Submission Guidelines:
Thank you for your interest in guest posting for Elliott Wave University… We are always looking for fresh new content that will enhance our readers lives.
But please read the following guidelines carefully. A well-crafted article that meets the following criteria has the best chance for acceptance…
•Read First: Before you try and write something for this site please read the content to get a feel for the tone, style and target market.
•On Target: This blog is about using Elliottwave Analysis to improve your investing and market analysis.
•No Pitch Necessary: You don’t need to get my approval to submit an article. Just submit it. If I like it I will publish it.
•Quality Writing: It should go without saying that the post must be well written… but you would be surprised. Writing quality is the number one reason post submissions get rejected.
- I have no interest in publishing articles by writers where English is not their native language, if grammar and word usage is awkward we aren’t interested.
- If you’re into article spinning then don’t bother submitting.
- I don’t want spammy type articles about credit cards, debt consolidation, bankruptcy etc.
What I do want is quality articles that add value to my reader’s lives and is on target for my audience.
•Editing: I may occasionally make small edits but my preference is to publish guest posts that require no editing. If significant editing is required it will not be published.
•Length: Ideally articles should be between 500 and 1500 words. But length is not the major criteria – writing quality is.
•Originality: The article should be 100% original to you and unpublished. It must be exclusive to Elliott Wave University and not appear in substantially similar form elsewhere.
•Self-Promotion: Obviously the goal of a guest post is to promote your business or blog by expanding your reach. There is nothing wrong with that. However, to get published you must also add value to my reader’s lives through your writing.
•Backlinks: A maximum of 2 backlinks to your site are acceptable and other backlinks to authority sites and referenced resources are encouraged as well. Backlinks contained in the article body should be relevant, add value and anchor text should read naturally and flow logically. Each backlink will be checked to be sure it is referring to a quality, established web site and the page referenced by the link is high quality and adds value to my readers and the article.
•Author Resource Box: Please include a brief author resource box with at least 1 of the allowed back-links so my readers can find you if they like your article.
•Submission Guidelines: When submitting an article please include it in the body of the email so that I can quickly glance over it. Also attach a fully HTML formatted text file (Notepad or equivalent) that I can use for cutting and pasting when it comes time to publish. The author resource box text, title tag, keyword tag, and description tag should be included at the end of the article files as well. If you have photos or image files for the article please include those as well in a separate file – please don’t paste them into your post document. Basically, your submission should contain everything necessary so that it is complete and ready-to-go for publishing with all files and information included.
•Where To Submit: Send to editor (-at-) fintrend [=dot=] com. Make sure to write “Guest Post” in the subject line so that if it gets trapped in my spam folders I will likely rescue it.
Again, I thank you for honoring this site and my readers with your brilliant writing. I also thank you for respecting my time by sending only posts that clearly follow these guidelines.
I look forward to publishing your article…
