Hi! I love to have guest bloggers on Raising Kids With Purpose! Have a topic that fits raising kids while being intentional? Read the guidelines below and submit your post today!
Audience
Please keep my audience and readers in mind when writing a post:
- Mostly moms but I try to keep dads in mind as well
- Parents with kids ages toddlers – school age
- Ages 20-45
- People from all cultures
Type or Articles/Posts
Articles should have these things in the post:
- Original: Must be written
for Raising Kids With Purpose (RKWP) and not published anywhere else. A similar
post is fine, but not verbatim. - Personal story or anecdote: Use stories that relate to RKWP’s audience and draw them in
- Keywords: The topic’s
keyword needs to be something RKWP’s audience is searching for. Find a
high-volume keyword that ranks well but parents are searching because they
haven’t found sufficient information on it yet. There are many keyword checker
websites to help you with this. - Keep Social Media in Mind: Some articles may not rank well on Google but will do great on social
media. Emotional and shocking stories tend to do better on Facebook.
Format:
- Word length: 1,250 – 2,500 words
- Written for the internet:
- Well-organized

- Short Paragraphs
- Lots of headings and
subheadings - Bullets
