Fearless flyer is growing. I am open to talented writers and designers to contribute articles. The more content – the better.
Of course, I’m not looking for just any article – they have to follow a certain type:
What type of articles do I want?
This is already a given: They have to be web or graphic design related. I am also accepting articles about Freelancing, Internet writing, Blogging, WordPress, Programming and SEO. They also have to be original content. I check for plagiarism. I don’t accept articles that have been published elsewhere.
I also aim for articles that are useful to other designers.
Here are some examples:
Round ups and design inspiration:
How to’s / Tutorials (Photoshop or code):
Plugin reviews, WordPress tips, tricks and hacks
In summary – I’m looking for original, design related articles – that are useful to other people.
No Duplicates Please
Google doesn’t like it when a copy of an article is found in two places. Duplicate content (or content that you didn’t write yourself), is a no no. Besides – nothing is more interesting than your own words, your own thoughts and your own work!
It doesn’t have to be a Professional Write Up
That’s correct. I’m a designer first and a blogger second. I don’t judge an article based on how well it’s written, but how good the content value is. I don’t nitpick on grammar nor fuss about spelling or capitalization. Besides, those are things that I can correct (I proofread pretty good).
Though there are some things I would like to see:
- I like images. This means try to include illustrations and diagrams. Handwritten annotations, comments with arrows – these things make the article more personal (and I like that!)
- Short and concise. Straight to the point articles are the best. No thesis papers, no life stories (unless they’re real interesting), no concept theories etc.
- Make them easy to read. Bullet points are good. Try to make them as if you’re talking to your reader face to face.
So what’s in it for you? Why should you publish here?
I guarantee you exposure. You will get full credit to your article including a short bio and a link to your personal website.
At the same time you are building a genuine relationship with a design fanatic such as myself. I may be able to help you out with your logo or layout – who knows. I guess what I’m saying is: write for me and I’ll be your friend.
