However, there’s one catch:

I Want High Quality Articles – or Nothing at All

I’d love to feature your work on this blog. However, in order to be published on this website, your article needs to be of a good quality. The reason for this is simple: I want to confront my readership only with the best material possible. This website does not need lame articles with titles such as:

  • 999 Unique Ways to Write Your Shopping List
  • 100 Tricks to Dust off Your Closet

If you choose to submit an article, make it unique, exciting and thrilling. Put your heart into the article. Show the readers what they can do to improve their situation. Excellent websites that feature the kind of guest posts I’m looking for are thechangeblog.com or addicted2success.com. Write from your personal perspective or use a more authoritative tone. Whatever you prefer. All that matters is that your advice is truly insightful, beneficial and helpful for the reader.

Amaze me, surprise me and make me beg for more of your fantastic work. Put yourself into my shoes, I read quite a lot of article submissions. Many of them are not at all helpful or beneficial to the reader. Think about exciting topics that no one speaks about, such as:

  • Stop Being a Theory Junkie
  • 3 Reasons You Don’t Need How-To Articles
  • 10 Crazy Ways to Become Successful
  • 5 Evil Productivity Tricks Bosses Use against YOU

The more you stand out, the higher your chances to be published with us.

Writing Guidelines

  1. Well-written: Submit only high-quality articles.
  2. Original content: Not previously published; will not be republished elsewhere.
  3. Length: Around 1500 words, 2000+ is even better.
  4. Biography: Include a bio with up to one link to your personal website.
  5. References: Include your sources. Adding links to scientific studies is encouraged.
  6. No self-promotion! Questionable links within the text will be removed.
  7. Engage readers: Include a relevant question at the end of the article.
  8. No cursing, swear words or offensive language. Google doesn’t like it.
  9. Image: Make a suggestion for a good title image. Make sure that the image can be used under a Creative Commons license for commercial purposes. Most of the time I use Flickr to find excellent images.
  10. Send your article proposal to: planetofsuccess.com, with the title: “Guest Article Submission”
  11. Make sure your email address is connected to Gravatar so that readers can see your profile photo.
