Guest Post Guidelines Hey there, you blogging machine, you! I welcome guest posts from fellow travel bloggers who want to widen their reach and get noticed by the readers of A Passion and A Passport. Interested in learning more? 🙂 I am currently looking for these specific article types: 15+ best things to do in a particular city/area Day trips from popular cities/areas Long Weekend (3-day) itineraries Specific accommodation posts per city (top hotels/hostels/airbnbs) If you feel you have an idea that matches one of the above, feel free to contact me via email apassionandapassport@gmail.com NOTE: If you are looking to place a commercial link, please don’t pretend to be a blogger. I’ll catch on fast enough. Please email for rates. Specific Guest Post Guidelines: *Please read through the guidelines before submitting a pitch to ensure you agree with all before wasting anyone’s time. 🙂 Please make post at least 1,500 words. Search engines prefer more in-depth articles, meaning the longer your guest post on my site, the higher chance it will rank well in Google, meaning more opportunities for click throughs to your blog. I also can’t imagine conveying a well-thought out post idea in less. Give people what they want (people want information!) Write like you’re having fun – be witty, hilarious, downright silly. No one wants to read a horrifically boring article (nor will they). Throw in a few jokes or silly bits. 😎 Insert the keyword phrase “things to do in _____/day trips from _____/3 days in ___” at least 5 times throughout the post. Please make it sound as natural as possible. It’s good practice for SEO purposes. Yay, thanks! 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT. No duplicates from your personal blog or elsewhere. Send over 1 high quality picture for each thing to do/day trip. Feel free to source from Flickr CC with credit included in post, or provide links to sourced Pixabay photos (they’re free and awesome!) Please no close-up photos of yourself. I can source photos for you if need be, but give your best efforts to source yourself first. 🙂 This goes without saying, but any commercial links will be removed automatically. Please email me for commercial link rates. Aim for at least 15 things to do/see/eat, and at least 5 day trips (preferably more) from city/area. Include a “pre-travel” guide of the city, with short paragraphs of each: How to get around When to go Important things to pack Where to stay with recommended hotels Important phrases in native language (if applicable) Please structure it like posts below: Things to Do in X // 3 Days in X // Day Trips Please copy and paste text into an email, and attach photos to email renamed with the thing it is for. In return I can offer the following: – 2 do-follow links to blog posts relating to content or your blog homepage – social media promotion on Facebook and Twitter tagging your social media handles Note that I have rights to edit text as I see fit, and the possibility to add affiliate links should I feel this will greatly enhance the user experience. Let me know if you have any questions! Yay for expanding your blogging reach and producing quality content! You’re awesome! xx, Jessica
