Expectations of Contributors
Although The 104 Homestead appreciates you writing in your own voice and style, we do have some expectations for posts submitted to the site. These expectations include the following:
Original Content
All posts submitted must be new and original. Posts must be exclusive to The 104 Homestead (not on your own blog or a guest posted elsewhere). You can certainly offer a teaser on your own site, so long as it directs readers to your guest post here.
Word Count
Posts should be between 500 and 2,000 words. Anything exceeding 2,000 words may be broken into two posts that will be published a week apart from each other.
Proficient Writing Skills
I, of all people, know that editing errors occur, but submitted posts should be free from spelling and grammatical mistakes and should require little editing.
Post Ownership
The post you write for The 104 Homestead belongs completely to you, as do the photographs you include. I do ask that you do not use an exact duplicate of the post on your own blog or on any other blog, as that will hurt all those involved in Google’s eyes.
Photographs
Photographs that are shared on social media (the first and last photos in a post) will be marked with The 104 Homestead’s logo, but will be credited to you in the caption with a link. This is so that people recognize our branding while scrolling through their feed. Photos are only required in tutorial and recipe posts, but are always welcome for other topics as well.
Although not required, it would be great if you would promote your post on social media. This promotion will greatly benefit both of us.
Compensation
In addition to revenue from your affiliate links, you will be paid $50 at the time your post goes live. This amount may increase if you end up being a good fit and a regular contributor.
