Hey WP Mayor writer!

We're excited to have you on board to create some amazing content for our readers.

To ensure we're all on the same page, let's go through our writing guidelines. We'll keep things fun and simple while being crystal clear on what we expect from all our writers.

Writing Guidelines: Bringing Your Best to the Table

  1. Originality Rules: We're all about fresh perspectives, so your submissions should be 100% original and not published anywhere else. Let's give our readers something new to chew on.
  2. Wordsmith Wizardry: Craft your work with care – we're looking for well-written, clear, interesting, and above all, helpful content. Think of it as a friendly chat with our readers.
  3. Give Credit Where It's Due: If you're using data or statistics, please provide proper attribution with a hyperlink. Let's keep things honest and transparent.
  4. Educate, Don't Advertise: We're here to share knowledge, not sell products. So, keep your submissions educational and not promotional – our readers will love you for it.
  5. Keep It Snappy: Our readers are busy and they want content they can act on today. Use short sentences, simple words, and write in a conversational style to keep them engaged.
  6. SEO – The Secret Sauce: We want your posts to be discovered by as many readers as possible. So, think of an SEO-friendly post title and consider SEO strategies and keyword research when creating your content.
  7. Explore Within: We have a treasure trove of existing content. Include internal links to our articles to guide readers on their journey through WP Mayor.
  8. Image is Everything: Spruce up your posts with images, 1200px in width, optimized and named with SEO in mind. Don't forget to add relevant ALT text for accessibility and a caption if needed. When taking screenshots, avoid dark mode, it will help with accessibility.
  9. The Teaser: Entice our readers with an interesting excerpt and introduction, preferably using a personal approach about your own story – make them crave more.
  10. Use-Case Showtime: For every article you craft, include a real-life use-case that showcases the practical application of the topic you're covering. Use-cases add a personal touch and help our readers understand how the information can benefit them in their day-to-day endeavors. So, put on your creative hats and paint a vivid picture for our curious audience!
  11. FAQ Extravaganza: You know how we love making our content helpful and informative, right? That's why we'd like you to include 3 to 5 frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to your article's subject matter. Anticipate what our readers might want to know, and provide clear and concise answers. FAQs add value and give readers a sense of satisfaction as they walk away with all their burning questions addressed. Plus it helps with our SEO efforts.
  12. Mind the Meta: Don't forget to include a meta description in the Yoast SEO settings – it's like a window into your content so make sure it clearly depicts the topic at hand while fitting into the word length required by Yoast SEO.
