So you are interested in self development and/or life coaching and you fancy having a crack at writing for A Daring Adventure. Well good for you!
At the time of writing we have over 3,000 subscribers and rising rapidly. It also has an Alexa ranking of 70,000, so there is plenty of opportunity to get your name in front of a great many extra eager eyes.
And you probably want to know what’s required for me to consider running it then?
Of course you do, it would be a shame to spend 19 hours comprising your list of ‘10 Reasons Why Life Coaching Is A Scam’, only for me to say I don’t like list posts. It may be wise to look at some of the guest posts I have run before and the ones that generated the most comments. If you’re a Life Coach, that’s cool by me and I have no problems about linking to other life coach sites.
Currently I’m looking to run posts on The Silver Method, alternative takes on Time Management (not Get Things Done re-hash’s) and maybe some aspects of Business Coaching.
I assess each post as I get it and will advise within 72 hours whether I’ll run it. I do not hold slots open for people on the promise that they supply something by a deadline.
Here are the main criteria.
- Must have some relevance to life coaching, self-development, spirituality or wellness. Finance and business/sales considered
- Minimum of 800 words (excluding bio) with no maximum
- Posts to reflect a depth of knowledge on the topic
- No duplicate posts. If you are using an old post, substantial re-writing must be undertaken
- No list posts unless they are really funny or truly excellent
- No posts on GOAL SETTING, I’ve done it to death. The same goes for STRESS MANAGEMENT, unless it is a really unique take.
- Controversial posts welcomed and it is not necessary to agree with me or my point of view
- The writer must supply a bio with a URL to where they would like it to link to
- The author must agree to get involved in the comments section and also with social marketing
- Posts for consideration must be supplied in either Word, Pages or Text format with no HTML embedded
- Author agrees to accept minor editing and insertion of images and links including expanding on the bio if necessary or relevant
- Guest posts usually run on a Thursday or Friday – exceptions may be made under certain circumstances.
All posts are run at my discretion and I turn down way more than I accept. The usual reasons are because they don’t offer anything I couldn’t do, the posts are lacking in any real depth, or they require so much editing that I could write a post in the time it takes me to do so. I will do my best to meet any requirements you may have, but I cannot promise.
Posts can be sent to tim at a daring adventure dot com, but please don’t e-mail me asking if you can submit a post, just send the damn thing!
