Guest Post Blogging Policy Guidelines For Article Contributors

I’m always happy to have people smarter than me do a guest post here on MT Herald.  There is far too much going on in the healthcare industry which I doubt I may be able to cover everything that’s going on. Hence I welcome with a bowed head anyone willing to share the information he/she has.

Furthermore, I used to get dozens of pitches a week for exchanging links from this blog which I usually deny or delete at the instant I go through the message but the pitches became so enormous that I had to stop such messages by placing a threatening tone in my contact form that I will have to flag those pitches to Google for manipulating search engine rankings.  However, I think those pitches should be converted in a productive way to some good informative articles (let’s see how it works this time!).

Henceforth it would be appropriate to have a set of predetermined guest post policy guidelines (or rather a set of guest post rules), so that anybody interested in guest post blogging or wishing to get links from MT Herald could be referred here to have an idea of what needs to be done for getting their articles accepted.

Guest posting rules for writers

You don’t need to be a blogger to write a guest post here on MT Herald.  If you have a thought or information that you think will benefit anyone in the healthcare industry, you’re welcome to share the information through a guest post; don’t worry about the formatting, search engine optimization and miscellaneous other problems, I’ll take care of it.  However, if you are a blogger, by the time you are going to make a guest post blogging pitch, let me hope that you have already educated yourself on the basic blogging lessons of “How to be a good guest blogger?” and how to make the best out of the given guest posting opportunity, and that I do not have to elucidate much on all those aspects of making successful blogging pitches or projecting yourself as a good guest poster.

You can have a byline about yourself at the end of the post containing up to two, one-way, do-follow links of your choice in the byline, but definitely not an affiliate link or a link to an affiliate landing page.

Here are those guest post guidelines that you need to abide before submitting an article for guest posting:

It should be:

  • Compelling unique content not published anywhere on the internet before.
  • An MS Word document.

It could be:

  • An article related to health care, medical transcription, medical transcription industry, medical transcription business, medical transcription news, medical coding, medical billing, HIPAA, EMR, EHR etc. Health bloggers and weight loss bloggers are also welcome or even beauty or nutrition tippers.
  • Tips related to computer, internet, tech etc., or even computer or medical transcription ergonomics.
  • Anything related to uplifting the role of women in the society and betterment of their life but nothing on cooking, baking or household chores please.
  • With pictures or diagrams. Such gestures encouraged.
  • An article on your experience, your thoughts, what made you land in medical transcription, how do you find it and where do you think you’ll be in the next ten years in this career.

It should not be:

  • A sales pitch of your web site or product.
  • A review of any sort.
  • An article with numerous spelling and grammatical mistakes.
  • Anything related to gambling.
  • Anything that is not suitable for family audience like pornography.
  • Defaming or tarnishing any individual or organization.
  • A topic that has been extensively written about in the past.
  • Less than 500 words.
  • Reposted anywhere on the net once it goes live here. If found reposted, instant flagging of the other blog and the article on the other blog to Google through Google webmaster console as spamming with reference to the time and date of publishing the article on this blog and/or deletion of the article on this blog immediately without any further notice, and any further requests for guest blogging here will be turned down with no reason cited.

No changes will be made to the contents or format of the articles that you submit and the entire credit, whatsoever, goes to you alone.  However, if found needed to make some changes due to various obvious reasons such as search engine optimization, controversies etc., you may be requested to make changes before publishing.

If you have a post that meets the above-said guidelines, write a killer title within 64 characters with appropriate keywords included that may compel to click anybody if found on the search engines and send it to my email address mt [at] mtherald [dot com] and expect a reply within a day if your post has been accepted or not, or if it needs any alteration, and if accepted the possible date of the article going live.  If rejected, you are obviously free to use it anywhere on the net. See a sample guest post on health.

You can’t buy links from this blog for any cost. So make the best use of this guest blogging opportunity.
