsplash, Pixabay, or Pexels. Don’t forget to cite the photographer.
• You’re welcome to add a Resource section at the end of the post, to link to studies to further reading. Yes! It can be your blog posts, but only at the bottom of the post.

Happy learning & creating
