To our future guest bloggers and partners,
Hello and welcome. To begin with, we want to thank you for considering us as potential partners. If you have a passion for home decor and you’re wondering where you should share that passion, you’ve come to the right place. We know how hard it is to break into the niche and to maintain your reputation once you’ve got in it. This is why we’re looking for high-quality content writers to join our team.
The guest bloggers on our site receive thousands of views every month. The majority of the posts on our page reach up to 10 000 views which translates to about 2 500 views on your personal website or page. At House Affection, we prioritize passion and content quality over anything else. We aim to help you gain exposure on social media and, as a result of our SEO services, we can also help you to gain exposure across our other channels as well.
All About Writing For Us
Writing for Home Affection isn’t like writing for any other website. We have strict guidelines that need to be followed if you want to be accepted to write for us. We need writers who have a passion for home decor who want to spread their knowledge to a large population. This isn’t a gig for people who spin and rewrite content. Rather, it’s one for those who are looking to expand their network and relay information through their guest blog.
If you’re debating whether you should be writing for us, you should know about the benefits that come with doing so. While we don’t pay for the submissions and posts that we’re sent, we do pay in other ways. We send high-quality and targeted traffic to our guest bloggers which will also help you to expand your client and consumer base. Out of the 2 500 people that are directed to your page, some of them will want you to write for their websites and blogs as well.
At our core, we believe that SEO is one of the best ways to increase sales and our consumer base. That’s why search engine optimization is at the heart of everything we do. As long as you provide unique and high-quality content, we’ll take care of the rest! Everything that goes onto our website has been researched and is sure to provide a large amount of information.
We don’t want you to write content that doesn’t benefit you as well. This is why we try to make the partnership as advantageous as possible.
Search Engine Rankings
By guest posting, you can increase the authority of your writing and your posts in general. We use backlinks to support your domain and to direct people to your personal page. This will increase your ranking in Google and, as a result, allow more people to access your website. You’ll receive more page views and more clients than ever before.
Expand Your Network
Guest blogging allows you to expand your network. Your reputation will build and your author profile will be more recognized. Not only this but the more people recognize you, the more they’ll talk about you. Word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to expand your business. Even if you only receive a 1% follow-up from potential clients, these are still clients that you didn’t have before guest blogging.
Type of Content
When it comes to the kind of content that we accept, we’re pretty open-minded. With a few exceptions, you can send us nearly anything that crosses your mind.
You should know however that we currently don’t accept any submissions that act as self-promotion. We also don’t accept press releases. Product comparisons won’t be accepted. However, we do accept product reviews.
If you’re torn between which topics you should choose from, here is a list of our favorite types of post.
- The best home decor ideas of 2020
- Product reviews of the things you’ve tried
- Tips and tricks for how to make your home pop
- How-to guides
- Information about the products that will be released
How to Guest Post
To start, you can send us either a pitch or a draft. These can be sent by email to [email protected]. Alternatively, you can send us your draft or pitch using the form on our website. Your email should include an attachment which will be your full draft or pitch. We will review the article or publish your post within 3 days. After this time has passed, you’ll hear from us whether you’ve been accepted or not. For those that we reject, we don’t provide an explanation. However, you will retain full rights to your writing and are free to submit it elsewhere.
If you’re wondering whether your post matches our standards, here are a few tips to get you started.
- Your guest post should only cover topics within our niche and you should aim to provide our audience with information.
- Your guest post should be a maximum of 2000 words and a minimum of 800. So long as your topic has been thoroughly covered, you’re in the clear.
- We require a minimum of 1 image per blog post. This will make the post more readable.
- We encourage links so long as they aren’t directing readers to our competition. If there is specific meta-data or a meta-description that you want us to include, you should say so.
- Your article should always include a conclusion.
- We accept any blog format so long as it’s not a read-only copy. We must be able to edit your draft.
