Opportunities

We gladly consider guest post submissions for Akiranews and have set out below the guidelines for guest entries.

What’s in it for You?

  • Guest contributors who submit a great entry will be allowed to submit content for other network sites
  • Awesome brand and profile opportunity
  • Solid Search Engine optimization (SEO) benefits
  • Intro- and outro by-line with your URL, both on the front page (intro by-line only, we publish excerpts) and below the entry
  • ‘Link drop’ opportunities. You can embed relevant links to owned content in your post (see also: the rules)

The Rules

  • Unique content: This is a no-brainer, people submitting content published elsewhere already will be publicly disclosed here and at Sigorean.
  • Added value: Your submissions should bring added value to the site. We are not looking for guest submitters who want to grab a quick link, instead we want to offer guest posters a broader platform, and the possibility to be featured on Akiranews main page of our site.
  • Your guest entry should be good enough to be linked as ‘reference post’ when you try to land a paid writing gig somewhere.
  • No Silly Lists: Although list entries can be (very) popular, that’s not what we are looking for. If you want to write a xx Ways to…, make it at least 7 or more. Your entry should be Resumé-worthy quality.
  • Link to previous content: Your entry can contain at least one link to related previously posted content. You can use our on-site search to easily find related content.
  • Max. 1 link/125 words: we are generous and allow you to include any related link in your entry, up to 1 link/125 words. This number is an accepted standard for SEO strategies. Keep in mind that 1 link/125 words also includes the links in your by-line. This means that if your post is 1200-1250 words, you can add up to 7 links
  • No unethical links: Guest entries can not contain links to unethical sites, software or commercial, keyword strong unrelated links. If you want to plug your printer ink cartridge shop, you will have to purchase a ‘promotional guest post’ at the standard sponsored post rate. Don’t include cloaked or shortened links.
  • Extended promotion: Your guest entry will be promoted via several of our social media accounts.
  • Regular awesome guest submissions can result in a paid gig in the future
