We’re excited you’re interested in writing for us. Learn more about our brand below.
We are currently receiving a high volume of requests every day and we appreciate your patience as we handle these requests as quickly as possible, in the order that they were received.
Articles submitted for consideration should be of interest and appropriate for the readers of the Promo.com Blog. We prefer articles that introduce new ideas and advance conversations around topics and trends that engage our readers – think op-ed rather than content marketing. We appreciate lively, polished writing that balances research or news with memorable anecdotes or examples that help illustrate your point of view.
Given the large volume of posts that we receive daily, we ask that your posts be in a ready-to-publish state that is consistent with our existing content standard when you submit them for
final review. While we review each post and
may adjust formatting as needed, posts
requiring heavy editing may be rejected.
We might syndicate content published on the
Promo.com Blog to third parties such as
Medium, Yahoo! News, Bing News, Google
News, and content distribution platforms.
Please proofread and edit your posts carefully
before submitting, as they syndicate the version
originally published on our site. We cannot edit
or remove posts once they are live, and we do
not have the ability to edit or remove posts
syndicated to external sites. If repeated
requests to edit are made, your contributor
status may be revoked.
All contributors are responsible for the
originality and accuracy of their submissions.
Any contributor found to be plagiarizing any
percentage of his or her content will be subject
to an investigation of his or her entire body of
work. If found guilty of plagiarism, the offending
author will be banned from the community with
all content removed.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to:
While we encourage drawing from your own
experiences in business to support your ideas,
over-the-top self-promotion (of yourself or your
company) will prevent us from publishing your
article. The same goes for dense jargon and
abstract, blanket assertions.
Posts may not be promotional or advertorial.
We do not publish company-specific news,
press releases, or content reading similar to a

include a relevant CTA at the end of their posts.
This may be either image- or text-based (1-2
sentences).
All content publication & editing is done at the
discretion of the Promo.com Blog team.
All posts must be at least 600 words, but long-form content (1,000+ words) is accepted and encouraged.
Articles may include relevant images, videos, and outbound links that improve the overall experience of our community.
Irrelevant hyperlinks will be removed and submissions containing keyword stuffing will be rejected.
