Background
With 6 years of blogging experience, 80 published articles, hundreds of thousands of impressions, and a powerful presence on Google SERP, I am proud to announce that I am accepting guest posts on Bachir Bastien.
I never considered allowing guest posts on Bachir Bastien, but given the increasing number of bloggers who have asked, I was compelled to reconsider my position. If allowing others to share a post on Bachir Bastien can help a blogger reach a wider audience, why not?
To create the high-quality content that my readers expect, I am sharing the rules I abide by and that I want anyone who shares a post on my blog to follow.
Foremost:
- The article must be original and unique and should address a specific problem. The format in which you write the article doesn’t matter as long as it solves the reader’s problem innovatively.
- The article should be completely free of self-promotion. When a blogger submits an article, I will request that they eliminate any promotional links or other materials, or I will do it for them if we both agree to publish the article in Bachir Bastien.
- The article must not contain any religious, political, or sexual materials.
- The article must differ from articles already published in Bachir Bastien. To provide original content to my readers and maintain my presence on Google, I cannot accept any duplicate materials.
- The article must match the three major themes of my website, namely, personal development, leadership, and communication. I also welcome articles on life coaching.
- Keep the article under 1400 words.
Before Submitting Your Script, Please:
- Check your article for punctuation, spelling, grammar, syntax, and style errors.
- Make sure your article has not been published anywhere else.
N. B: If, after a certain amount of time, you decide to publish your article elsewhere, let me know and I will remove it from my platform.
- Make sure you quote third parties’ material properly. I may ask for the sources if I deem it necessary. Don’t plagiarize!
- Provide clear illustrations, photographs, drawings, charts & graphs artwork to explain your article. Submissions must be high resolution, 300 DPI, be in JPEG format, and no larger than 0.5 MB in size.
- Submit captions and alt text with your file with no more than 10 words.
- Ensure that the photos you submit are acquired from legitimate stock or specialized providers and do not infringe on any copyright laws.
- Incorporate headings and subheadings to organize your article and make it easier to transition between ideas. Use upper and lower case, sentence style, in subheads.
- Write clearly and concisely. The fewer words, the better.
- Use italics only where appropriate.
- Use United States spelling standards.
How to Submit Your Article
- Submit your article here: Paste the article’s content in the message body.
- Send me a short bio with no more than 50 words with links to your social media accounts and WordPress blog if you possess one.
I will contact you after you submit your article to acknowledge receipt of your work. I will go over the article and if it’s a good fit, I will contact you to inform you that your article has been accepted. Once you have agreed to publish your article on my platform, I will review and revise your article with your approval before I publish it.
Remember:
- Bachir Bastien accepts articles for publication on the condition that they are contributed exclusively to him.
- I reserve the right to edit all reader contributions for clarity, grammatical accuracy, logic, or length. Changes (sentence structure, punctuation, spelling, grammar, syntax, and lengths) will be made at my discretion.
- Only submit your article if you are certain it solves a problem in a unique, engaging, and effective way.
- I can only accept 5 articles per month. I want to give my readers enough time to assimilate an article before publishing another.
